Do You Want To Go Into Gamestop?

I can't tell if he's my son or not. He farts like me, but he doesn't want to go into Gamestop.

Say Dada?!

Apparently my baby son has decided he's not going to say mama or dada. Or pretty much anything else we want him to say. His only response is "uh uh" and to shake his head. lol!

iPhone Commercials Make Me Cry

Do these iPhone 4 commercials get anybody else all misty-eyed whenever they see them?

By the way, why does she say "Do you got a minute"?

Mr Independent

I really need to be better about documenting Rhys' growth or at least putting down some stories. Taking pictures is always my goto, but I need to write this stuff down!

Case in point, he's becoming quite a daredevil lately. From climbing on the couch to diving into a pile of clean clothes, he's pretty fearless. He's walking really well, even in shoes. We went to Kohl's the other day and he walked a lot while we were there. He wouldn't hold my hand much and kept pulling away.

Mr. Independent I call him.

He has also decided that touching my Xbox (and removing my memory card) is funny. It's funny because when I say no, he goes faster and laughs hysterically. It's not funny!

I'm constantly amazed at how smart he is. He shows ingenuity all the time. If he can't reach something in his toy box, he finds something closer it's sitting on and gets that. He has also started to dance when there's music on the tv. It's so awesome to see him grow.

I just hope he figures out that the Xbox is not a toy!

Busy Baby Rhys

iPhone 3G Fail

This is how laggy my phone is. And I haven't even updated to iOS4 since the backup process takes so long. I've seriously left my phone overnight and the backup looked like this...

Don't know if it's because I have over 3500 pictures on it or what, but I don't have DAYS to leave my phone connected to iTunes while it does its thing.

Rhys' First Birthday Party

We had Rhys' 1st birthday party yesterday. It was a lot of fun and he raked in the stuff. More toys and clothes than anybody could ever play with or use! He's not spoiled at all.

He didn't tear into the little cake we got him like we thought he would. He just kind of looked at it and wanted out of his high chair. I guess that's good that he didn't immediately destroy it. We were prepared, though. Maybe next year!

Funny aside. I went up to Party City to get balloons and ended up buying a bunch of purple ones that I thought were blue. Thanks, colorblindness!

Wipeout

Tell me this isn't the funniest thing you've ever seen!

Rhys' First Birthday

Yesterday was Rhys' first birthday! Rhea and I took the day off and spent it with him. Unfortunately, part of that included taking him to the doctor for his one year check up and getting some shots. He handled them like a total champ, though. Then we went to a cool place called Pigtails and Crewcuts and got his hair cut for the very first time. They did a great job and we got some awesome pictures. He's such a good boy.

We also sent in his picture to Good Day and he was featured as a birthday on the show!
