Real. Live. People. Food.

The little guy got to try diced carrots tonight. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

Just after he had his first bite.

Needless to say, he was NOT a fan.

Just Hanging Out

The big boys are just hanging out, watching Shawn's new movie on his DVD player "computer." (I just want to say that Santa was BRILLIANT when she he came up with giving Shawn a DVD player. He loves that thing.)

Hm. We've never seen this episode of Blue's Clues.

Did you see that? That was hilarious!

Ack! What was that?

Bruiser

Us calling Jack a Bruiser has taken on a whole new meaning...

The evidence

It seems my boy has decided to try out all of those teeth of his*. (These marks are from Monday.) It was bound to happen, I suppose. He has like a million teeth in there now. Fun times!

As an aside, it seems our boy has a bit of a stubborn streak, hence the three marks on my arm. Or...maybe that means that I am a bit slow. I should have moved my arm faster?

Ahem.

*I know I am pretty sweet, but this is taking it a bit too far, don't you think?

Shawn's Day, 2012

Today was one of those special days in my heart. ‎4 years ago, after 90 long days, our little Shawn finally came home from the hospital.

Today, is this Shawn's Homecoming Day!

He's bursting with excitement!

We celebrated our boy today...

He got to choose whatever he wanted for dinner--waffles and chocolate dip granola bar. Yum!

He got to blow out candles on his very own cake.

4 candles to blow out -- one for each year

He got to open presents all by himself! With no brother opening presents at the same time! Oh the rapture!

Yea! 2 presents to open!

This is so fun!

It's Rex from Toy Story!

And a movie!

We had some cake!

Mmmm...chocolate cake....

A great end to a great meal!

Jason is loving the cake, too!

So did Jack! :-)

We had a fantastic celebration!

Shawn's Day, 2012!

Happy Homecoming Day, Shawn. We love you very, very much!

Someone is very proud of his handy work, too. Oh, and I imagine grandma is also. :-)

Cool Tricks

Hey, Jack. What's that?

Silly mommy. This is a cup and straw!

It's amazing. All you have to do is put the straw
into your mouth and suck.

Voila! Water.
(Yes, Jack totally says "voila!")

It's pretty fun to do. So much better than that other thing
you make me use. A sippy is SOOO last year, mommy.

Mmmm....I love me some water, mommy.

Hm. This way doesn't work. I guess
I have to go back to the other way of drinking.
Can't blame a guy for trying something new!

Back story: Jack has a great time selecting the toys he wants, so I've been leaving his toy box out for him. He also is getting pretty good at scooting himself around backwards. Here, the two loves meet...
