Speaking of baths, Desmond loves bath time, except where I wet down and wash his hair, he doesn’t tend to like that part. Here are a couple of pictures though of him playing in the bathtub this afternoon.

So Desmond has really really really fine hair like Dan. Unfortunately that means it likes to knot up especially when he sleeps. The boy has horrible bed head. Anyways here are a couple of pictures including one from his bath today of him right after his nap with his lovely bed head.

So yesterday we were running errands, we brought along the swim bag with us so we could go swimming afterward if timing worked out, they do adult swim every even hour on the hour for 15 minutes, so we don’t like getting to the fitness club 10 minutes before that because keeping Desmond entertained with water around that he can’t get into for 15 minutes isn’t fun.

So we did our shopping and looked at the time and decided on no pool, unfortunately boy wonder had heard us discussing it, so when we stopped he clapped his hands and was overjoyed, he was less overjoyed when he noted we were not at the pool, instead we were at home. In fact he was so displeased he decided to throw a lovely tantrum, since this was NOT a happy thing!

We did take him to the pool after dinner instead which made him quite happy. We also took him today after we ran our errands, which is a good thing since we discussed it in the car again with him right there.

FYI the child loves the water and swimming, we just need to work on floating so he can do it solo. Oh and closing his mouth in the water.

So we have a gate in front of the TV to keep Desmond away from it because he likes to climb on the entertainment center and hide behind the TV. It has been up for a couple of weeks now. The other day he pulled it out so he could walk around the side and get into the restricted area. Dan fixed it by gluing the mounts to the entertainment center. So Desmond decided instead that he would climb the gate. Oh and not just while we weren’t looking he’ll do it while we’re watching him and taking pictures.

Dan stayed home from work/worked from home today because I was exhausted this morning. So he spent most of the morning alone with Desmond, and then all afternoon with Desmond and me. Anyways this is a picture of what Desmond, Dan and K-line do when Dan is playing the xbox360.

And Desmond has a new game, he likes to come and give Daddy a hug, then grab his hair and pulling him down to the ground and ride his head. Which involved the saying, “Just like Mommy’s head, Daddy’s head is not a ride toy!”

Aww a hug, how sweet!

Now he's distracted grab the top of his head and pull!

Giddy Up, Giddy Up, Giddy Up Up up!

And the 5th of January was a very bloody day in the chocolate war of Desmond vs the peanut butter M&Ms, many M&Ms were slaughtered and damage was done to the child, but the child prevailed and the damage came off in the bath!

The battle was won and Desmond was victorious, but more battles were yet to come in the bloody war of the toddler vs chocolate!

I had my 30 week appointment with the midwife today, everything is looking good, beans heartbeat is 155ish and she is head down already. This could change, but it is nice to know. I go back again in 3 weeks, I had my choice of 2 or 3 weeks, but since 2 weeks is inauguration I decided to make it 3 weeks since they were mostly booked that day. Plus all they are going to do is weight, blood pressure, measure fudal height and check heartbeat which takes 5 minutes or so, so I’m not to worried about going back in 3 weeks rather then 2.

In Desmond stuff, he still loves the pool, we are getting our money out of the fitness club membership just from taking him there, we have gone about 4 times a week since we joined, he loves it, and is getting really good at kicking, now we just need to work on floating and he may be swimming on his own some by summer. He’s a little fish.

Dan and I are slowly working on getting the house ready for bean, we’ve decided to stop sending him to my in-laws on Friday for awhile so we can use them to watch him on Saturday or Sunday if we need them to so we can clean, since it is hard to move things and get to the attic with Desmond around “helping”.

Here s a cute picture of Desmond tonight eating dinner, and drinking from his cup. We’ve started giving him a regular cup at dinner, he is pretty good at it, though he does like to dunk his food into the cup. So tonight he ate some yummy milk dipped shrimp!

Here are the Christmas Pictures, you can see my in-law’s tree in the background of a few of these. And yes they are just of Desmond opening his presents, I didn’t take that many pictures this year. He does love opening gifts though.

Okay here are the pictures of Desmond opening his Hanukkah present.  This is his Wheely Bee Bug which was his big present this year other then his camera.  Anyways here he is opening his gift.  He enjoys openning his gifts more then playing with them it seems.
