Most Beautiful Baby

I did something I regret. I entered my precious child in Regis and Kelly's "2008 Beautiful Baby Search." They're giving away $125,000 in college funds to the winner, which they will not announce until February 11th. Being a hopeful, new, doting, prouder-than-a-peacock Mom, of course my son will win. Why wouldn't he? Have you seen his award winning cheeks? Well...I emailed his photo in 2 weeks ago and it hasn't even made the website baby gallery yet. Trust me- I check several times- daily...nightly... Anyhoo, I am losing hope that he will get the grand prize if he hasn't even made the stinkin' gallery yet. And you can hate me for saying this, but I now doubt my fair skinned, dark blonde, blue eyed baby is going to be granted a free ride to college. Why, that would just be an outrage.

Too bad. I guess all that matters is how delicious he is to his Daddy and me.

Where Did My Baby Go?

Do you see what I see? Besides the big scratch on his nose? Those teeth came through sometime last week. We woke up one morning and there they were. Well, if only it were that simple...the teething was really starting to take a toll on all of us as we watched the poor little man chew on everything in sight, drool nonstop, cry in fits of rage over the pain, and knaw on cold washcloth after cold washcloth. Trust me, I'm psyched that those little devils finally pushed through, but every time he smiles, I see myself dropping him off at college! Everyone keeps asking if he's crawling yet but we're nowhere near that fun stuff. Thank God. One milestone at a time please. The teeth are still sinking in for me.

The Playdate

We may want to consider getting him around other children a little more often, because this little prince did NOT want to share his castle today.

Out Of Everything That Santa Brought This Year...

this is his favorite toy in the world. And it's used! Was a hand-me-down given to in in-laws...their grandchildren outgrew it. Anyway, he can't get enough of it. And of course- we can't get enough of him. Rock on B-Lo!

Happy New Year!

We got off to a great start yesterday- if you love taking daring road trips through Vermont in the middle of a snowstorm! We spent a total of 5 hours in the car to get home from the weekend trip. But I have to say, our little peaches was just that- a peach. Not a peep out of him the whole time. We had a great time with him...went sledding for the first time and he loved it. How lucky are we to start the new year off with this little dude? It's going to be a great year.
