things that make me happy

in an effort to try to revitalize my blog i am committed to even short posts even without the cutie-pie pictures of the little man. i really want this to be a record of our life here in los angeles. i have a horrible memory so it also serves as a sort of diary for me so that when i'm old and gray (i mean really, really, gray - not the little i have here and there right now) i have a record of funnies, moments, events, to look back on. so here is a post that's a little different than the norm that i'm sure to find refreshing when i look back at this years from now....

the funny things cashel's done lately -

try to wink - he squeezes both eyes very tightly

squeeze watermelon as hard as he can with his bare hands to watch and feel the juice

practice walking sideways and backwards

climb on top everything- ok - not so much funny as scary

place a ball in his basketball hoop that's too big

smile and clap very hard during "if you're happy and you know it..."

point to everyone's nose and say "no?"

i swear he loves to be caught in the act - he'll grab something (the remote) he's not supposed to have - wait for us to notice and say something - smile, then run

speaking of remotes, as of this date, our tv remote has been "gone" now for 3 weeks

he says "ball" "dog" "cheese" "mama" "dada" "no no no (while moving his finger)"

grab his you know what anytime he's naked

runs from us when he's naked

grabs my shirt to "drag" me around

like to play "ring around the rosy" and "fall down" at random times

i told jason not too long ago that the coolest thing about parenthood in my opinion is that i get the pleasure of just watching this little boy grow. yea for us!

i can't wait to add to this list :-)
