Genes

My sweet boy has apparently inherited my love of fruit, particularly grapes.

I had no idea that sort of thing could pass down through genetics.

Drinking grape juice and eating grapes - what could be better?

I think there is also a silliness gene, and if so, Wade got double doses of silliness.

How am I ever going to keep up with this kid?

Little Man on the Move

You know that feeling when you work really hard for something, trying out various paths, putting in great physical exertion to achieve your goal.

Wade actually was working on this for about ten minutes before I started recording him.

That's a lot of determination for an 11 month old.  He was so cute and tenacious, I certainly couldn't be mad at him, especially when he finally achieved his goal.

My sweet boy was so tired yesterday. 
He fell asleep in the middle of the living room, right on the floor.
He looked so sweet and serene; I just had to take a picture.

When he woke up, his head was pressed in the shape of the carpet.  Poor boy!


Not too much later, at dinner, the phrase turned into poor mom, not poor boy....

Wade went right into the bath tub.  Dad usually chooses to clean up Wade over the kitchen, but not last night, so Mom had to bathe the sticky child.  (In my opinion, I got lucky with that.  Maybe I'll let Wade make huge messes every night!)

Learning to Eat

Learning to eat politely can be a very difficult task.....
                                         especially for an almost 11 month old little boy.

He must figure out how to get the spoon into the bowl, scoop food into the the tiny basin, and bring it back to this tiny target we call a mouth without anything falling off. 

In the video I was unable to unload, Wade picked up the bowl and began nibbling on it, I'm sure hoping that the food would somehow get into his mouth. 

Or maybe he just wanted to chew on plastic, that would not be a surprise at all. : )

Wade's First Band-aid

.... other than the Band-aids he got after his immunizations, of course.

Mom was wiping his face one minute, and the next she was picking him up off the floor, hugging and kissing a very sad little boy.

Mom and Dad sure felt sad when we saw that scraped up little nose.  Wade was a little traumatized.

Thank goodness for Neosporin and Band-aids that make "owies" all better.

Summer Adventures

Wade is having such a fun summer.

The first major event of the summer was a trip to..... DISNEYLAND!

Wade tried to take out Mickey, but who could blame him?  He's a gigantic mouse....

There was a lot of napping going on.

"Momma, that is a strange looking man."

We also went to Huntington Beach.  Wade hated the water and tolerated the sand.

Disneyland was an awesome adventure for Wade.  He loved all the colors and lights and having his family around.

Thankful for Primary Music...

Singing my child to sleep as he lies in my arms..... priceless.


I sing to Wade all the songs that I learned while I was in Primary.
They are the perfect lullabies.
They are peaceful and positive.
I'm so grateful for my teachers who taught me this great music.
