Christmas part 2

We ended up doing Christmas a day late. I had some some sort of stomach virus and spent the better part of the day at the ER getting fluids. I don't think Oscar noticed though.

Starting with the aftermath. This child never needs anything again. Ever. Mildly interested....
These were a big hit. They make loud noises :)

Getting tired
The monkey puppet got some good laughs

Standing up...sorta

We have a room in our house that is the home theater room/guest room/dance room. Paul put some mirrors up on the wall, and it's a great space to belly dance, practice yoga, or whatever. It now has a new use in entertaining Oscar. One of our new favorite activities is to go downstairs, hang on to the bedouin pillows, and look at the baby in the mirror. It's pretty darn cute. You have to help him stay upright, but he loves it.

Random pictures

How is he already a couch potato???A different picture of the tree.
I loved the expression on his face in this one.
Mouth breather - I suppose that comes with the couch potato quality ;)

Christmas pictures part 1

I bought Paul and Oscar matching PJs, so I thought it was only appropriate to torture them with pictures. Paul took the first one of the tree... a nice, arty rendition of Christmas.It took forever to get Oscar to smile! He gets really distracted by the camera.
Finally, we got a few..

Then we started messing with him. Paul blew on the back of his head. This picture captured the very beginning of what turned into 30 minutes of crying. I think he got scared :(

Burping

If you listen closely at the beginning of this clip, you can hear his "man burp". Otherwise, it's just a video of him being cute after he ate.

Introducing the letter M

'nuff said

Smuggling golf balls

Could those cheeks be any chubbier????

Hat pictures

Aftr he woke up, he was feeling pretty photogenic, so we snapped several pictures.

GRUMPY!

Maybe I'll smile....


FINALLY!

Going out for Indian Food

We had to wake him up. He actually slept through his dinner. I can't believe how big he is in this picture!

Happy and fed!!

In our car seat ready to go.

Uh-oh he woke up!

Maybe not... back to sleep

Horsey Pajamas

He will hate me later for these pictures....
They even have a little tail.

The back of Oscar's head where he's lost his hair.

Waking up

I took these a few days ago when he was waking up. This stern look I thought was pretty funny.
Generally, pretty happy to be awake!

I hate poo

That says it all.  I hate poo.  I'm sick of it.  It's makes me gag and makes my eyes water almost every time.  We got this thing called a "Diaper Champ" that uses regular garbage bags rather than a special bag, and the thing stinks constantly.  Everytime you put a dirty diaper in it, you get a great big noseful of poo.  I've been told we need a diaper genie to avoid this, but I hate the idea of special bags.  However, if it kept me from wretching each time I cleaned out the diaper pail, it would probably be worth it.

I hate poo.

No picture to accompany this post.  That would be gross.

Kimono organic baby

Our new Kimono outfit. It's all organic fabric from Baby Soy. It baffled me at first putting it on him, but worked itself out. There are lots of snaps to keep it in its place.

This first picture isn't great, but I thought it was cute.
