Baby Bits XXII

Posted on August 31st, 2010

E is starting to use words in conjunction with each other, to refine the concepts he can communicate. It’s pretty cool! He started with “chair pop”, when one of the bubbles we blew popped against the lawn chair; then there’s “nose hole”, one of his favourite things on himself or anyone; and the other day [...]

Baby Bits XXI

Here are a couple of clips. They demonstrate the love of BOOM. Check them out and see whom YOU think is the Boom King. This one works best when there are pillows or even a drum to boom on… but in a pinch, just use whatever’s handy. Related Posts:Mommy’s in the DoghouseFour Months OldHappy New [...]

BANG Movie Review: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Posted on August 20th, 2010

That’s TWICE I’ve gone gallivanting to the movies in as many weeks!! What is the world coming to? My hubby and I were going to see Inception, but circumstances prevented it. If we were to go to the movies again sometime soon (can you imagine??), that would be why. Meanwhile, Sean was pretty stoked to [...]

Baby Bits XX

Posted on August 18th, 2010

Here we are at our 20th Baby Bits already! (Hope you don’t mind my use of bullets in practically every post… I love them so.) E is still a Baby – he said so. Daddy asked him this morning, “Who’s a cutie-pie?” and he tapped his own chest and said, “Baby.” (He also apparently knows [...]

BANG Movie Review: Dinner for Schmucks

Posted on August 17th, 2010

Rotten Tomatoes is not so hot on the new film Dinner for Schmucks. Skye and I went to see it anyway. Here are thirteen thoughts about it. Adaptation of 1998 French film “Le dîner des cons”, ergo pretty zany. I do not recall anyone in the film actually using the word schmuck. There were lines [...]

BANG Book Review – Three Cups of Tea

Posted on August 14th, 2010

The GGG’s latest book, discussed yesterday over frozen drinks on the patio (which, now that I think about it, is a bit ironic), was Three Cups of Tea, by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. It says Greg Mortenson’s name first on the cover, but it seemed to me that David Oliver Relin was more [...]

Baby Bits XIX

Posted on August 12th, 2010

Here are some more Bits, for E’s beloved Papa (my dad, his grandpa – Papa is what we call him and E has now latched onto the term)… because there are always more! I just don’t want to bore you with every little time he says something cute… plus there are too many to count… [...]

Baby Bits XVIII – Fourteen Months and One Day

Posted on August 9th, 2010

It’s time for some Bits. E has a joke. It involves putting random things on his head and saying “Hat.” Lately he’s getting especially silly and putting multiple “hats” on Mama or Daddy at once. Latest example is an aluminum pie plate AND a plastic octopus… what a stylish combo! His vocabulary is growing at [...]
