Happy Thanksgiving!

Reason #472 to love preschool: Poki comes home singing adorable songs!

Fun With Mommy's Camera

"Mommy, I'm going to hold Ping Pong and you can take our picture!"







"Okay, now it's my turn to take the picture. You hold Ping Pong. Make him fly--yeah like that!"



"Now it's Ping Pong's turn to take a picture of us...no, Ping Pong--don't eat Mommy's camera!"

Canada: Land Of The...Wait, What?

Scene: This morning, Poki comes climbing into bed with Mom and Dad.

Poki: Can we go to Toronto this morning?

Dad: Toronto? Really? Hmm...it's a pretty long drive, kiddo, and I have to work today. Maybe we can go another time.

Poki: Ah, man! I really want to go today!

Dad: Sorry, Poki. I wish we could just pick up and go to Toronto, but we can't.

Poki: whimper...I really want to go to Toronto now.

Mom: What's in Toronto, Poki?

Poki: Toronto is a really big, big factory filled with libraries and toy stores!

Mom (whispering to Dad): Man, is this kid going to be disappointed when we actually take him to Toronto...

Happy Eight Months!

Today Ping Pong is 8 months old! I wish I had some adorable picture or video to post, but unfortunately, poor Ping Pong is very sick. He's terribly dehydrated following 4 days with the stomach flu. Send healing thoughts our way and hopefully we'll get some cute pictures up before you know it!

Brrrr...

It's getting cold out there!

Mum-Mums!

Today marked yet another milestone in our house: My first mum-mum. For those of you who don't know, mum-mums were my brother's favorite snack as a baby. In fact, my folks pretty much kept the company in business for awhile there. Anyway, today I had my first mum-mum and, of course, Mom had to document it.

Now, just to warn you, as adorable as I am eating my mum-mum, my brother Poki really tries to steal the show here...especially when he provides our readers with a little TMI.



And as if my eating the mum-mum wasn't cute enough, just look at what else I've been doing lately during mealtimes...(again, please forgive my brother's 2nd crude announcement).



Yay for mum-mums! (And potty-trained 3-year-olds!)

More Halloween Decorations

So...we got a little more into our Halloween decorations this year (and by "we," I mean Mom). We showed you some of our decorations in the last Halloween post, but we thought we would post an better picture of the house.

I told Mom I wanted to make our house into a haunted house, but she didn't want to go out and buy a bunch of scary zombies and skeletons for the yard. Instead, she made our house really look like it was haunted.







Peek-a BOO!



It's nothing too fancy, but the UPS man did say it was the best house he's seen this year. And that's saying something!

First Tooth!

I guess there isn't really more to say after that post title...I got my first tooth! I had a sleepless night last night and Mom just noticed why. It's on the bottom right (my right), and the left one looks like it will be coming in any day!

Yep. I'm turning into a big boy...right before my mother's tear-filled eyes.

A Bouncing Baby Ping Pong!

Because I could never grow tired of watching Ping Pong jump in his exersaucer, I've decided to treat you guys to 3 whole minutes of adorable (albeit, probably nauseating) video footage of him in action. If you listen carefully, you can hear that he's actually out of breath.
