Chopstick Kid

I know that all mothers think think that their children are gifted but I know that mine is. We were eating Chinese food tonight and Demitri requested "sticks" instead of a fork.
Look at the chopstick skills that my kid has at 24 months and 3 weeks old.

Playing Tim

Our next door neighbor is Tim (he is prolly in his mid 80s) and he mows his lawn every Sunday and Monday. Sunday is the front yard and Monday is the backyard. Tim is one of Demitri's best friends. D talks about Tim all of the time. We were at the hardware store and Demitri found this hedger and wanted to play with it. Joe wanted to let him, we thought he would play with it the aisle for a second or two but he took it for a ride thru the whole store. Here is a little bit of the footage.


BTW, I think that the employees were very, very happy when we paid for our purchases and left. Demitri made quite a scene when we told him that he had to stop mowing.

I Love You Bim and Gracie!

Dear Auntie Bim, Uncle Petey and cousin Gracie,
Thanks so much for my pressie. You didnt have to send me a gift for my bday but I sure did love it. And how did you know that my #1 fav thing in the whole wide world (besides my mama) are firetrucks? I play with it all of the time and think of you when I do.
I love you guys,
Demitri

P.S. My mama says that you have to leave a comment when you see this so that she knows you saw it, k?

Yum....Cake!

Happy Birthday Demitri!

Nanma and I decided to take Demitri to the Aquarium for his birthday. Demitri had a fantastic time, especially since Daddy and Pa both took the day off of work to spend with him. Demitri loved all of the bright colored fish but his favorite thing to do was climb up a steep wall by the bird exhibit and jump into Pa's arms. We all had a great time and it was home to catch a quick nap before our birthday dinner with Kelly, Jeff and Ava.

My Little Boy Is Turning Two

My sweet little boy,
You will be two tomorrow. I can not believe how how my life has changed in the last two years. I am a better person because of you, I can't remember life without you and I cherish each and every moment that I spend with you. Thank you for being my pride and joy and helping me see the world in a new way.
I love you,
Mama.

6 days old1st Birthday Party

23 Months

Baby Giggles Are The Best

Demitri and Uncle Bob were playing a game involving a vase and some rocks. Demitri had a really good laugh attack and I was lucky enough to catch it on my camera. It makes me so happy to be able to sit back and watch somebody else be able to make him laugh the way that usually only Joe and I can make him laugh. My little boy is growing up.

Demitri's Date With Daddy

Bubbles In The Pool... Why Not?

The littlest things make a kid so happy. Mr. Bossyboots kept requesting "more bubbles" so thats what he got.

Playing With Food Is Fun

The Kid Cracks Me Up

Whenever we are getting ready to go somewhere I ask Demitri if he wants to bring something with us. He usually gets a car or a book, sometimes he brings his blanket. A lot of the times he will carry his goodies but sometimes he wants me to and will put them in my purse. I was getting ready to go out to dinner tonight when I found this little surprise in my purse

I Am Not Colorblind

Demitri picked his own outfit tonight and was very proud of himself. I tried to tell him that it did not match but he insisted on wearing it. As you can see in the picture, he wanted to tell anybody who would listen that he picked his clothes. Right at that moment he was telling Nana all about what he had done.

My Boys

The three of us went to the park after dinner and the sun was setting and I caught them looking at the sunset together. I think they look sweet together.

Sunday is Beachday

After I got off of work we headed to the beach. We all love our Sunday beach ritual and Demitri seems to be getting used to the water. The fog rolled in at the beach so we stopped at Nana's and went for a swim in her pool before going home. We had a great day!

23 Months Old

Here are some pictures from Demitri's 23 month photoshoot.

Helping Daddy At The Studio

Demitri and I went to visit Daddy at the studio and Demitri thought that Daddy needed a little help sweeping up. He is such a good little helper.

Demitri's New Ride

Nana bought Demitri this tricycle. He has been playing with it quite a bit but I have not been able to get a picture until now. His feet are now just reaching the pedals and he is finally understanding how to make it move although he still needs our help. P.S. Don't laugh at his hairstyle , it was really hot out.

No Nap + Dinner Out =

Nana and I took Demitri to Super Mex tonight. He fought so hard to keep his eyes open. He kept dozing off in between bites of food but he was just too tired and he passed out without finishing his dinner.

Mama's Favorite Book

This is a really sweet story but I love it for another reason. Whenever I read it to Demitri, I get showered in kisses. He is very generous with his smooches but I love how he is ready with them right on cue when the story calls for them. He is such a smartie pants ...just like you know who.

What We Are Watching

I turned on the tv a little early the other day for Sesame Street and there they were. The Teletubbies. My son's new obsession. He walks around the house saying TaTa and I know he means Teletubbies. These creatures scare me a little bit but they fascinate Demitri. Nothing has ever kept his attention like the Teletubbies do. He giggles and dances and even talks to the screen. He loves these guys. I think that the subliminal messages even got to me because I found myself buying a Teletubbies DVD at Toys R US. I wanted to put it back but it was cheap and I just couldn't. I guess I have fallen under the spell too.
