Doot Doot Da Doot, Doot Doot Da Doot...

The little guy is turning 2 on Tuesday, so for an early birthday present, mom and dad took him to see his favorite character ever. Every time Elmo had to leave the stage, he would turn to one of us, scowl, and let out a big "ELMO?" Big bird used to be the cool one back in the 70's and 80's. Oh how times have changed.

And a Happy New Year!

We were able to ring in the new year at Grandma's and Grandpa's house in Arizona. The dude enjoyed playing with his cousins and watching KU win its first ever BCS Bowl title. In addition to getting the dude to sing the Rock Chalk chant and to wave the wheat, he also began counting to ten and singing the abc's. Ok, so he doesn't get every little last syllable, but he's not even 2 yet, so I think I'll cut him some slack.


If you listen, you can hear the dude counting along with me to jump in the pool.
