taggs a big boy now

so there, M. when tagg was told that santa wouldnt come unless he was potty trained that was enough motivation for the BOTH of us. think of what that christmas morning would have looked like! so.... besides a couple of accidents (thanks to ME breaking the cardinal potty-training-rule: do not leave the house.... i get cabin fever just thinking about cabin fever. and no amount of potty training is going to cure me) tagg is pretty much diaper free. here comes santa claus!

happy thanksgiving

xoxo, tagg and his new best friend.

"OH MY GOSH. IT LOOKS LIKE CHRISTMAS!"

thats what tagg yelled out when he saw the snow this morning. i guess i know what makes tagg smile on command now. excuse his just-woke-up-slash-kinda-looks-paralyzed-face.

there is NOTHING like waking up to a surprise snow storm. why is snow so magical?

probably because it only happens about twice a year here and never becomes a big problem. i guess thats why its so exciting in seattle.

sully, all snugly on my bed after his favorite time of day, bath time!

tagg cannot stop eating the snow. craig told him it was water flavored ice cream and now he cant get enough. happy winter!

short but sweet

i did not think it was possible for another human being to want as much attention as tagg does. i was wrong. those two are clones.

sully doesnt know if he should cry of laugh. tagg can do that to a person. tagg's version of rudolph the red nosed reindeer is too cute: rudolph for yoooouuu. rudolph for yoooou.

ps. please dont judge tagg and his dang diaper (i do enough of that every day). we are working on it and tagg has been informed that santa wont come unless he is in big boy underwear. and pointers?

love me some autumn

my baby.

a little update. sully is a very good baby. he is fourteen pounds now. i know this because we paid a visit to CHILDRENS ER HOSPITAL last saturday nite because he had a fever of 102.5! (long story short: he had a pretty decent fever for three+ days. blood work came back ok so we assume it was just a bug) he sleeps thru the nite now (thanks to a little formula nite cap) and LOVES watching tagg play. serisouly, his little eyes follow tagg all around the room. he is either thinking "oh crap. what am i in for?" or "YES. i cannot wait to get in on that action."

riding the bus

craig has been riding the bus down to UW for over four years now. a couple months ago, he took tagg for a ride on it. now thats all tagg cares about. "i want to go on the bus at nite with dad!" so last nite, the four of us piled in the car, drove three minutes to the park & ride and dropped craig and tagg off so they could ride the bus ONE stop over to target. tagg was in heaven. craig said that when the bus started going tagg yelled, "HEEEEERE WE GO!" ahhh. the simple pleasures in life.
