Art's Monologue

"I know, I know, I know where it is. I know where it is. I know where the paper is. Oh, it's not there. It's not there. Oh! Oh! Oh! I know! I know where the paper is! It's on the counter! It's on the counter! I know where the paper is!" "I'm 'a go downstairs." (Goes down the stairs.) "I'm 'a go back upstairs." (Immediately comes back up the stairs.) [ The previous monologue was prompted by the instructions, 'You can open the pen and draw on paper, but only on paper.' So he looked for paper. ]

Art with the Chair that Josh Built

Image
After searching for a booster seat that could be pushed in with the chair and that wasn't hideous, we commissioned Uncle Josh to make one to fit our dimensions. Here is the beaultiful result!

Baby Jess

Here's Jess, probably around one, with her uncle Bob in the background. Look at those cheeks!

Can you find the Uncle Josh?

Art checks his blood pressure at the hospital during a recent overnight stay. Art waits patiently as Mama gets an ultrasound. Thanks, Art. Art and I put our valuables in the locker at the YWCA before we went swimming.

"Hiding." "Want to be naked!" Yesterday we went swimming at the YMCA. Next year I don't think he'll fit in the lockers.

Art visits Mama in the hospital and is happy.

When Art was born.

This is shortened version of an earlier video of the day(s) Art was born (11/29/05). Something to get Jessica in the birthing mood...

Some new photos.

During baby class, Art paints a mouse to hang in Mama's room in the hospital. Art at Josh and Ashley's house Sunday. He ate well, played well, and slept for a long time with Tula and Ashley. Cold Blueberries! Papa's big hat! Tasty delivery! Our neighbor Becca (and great cook and friend) just dropped off a big and extrememly tasty spinach lasagna. It arrived after art had already eaten dinner, but he insisted on having another dinner when he saw the lasagna. he ate loads.

Tato Mister

My mom gave Art a Mr. Potato Head the other day and he's having fun with it.  "Arm on the head!" he says while he sticks a third arm where the hat would go.  As he was first meeting it he got it's name flipped around and called it, "Tato Mister".  Language assimiliation is so much fun!!!

Art with his favorite person in the world.

Happy New Year!!!!

Is this Art's first New Year's kiss? Evva and her parents came over for an early New Year's Eve party. Party was over by seven for bedtime. As you can see, Evva is very affectionate and loves to look after Art. He had spilled a little milk on his chin and she got down from her chair to find a napkin and clean him up. Already wooin' the ladies and he's only two!
