The Count!!!

Tom has been doing this for a month now. He started off getting to 5, but within the last few weeks he has picked up 6 thru 13. I don't know why he stops at 13, but I still find it pretty amazing that he can get that high.

You may be asking,"why is he in an empty bathtub, counting to 13?" Well, we actually use the counting thing (or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, or the ABC's) to distract him when we want him to do something that he doesn't want to do. Last night, he did not want to get out of the bath. We counted one more time, while I lifted him out and dried him. Our son is easily distracted.

Two Videos -- Nothing to Relate Them

This first video is my attempt to get Sarah to smile (she smiles A LOT by the way) on camera. As you will see, the end result was not what I was going for at all. (Please enjoy my "daddy" voice)

This next movie was taken this past Saturday at the Moore's farm. It shows some of the highlights from the day. (If I had my camera all day, the video would be over 20 minutes long, Tom had a lot of fun) The last 2 minutes or so was Thomas eating his first ever marshmallow. As you will see, at first he is not too sure. Then he gets his first little taste and does not turn back. At the end of the movie, we ask Tom where the marshmallows went, instead of telling us, he likes to show us where his food goes.

Sarah Jane at 2 Months

Sarah had her 2 month check-up yesterday and is doing very well. She is in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. I knew she was pretty long, but didn't think she weighed a whole lot. I guess when I compare her to Thomas, she just feels so much lighter. Anyway, it was a good news day for sure.

No One Likes the Browns...Even a 23 Month Old

Tom Meets His First Famous Person

That's right, it's Windell, the Miller High Life guy from the commercials. He was at the liquor store right near our house on Sunday. What was I doing with Thomas in a liquor store on a Sunday? That question is irrelevant. WE GOT TO MEET WINDELL!!! He even gave Tom a signed autograph and the three of us got a picture together.

As you can tell by the video, Tom was a little bit nervous about meeting someone so famous. I mean, who wouldn't be? But by the time we were out in the parking lot and walking home, Tom was repeatedly saying "Who Dey" and "Wendell". Add on top of that, a Bengals' win over the Stillers, man what a day!

Our Little Out-Law

Anyone who follows the Bengals will get the title of this post. Tom is wearing a Chris Henry jersey. Henry has been arrested a bunch of times since being drafted by the Bengals. Last year they finally got tough and kicked him off the team, only to turn around a few weeks later and bring him back aboard. Hi-Pop (my dad) got this jersey for Tom and said we should make him wear it when we put him on the naughty step.

Well, since the Bengals won this Sunday(and Henry scored a TD), Tom is going to be wearing the Chris Henry jersey quite a bit this season. Also, it is a size 4T, so he has at least another year before he grows out of it. We are all hoping Chris Henry stays out of jail in the meantime.
