A Plethora of Pictures

I am sure you are all happy to see the title of this post. My posts have been very picture-less the last month.

This first picture is Dallas playing in a box again, but if you will notice the box is very small. He smooshed himself in it and proceeded to watch TV. I guess the box (and the way Dallas had to fold himself up to fit inside) was more comfortable than it looked.


This next picture is another marker mishap. Apparently he put it in his mouth and up his nose. What a lucky marker... (sorry about the booger shot).


Some night in the middle of December (before we moved) I went in Dallas' room after some WoW to make sure he was covered before I went to bed. This nightly ritual used to include putting Dallas back into his bed, but we hadn't had to do that since the summer really. I had to that night though. Dallas' closet had been cleared out and packed so there was ample space inside. Yes, our son came out of the closet...


These next two pictures I just took and not only show off the quirky personality of Dallas but also the amazing PJ's I made for him while in Canada with quite a bit of help from Cam's mom. The print was some little frogs and bubbles with green buttons. I was counting up to three and telling him to smile before I took this picture. The mouth shape and hands are from him saying and signing "go" when I reached three.


I did it all except for putting the shoulder in and some of the piecing together (Cam's mom was nice enough to do those scary parts for me). However she wouldn't agree to put in the buttons or button holes. The PJ's were all done (hemmed and everything) except for the buttons and I just KNEW I was going to ruin the pj's then and there. Surprisingly it all went fine and other than the button holes being a little too far in they are perfect really. I give all the credit to Cam's mom and beginners luck (sorry for the runny nose picture).


This next photo was also taken today. I found where the amazing ergo baby carrier had been buried in the garage (with all the stuff we moved) and since I had already received a quick tutorial from Jen a few days before I decided to see if I could replicate what she did. And I did. I put Chelane in and carried her around the house for a little bit really loving the way it felt. I took it off and stowed it back in the box it came in.

A few minutes later Dallas comes out with the carrier wrapped around him the same way he saw mommy doing it. I put Cam's old, pink stuffed monkey Chee-chee in the carrier and cinched it up to a Dallas-size and let him walk around the house a bit. The picture got taken a few minutes after I had done this and, as you can see, he is already getting tired of it and taking the ergo off.
