Braving the Elements:

This past week, as most of you know, we received quit a bit of snow that made most of us home bound and if you live near us then certainly in a position to dig yourself out.

While we were home we noticed our neighbor sitting out on her porch - a bit odd since it was around 20 degrees and definitely not porch weather. As we took a closer look (did I mention we were home bound and BORED) we noticed something even more peculiar...

yep thats right - front porch, indian style, no shoes, laptop and her trusty friend. I guess she really needed a break.

Shayden has begun to laugh out loud and we are just loving it. Here he is with Chris this morning.

Enjoy!

The Look of Satisfaction:

While we were at Grandma's the other day Shayden decided to explode out of his diaper...as I was stripping him of all his clothing and attempting to plug the contents of his diaper (notice wet wipe sticking out of diaper) I decided to record the scene and realized when I got home the look my little man was giving me as I snapped the picture - pure satisfaction!

What a little stinker!

While the snow was falling this week and we were all feeling a little home bound Shayden decided to have a rather tough day...this equaled a night of waking up at 2am, 5am and not going back to sleep at all until 8:50am (which only lasted 45 minutes). So after a tough night and a rough morning he was in rare form...so tired and not quite sure what to do with himself, which also meant Chris and I weren't quite sure what to do with him either. After exhausting all entertainment options and once again only taking a 1 hour nap in the afternoon Chris decided it was Jerry Springer time! He rolled out the swing, turned on the TV and commenced in Jerry Springer Baby Entertainment. I should mention that we don't have cable and barely get the one station you see there, but I wasn't complaining it afforded me 15 minutes of bliss.
