Oh my darling, Clementine

January 31, 2012

I love clementine season.  So sweet and easy to peel.  Maxwell got his hands on one last week and I think he liked it as much as me!

Of course, if I peel one and put segments on his plate to eat, he won’t touch them.  Strange.

It’s all in the presentation I guess!

In other news, have I mentioned we’re sick around here?  We are.  Maxwell has a lovely cough, runny nose and double ear infection.  Boo.  We were on Amoxicillin for 3 days and he wasn’t getting better so now we’ve switched to Augmentin.  I just want my little buddy to feel better!

Would love to hear from you! 4 Comments

Happy Monday all!  A little something different for you to start your week…some talking pics!

As I mentioned last week, Maxwell has finally decided to start saying Mama.  It makes this Mama very happy!

If you can’t see the video, click here to watch it on Flickr.

However, I still hear this a lot more than I hear Mama!

too funny. too, too funny.

ps – yay me for finally figuring out how to embed videos into the blog!  woohoo!

pps – I’m not going to start posting a lot of videos because I always think they’re kind of annoying to watch on other people’s blogs but, these were too funny to me not to share.

ppps – have a great week!

Friday Favorite

January 27, 2012

It’s been too long since I’ve done a Friday Favorite around here!  This one is very special to Maxwell…a true favorite.

Wheels on the Bus by Paul Zelinsky

I bought this book before Maxwell was born and had no idea how much he would love it.  And love it he does!  No matter all the other books around, this is the one that he pulls out over and over again. He loves to pull and push and make things move.  The windows go up and down, the doors go open and shut, the driver says move on back, the babies go wah wah wah and the wipers go swish swish swish….at least they used to!  Maxwell has almost loved this book to death…evidence below of where the wipers used to be!

I think we might have to get a new copy to have around!

The book was also great to teach me the words to all the verses of the song…a song we sing a lot around here!  🙂  If you’re looking for a fun book for your kid or a great baby gift, can’t recommend this book enough!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Phone pics

January 26, 2012

I had our little playgroup over here on Tuesday.  It was a gorgeous, sunny 65 degree day (in January!!) and we had so much fun playing outside.  Then Maxwell fell off the stairs and hit the brick patio head first…hard.  Not so much fun.  He was fine after a while but he’s got a good strawberry on his noggin!  Ouch!

But, things are once again right in his world because the Alagasco truck came back for a visit yesterday and he was in truck-watching heaven…

Oh, to be a little boy! *please also note the short sleeves.  70 degrees yesterday!!

And now, time to clean off the ole iphone…

I need to start using the cool Hipstamatic or Instagram app or something.  What camera apps do you have that you like?  Suggestions?  I do really like the self-portrait feature of the new iphone…it can make for some funny pics…

Now that’s a close-up!  See you tomorrow!

He’s so cute…

January 25, 2012

I can BEAR-ly stand it!!

Yep, I really just wrote that!  That’s ok, I own my corny jokes.

As I said on Facebook, this shirt is an ode to my high school mascot, the Bruins.  (um, not really. but it does look like the bear we used so why not?)

ps – like the shirt? I made it!  Crafty McCrafterson here.

pps – would anyone like to know how I made it? Would that be something you’d like to see in the (not so)FAQ’s? If so, let me know in the comments!
