"Those inspire me, they’re very inspirationing"

So, Garrett, what do you think of chocolate?

and on the other end of the spectrum, Caira, who will do everything but smile(even though you can tell she really wants to).  She’s 54 months old, exactly, today.  Both the runts have their birthdays on the 15th :)

And this is what happens every single time I take my camera out to get product photos … he chases me saying “Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee” until he gets his photo taken, too :)  Garrett is officially 16 months old today, and finally has teeth on top!

Caira was singing a song about Christmas, I don’t remember it all (hey, it was about 15 minutes long) but one part cracked me up:  ”I told Santa I’m not bad I just have a lot of energyyyyyyyy then he got me presents ANYWAY!”.

lol

The baby’s newest word: Tasty. Oh yeah, definitely my kid :D

Anyone want a bunch of dismembered and/or headless gingerbread men marshmallows :| ?

My thinkgeek.com catalog came in the mail today (for me I might add)… my four year old snatched it and spent an hour thumbing through it oohing and aahing.  She now wants a wampa rug for her room.  And some light saber chopsticks.  And a tauntaun sleeping bag.  And that was before she got to page 6.  I ended up just leaving her to it and asked her to make a list.  lol

Caira just made kissy noises, flung a tater tot onto the baby’s high chair tray and then exclaimed “LOOK he caught it! Good boy, good boy!”.  Garrett is too busy devouring the potato lump to be offended by being treated like a dog.
