Whoop-see-daisy!

OK, I'm bombarding you. I'm sorry.  But, really, there's only two of you, so I'm not that sorry.

Anyhow.  I just found this series of photos that Josh took of Sidekick while I was gone last week, and they're so cute.  I just HAD to post them.

Sidenote: Since the photos below were taken, Sidekick received a VERY needed haircut.

 Check me out!

Whoa... 

Oh man... goin' down.... this is gonna hurt.

 Hmm.  Well that wasn't so bad.  

Just Cruisin

So, for Christmas little mister Sidekick got a walker.  He's been staying out past curfew and picking up women ever since... just kidding!  He has; however, been LOVING the wind blowing through his hair as he jets from room to room.  He thinks he's a rather big guy.

Today, he ventured into the bathroom.  Hysterical.  He's been trying to get in there for weeks now, but hasn't quite been able to maneuver it just quite perfectly enough to get through the door.  He's managed to get into the laundry room - so far, that's his favorite place.

But... Today was the day.

Hello Bathroom.... hello ducky.  I see you.

"Oh Hey Mom... Can you see my ducky.  He's just there... on the other side."

 Just a man and his thoughts.  

Only thing missing.... reading material.

After a few moments of reflection, I helped him scoot out of the bathroom.  For a little persuasion, I lured
him with the oh so lovely blankie...

Oh... gasp. Be still my heart.  That is just precious.  I'm going to snuggle with my blankie now.

Getting back on track...

OK, so it's been too long since I've paid any attention to this poor little blog.  I know I've said it before, but this is serious neglect.  I'm pretty sure my two readers have completely given up on me.

So, let me just tell you how 2011 has been to us and WHY I've been absent:
Week 1 - Sidekick get's the lovely Hand-foot-mouth disease.
Week 2 - I get it while working 10-12 hour days. (PS - adults don't usually get this - lucky me!)
Week 3 - I get some horrid form of sickness that gives me a fever, sore throat, cough, etc.  Josh gets it too.  Sidekick hangs in, but gets a little snotty nose, etc.
Week 4 - I get a sinus infection and nasty cough.
Week 5 - Josh gets sick & Sidekick gets a nasty, chunky cough & cold.
Week 6 - Sidekick has double ear-infection, RSV ... AND gets both top front teeth = mommy gets NO sleep.
Week 7 - Josh is sick again, Sidekick is hanging in there...

WEEK 8 - PLEASE BE KIND TO US!!!  PLEEEEEASE!!!
