Whose Line Funny to Wrap up the Night

If you are like me, you really with that 'Whose Line is it Anyway' was still on tv.  I laughed SO hard at every episode.  I thought I'd post one clip for you all to enjoy!  Have a good laugh!  Goodnight everybody!  I'm off to bed...

My Little Chatterbox

Saying that Brennan is starting to talk pretty well is a complete understatement!  He is a chatterbox, talking about anything and everything ALL DAY LONG!  This is just a short video showcasing Brennan's language skills.  :)

HE'S BAAAACK! FWA-ZEE-ZEE

Since mid-December, a cherished member of our household has been missing in action.  You're probably already feeling worried for us, thinking that our beloved dog or cat (we don't have a cat...) has run away.  Don't worry- this situation was just a tad different. 

You see, Brennan has this Little People block set that came with toy monkey and zebra figurines.  He carried them around like little buddies until one day, we could no longer find "Fwa-zee-zee" (A.K.A.- Zebra).  We scoured the house from top to bottom searching for Fwa-zee-zee, to no avail.  We assumed that he was still tucked away into some secret little hiding spot and that he would turn up soon.  We also assumed that if we didn't find him, Brennan would quickly move on and forget about Fwa-zee-zee.  NOT THE CASE!

Every night, and sometimes multiple times during the day, Brennan would grab either my or Ryan's hand and say, "Fwa-zee-zee!" while pulling us along on the hunt with him.  He would always start the search in his room, laying down flat on the floor to peer under his changing table, before moving onto other possible hiding spots.  We looked everywhere!  The only logical explanation was that he could have been thrown away (but I went through the garbage before bringing it out just in case...) or flushed down the toilet.  Of course, when I asked Brennan if he flushed Fwa-zee-zee, he just replied, "Flushed!" along with a matching hand gesture.  Where else could Fwa-zee-zee be?!?!  Finally we decided that Fwa-zee-zee was not going to be found, at least not anytime in the near future.  We figure that we'll probably find him on the day we move out of our house, sometime down the road...  Still, Brennan wanted to keep looking for him and we were getting quite sick of looking.

Lucky for us, there was one (and ONLY one) exact Fwa-zee-zee match on eBay, and I quickly decided that it was worth the $3.49 to just buy it and end the hunt.  Fwa-zee-zee just arrived in the mail yesterday, but instead of simply giving him to Brennan, I had a plan.  We were going to make all of the hunting worthwhile!

I secretly sneaked Fwa-zee-zee into the perfect location under Brennan's changing table when he wasn't looking and waited, camera in hand, for the hunt to begin!  The results were pretty darn cute.

Now, as I write this, Fwa-zee-zee lays on the couch next to me, waiting to be flushed played with.  He looks pretty happy to be home!  I know his tiny owner is glad to have him back.

Squirrel Burying a Nut

Have you ever heard the expression, "squirrel away"?    Well, I think this video describes it perfectly.  I had the pleasure of watching a squirrel bury a nut in my yard yesterday.  Every time I see it, it definitely makes me smile... a lot!  I hope you enjoy this video and it makes you smile, too!

Little Man... BIG chair! B's chiropractic experience

We began going to the chiropractor almost a year ago.    Brennan used to scream in terror at the chiropractor!  Luckily, he now loves going to get adjusted.  Check out this video!  It's too cute, really!

Baby Brag #3- My Baby is Starting to Talk!

I'm soooo excited that Brennan is really starting to say a few words!  It seems like it took him a little longer than a lot of babies to say some 'real' words, but now it seems like he's learning a new one every day!  Besides saying Mama and Daddy I'm considering his first 'real' words to be "All done!".  I took this video a few days ago...

Isn't that cute!?!  Besides "all done" he is also learning to say "please", "puppy", "Emmy (our dog)", and "bottle".  He'll try to repeat almost anything we ask him to, which I think is very sweet, even if his pronunciation sounds nothing like mine :). 

I can't wait for more words!  It will make our lives so much easier just knowing a little more about what he wants and having him be able to communicate more with us!  My little man is growing up!

Another Fun First- Running in the Sprinkler!

It is hot in Southern Minnesota today- really hot!  Yesterday we broke out the baby pool for the first time this summer.  Brennan had a blast!  He wasn't sure about it at first, but pretty soon he was really enjoying it.  I tried to upload some pictures of him and his pool, but it isn't working right now...

Today I decided to hook up the sprinkler to see what he would think of it.  Here's what happened...

Hope you all got a smile out of this!
