Oscar walks!

Oscar has been talking a few steps every now and then, but today he just took off and didn't stop! I just happened to have my phone handy so I was able to get some of his first steps on film!

Because (in my mind)....

...there is no sound in the world that is better.



and here is a video of Oscar watching a video of Oscar.

{I love how when he hears his name he picks his head right up.}



and....

here is a video of Oscar, watching a video of Oscar, watching a video of Oscar.

Just kidding.

I hope you all had a very giggly, happy, silly day. We sure did.



some new videos

This first video I took of Oscar is a little jumpy. I was giving him a bath and trying to keep putting his toys up on the ledge and keep and eye on him at the same time, so I apologize if it make you a little sick. The night before, when I was giving Oscar his bath, I kept lining up all his toys along the edge, and he would take each one down while clearing his throat and throw it back into the tub. He didn't do that this time, but he still didn't think that they should sit on the side of the tub. He does this with anything you line up, whether it is on the couch, our bench or windowsill, so funny, it cracks me up every time.

This next video we took after about 15 minutes of Oscar throwing his ball around. He just started using the word "ball" and I got so excited for him, I think that is why he gets so excited about throwing it. He is playing off of my enthusiasm. No matter the reason, he is super excited and so much fun to watch play. I seriously do not know what we did before him, but I am pretty sure that we didn't laugh this much at just each other on a daily basis. (Well maybe I did this much laughing before, John is pretty funny...have you ever seen him dance? It is great... now that is a video I should have!)

*note: just to forewarn you, Oscar is pretty noisy, so if you have your volume turned way up, I would take it down a few notches.*

 



The Christmas Story

Oh I just LOVE this! Sometimes as adults we get so busy shopping for presents, decorating the house, baking goodies that we forget the real meaning of Christmas. Well, these children do a wonderful job of bringing you back to the Christmas story, and the reason we celebrate.

{LOVE}

I found this video Daydream Lily and instantly fell in love.

Maybe its is because I love Bob Dylan (*I was born in the same hospital as him, you know*),

or maybe it is because I cannot drive past an old abandoned house without dreaming of how beautiful it would be fixed up,

or maybe it is because I cannot get enough of ankle boots and flowing flowered dresses and cannot wait until spring to sport my own version of this outfit.

Either way I love this video, and I hope you love it too.
