Play time

Christopher LOVES playing in this toy. Speaking of which, he is in it right now, so I better get going.

Roly Poly

This past week Christopher’s gotten really good at rolling all over. Yesterday I was checking my email and left him in the living room playing on the floor near the couch. Then I started to hear a “thump, thump” noise. I went to the living room to see what was going on and this is what I found.

Mr. Roly Poly had rolled all the way to the TV and was stuck, bumping himself against our armoire. The funny part is that he only knows how to roll in one direction (as Biance sings it “to the left, to the left"). As you can see by his smile, he was VERY proud of himself!

P.S. I know this is another bad picture I took with my phone, but our camera's memory was full so I couldn't get a really good pic.

Trick or Treat

I know I'm really late at posting our Halloween pictures, but I just finally got them to my computer. Cory and I dressed up (if you can't tell Cory's a vet, I'm a vet's nurse, and Christopher is our penguin patient).

It was REALLY hot here in Phoenix that night (we were in the low 90s) and the poor baby had a very warm costume. He was actually a pretty good sport about it, considering he never cried or complained, but he also wasn't very smiley about it. Oh, I even got him a little pail to carry around.

Head to Toe

Christopher's newest thing is to play and eat his toes. It's really cute, but sometimes it gets in the way. The other day Cory was feeding him rice cereal and watching TV at the same time. So in that split second he turned his head to watch the TV, Christopher managed to get his toes in his mouth. Needless to say, the kid was literally covered in rice cereal from head to toe by the time he was done eating!!! (I have to admit that this has also happened to me. You get distracted for a second and he gets his foot in his mouth.)

Here he is, full on eating his foot!!

(I know the picture is blurry, but it's nearly impossible to take a clear picture of a moving baby)

Oh, here's a little update of what baby Christopher likes to do:

eat his feet
kick NON-STOP when trying to go to sleep (my mother-in-law watched him the other day and had to hold his feet down so he could fall asleep)
roll on to his tummy (he's not so good at rolling back to his back)
eat rice cereal (he hates his bottle though)
play in his exer-saucer (Thank you JD!!)

Cleaning

I consider myself a pretty clean person. I clean my house once a week and I like things to be organized. But there are some things that I just HATE cleaning. For example, I hate mopping. Every time my mom comes in to town, it seems like she’s mopping my apartment for me. Good thing I only have 3 very small areas to be mopped.

Lately I’ve been noticing how dirty my oven looks. That’s another thing I HATE cleaning. So I gathered up the courage and cleaned the oven for the first time since I’ve been married!! (Wow that’s 3 years without being cleaned. Pretty gross!!) So, is there anything you don’t like to clean?
