Noah's House

We had such a great time playing with our friend Noah at his house yesterday. Noah is 8 months older than Keaton, so he showed him all kinds of new toys and tricks! Below is a picture of Noah making Keaton laugh by putting a bowl on his head. Keaton thought this was hilarious! It is a delight to watch Keaton interacting with other children now. I can already tell we are going to have to start working on the concept of sharing soon...

How can it be?

Scott's birthday gift

Fedex finally delivered Scott's birthday present. Here's a brief interview with the birthday boy about his newest toy:

“I was skeptical about the digital music revolution.”

What is your favorite thing about your iPod?

“Clemmie’s Groovebox”

Will you share it with your wife?
“Maybe. If she’s nice”

How long did it take you to pick it out? How did you finally decide?
“Several weeks. I finally decided to save some money and go with a refurbished model.”

What is the first iPod accessory you plan to buy?

If Clementine had an iPod, what songs would she have on repeat?
"Eye of the Tiger and Tom Jones's What's up Pussycat?"

Keaton is crawling (sorta)!

He is not on his hands and knees yet, but Keaton is getting pretty fast at the army crawl these days! His favorite motivations for crawling so far include Clementine, Clementine's food, the computer cord, and Crystal Light containers. Here's a video of him in action:

Lars and the Real Girl

I heard about this movie from my friend Katy's blog, who heard about it from another blog...

This movie will make you laugh, cry, scratch your head, and hug your loved ones. Both Scott and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Definitely worth putting on your Netflix list.

Guess who got a big boy haircut?

I finally talked Scott into it. The mullet had to be snipped once and for all. So, this morning the three of us packed up in our van and paid a visit to Russ at Supercuts, so Daddy and Son could get their hair cut together. Ironically, Russ was sporting a mullet himself, so we tactfully explained that although we loved his natural style, it was time that our boy had a more polished look. The Supercuts staff and other patrons were amazed at what a good boy Keaton was while they chopped his baby locks. It is a little crooked in some spots, because Keaton moved his head a few times mid-snip, but a vast improvement overall! I am amazed at how different it makes him look... tear. Here are some before, during, and after shots:

Over the hill in style!

I thought this was too funny not to share. My dad's office arranged for him to be picked up and driven to lunch for his 60th birthday! Morbid, but hilarious!
