Video

I made this video a couple of weeks ago. Maybe having this ability on my camera is a bad idea. Cock your head while watching...

Sid is One!!!

Sid had a great birthday party today. It was pirate themed and the majority of his most favorite people in the world attended. Thank you everyone who came to his party and thank you to all those sending him love and kisses on his special day. Enjoy the pics...

Almost a year

As Sid's birthday approaches, I've really been marveling at how much he has grown and changed in this first year. Over this last weekend even we noticed a big change. Here are some photos I have taken over the last month. I will post again soon after his birthday party this weekend.

Next picture is Sid playing with my friend Melina's son.

As Sid becomes mobile I am learning that leaving him alone for a few minutes is not always the best idea...

When Michael came home this night, I handed him a ziploc bag full of the baby wipes and told him to use them first. He asked what I did when I found Sid pulling them out one by one. Grabbed the camera, of course.

Another example of the need for constant supervision...

My friend Dana bought Sid this adorable shirt. He wasn't too pleased to model it..

Are these not the cutest jammies in the whole world? Sid had a lot of fun this night. He was pulling the DVDs off the bookcase and then hiding them under the futon.

Here he is walking with his car...

Mom & Sid on his horsey.

All dressed up and ready to go to daycare.

And finally, Sid and Dad at the local Mexican restaurant.

New Things

Sid's been up to a lot lately! Here's a couple of pictures showing him playing in the living room surrounded by all his toys..

All that playing can leave a little boy tuckered out.

Here are a few photos Michael took on 2.23. Sid and Dad get to spend Mondays home alone while I'm at work. I think they love it.

Here are some pictures I took on 2.26. You can see that Sid loves his horse. Actually he seems to like the PVC pipe, more than the horse. He likes to pull the PVC pipe out of the horse's head and then I have to reinsert it, so that he can pull it out again. Kind of like the other day, he figured out that if he throws a Cheerio over his high chair tray, Hambone will eat it. Now little Hambone is starting to look a little rotund.

That last photo looks like he's crawling, but he wasn't. He's been doing an army crawl and then on March 1st, I picked him up from daycare. Tanya said he crawled (hands & knees style) and pulled himself up to a stand! He still prefers to army crawl, but will crawl the old-fashioned way when highly motivated. Here are a couple of pictures from March 1st. In the second photo, he's helping me fold clothes. He kept throwing the same pair of socks over the edge..

These next few photos are him playing with the PVC pipe, his beloved chair and his You're My Little Love Bug Book that Grandma Barbara got him for Christmas. I think it's his favorite not only because it plays music, but because it has his picture in it. :)

And finally, here are a few of him helping Dad install the gate at the top of the stairs and then of Sid giving us a preview of his new mobile life. Total chaos and destruction!

I guess the last thing I can tell you about Sid is something really cute he's done 2-3 times now. He has gotten himself into a standing position and then clapped. It's the cutest thing ever. He's the cutest thing ever. Oh, I got him a gigantic stuffed horse that he LOVES. I'll try to get some pictures of him on his horse and of him standing.
