Tasty Toes, Smelly Hands

Good and Bad News

The bad news first. Video-a-Day has ended. But I do plan on being more consistent this next year on sharing pictures and videos here on the blog. Below is one of our favorite activities with Atticus- balancing things on his head. He makes the cutest face in the world when he scrunches his nose and squints his eyes to try to shake it off.

Christmas Morning

Here are some pics and videos of this morning. At enjoyed himself thoroughly with the wrapping paper, books, the tag blanket I made for him, and Rudolph's nose.

Afternoon Fun

Yesterday afternoon, while I did some organizing in Atticus' room, Daddy kept him well entertained with what I call "rocket mouth"...

Where's the Christmas Tree?

A few days ago, we noticed that Atticus looked at the Christmas tree when we were talking about it. So we set out to check our hypothesis that he understood the words. And he did! We captured a couple of our tests on video, but since, he has had a lot of practice of entertaining us.

The Toys I Love

Boxes and plastic bags (don't worry, we only let him play with the bags when we're with him). Yesterday, Atticus received a Christmas package from his grandparents. Though we saved the gifts inside for later, "Christmas" came early for At. Here's him enjoying some cardboard.

Almost Crawling

Atticus is wanting to crawl so badly, as you see in this video, mainly so he can come to us instead of waiting for us to go to him.

Here's today's video...

Video-a-Day

I'm going to try to share a video a day of Atticus' adventures until Christmas; here's the first installment:

First Snow and a Funny Video

We had our first dusting of snow in the Ville last night, so we woke up to a semi-white world. Atticus wasn't as pleased to see the snow as we were; he looked at it open-mouthed, pretty much the same as he looks at anything we show him in order to get a response. But he did look darn cute in his jester's hat.

Unrelated to the snow. But funny:
