Eating The Apple, Video

Ashley videotaping,  jessica watching,  and Mama feeding.  We sat there while a Wynn worked on this apple for a LONG TIME. It was really a sight to see. 

Here's another one, a lot more mellow but more representative of Wynnie's enthusiasm for food.  Happy and focused.  That's my guy.

Eating An Apple Pictures

Our most important devices (Hallies cell and our laptop) died this month.  The phone into a million pieces, (smashed it repeatedly in the car trunk, just like I murdered our camera a few years ago) and our computer just stopped.  Thats all bad news.  Good news? We got new electronic toys! Yeah, except the learning curve has been steep and photos/blog have suffered.   So posts will be sloppy for awhile, nothing streamlined and there will be spelling errors.  Many. 

But omg Wynnie eating an apple is AMAZING.

First Tooth!

She swallowed it eating a ham steak. Did anyone guess anything different would happen? We wrote the tooth fairy a note, hopefully she'll understand!

Oly Pants

Oly after hearing about a friend's cat who passed away.

Oly: "Does it hurt to die?"

Oh boy.

Mama: "Um, no one really knows."

Papa, quickly:  "We are sad when people die, but everyone lives and everyone dies eventually.  It is part of life."

Clearly we weren't prepared for this conversation.

Oly:  "I hope that you guys don't die until after I have kids, because I'm going to have the cutest kids ever."

Mama:  "Yes, we aren't going to die for a long time.  And we are going to be the happiest grandparents!"

Papa, quickly, again:  "But not for a long time."

Oly:  "Right, because you weren't grown ups before I was born."

Ha!  But, um, she is correct in that statement.

Papa:  "Oly, Mama and Papa are very healthy.  That's why I go for runs, to stay healthy so I can live for a long time."

Oly: "Right.  Mama, you should go on bike rides more often.  Do you even have a bike?"

Switching subjects completely.

Oly:  "I've never been the happiest kid."

(We're both concerned)  Mama: "What do you mean?  Why aren't you happy?"

Oly: "Since Wynn was born, I've never been the happiest kid!"

(Both of us, even more concerned, but somewhat perplexed because she has a huge smile on her face): "You aren't happy that we had Wynn boy?!"

Oly:  "Yes I am!  I've never been the happiest kid in the whole world?"

Mama:  "Do you mean that you've never been happier?"

Oly:  "Yes!  There isn't a happier kid in the whole world!  I love that Wynn boy."  

Some nights she tests our patience, but she is sweet as pie on other nights.

Beach Bum

Why is Mama so concerned? !

These stairs don't look hard

And also this happened....

So, this happened.......

At 7 months.  Oly didn't climb the stairs until she was 1.
