Table Climbing

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

So I went out to the kitchen to make lunch like I do every day. While I am out there I hear the sound of a glass tipping over and hitting something (not breaking). I knew we had 2 glasses on the table, but there is no way Desmond climbed up there right? Erm wrong. So here are some picture of my little mischief maker. He uses the Green Boon Potty/step stool as a step stool so he can reach the chair, you can see it in a few of the end pictures. You can see how proud of himself he is as well. We re-enacted the scene, since at the time I couldn’t find my camera, which is why I have pictures of him climbing up, in the original instance I just looked and saw him sitting on the table.

Blueberry Pie!

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

We had blueberry pie dessert last night at my in-laws, and Desmond quite enjoyed it. See for yourself:

Dan was impressed he got blueberries on his leg, I was more impressed that he got them in his armpits:

Yes it really did take 3 people to clean him up afterwards:

Eating Jello Salad

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

We had dinner at my in-laws, and my mother in law made Jello Salad. We learned last week at my Grandmother in law’s that Desmond loves Jello, so we gave him some of the Jello Salad. It had pineapple and cottage cheese in it. Here are some pictures of Desmond eating it.

The first couple are his faces while eating cottage cheese:

He had to make sure the Jello was enjoyed by all his body parts including his hair!

Here he is enjoying his Jello salad:

Last but not least is him getting ready and licking the high chair tray so as to get as much of the Jello as he can:

Outside in the in-laws back yard

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

We went over my in-laws yesterday, had a great time. Since it was a nice day out my mother in law and I took Desmond outside while Dan and his Dad went out to pick up a new lawnmower, they couldn’t fit it in their car, so we used our Matrix. Anyways here are some of pictures from the yard.

Here are a couple of him with my Mother in Law:

Here are some of him exploring:

Here are a couple of him walking, he is getting much better at walking outside:

Here he is playing with some sticks:

Here are a few pictures of him sitting in the grass:

Duplo Box

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Last night or the night before, I think it was Wednesday night. I looked over and saw Desmond had somehow gotten himself stuck in the Duplo box. So being a good Mommy I went ahead and took pictures rather then helping him to get out.

New Blog Name?

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

I’m thinking about changing the name of this blog since it really has nothing to do with Math at all anymore. I’m just not sure what to rename it as, does anyone have any ideas? I don’t want it to be specific to Desmond since I figure when I have more children I’ll talk and post about them too. I also like to occasionally post about things other then Desmond, okay rare but still.

I’m just having problems coming up with a good name, so I am definitely looking for suggestions if anyone has any.

Crayons and an upset Desmond

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

So I decided to let Desmond play with the crayons again today to see if he wanted to draw rather then eat them. Silly me, he likes eating them. Here are a bunch of unhappy Desmond pictures. In the first few he is getting over his upset because I gave him back a crayon to play with. In the second set he is very unhappy because I won’t give him a crayon anymore, since he’d had his wax allowance for the day.

He isn’t big on drawing on the paper, but his leg and shirt are good surfaces to draw on.

Here are the second very unhappy set of pictures. He is so cute when he’s crying.

You can see the crayon in his mouth in this one.

I love his lips in this one.

Enough pictures Mommy! Talk to the hand.
