Moving Mini Man

Oh Sweet Baby Ty......Where do I begin with how you amuse me. I am well aware that I was the one who was PRAYING day and night for you to walk. Now that you are, nothing is out of your reach. You can stand and climb with the best of them and you constantly keep me on my toes. Although all of these pictures are not from one day, they DO typically happen multiple times in a day. Who needs a gym membership when you have a Mini Man to keep you busy? That being said, I am still enjoying the walking stage much more than the crawling stage. I LOVE to see the look of accomplishment and pure joy when you scale that little table and stand atop of it with your hands up high. As well as the squeals of delight as you splash the toilet water around (OK this one is the least pleasing, but the smile on your face when you get caught makes me focus less on how grossed out I am). So here are a few things we encounter on a day to day basis. 

 1. Digging through the garbage. You never know what great things Mom may have put in there so I need to inspect it daily and pull out the things I think are important, such as banana peels and dirty napkins.

 2. Checking the cords to all the electronics. Dad thinks he knows what he's doing, but every time I check it I find a few cords that I think should be pulled out and moved.

 3. Climbing on the fireplace. This really is done just so the attention is on me and everyone can see how darn cute I am.

 4. Daddy is trying to tell me something about this being dangerous, but I am pretty sure he doesn't really mean that I should stop doing it.

5.Climbing on the table. Some day I will be a very important person so I want to practice giving speeches to all the people who will listen.

 6. Climbing on the dishwasher. Mom thought she could outsmart me by putting the clean dishes on the counter while she put them away. Silly mommy, all I have do to is use the door as my step stool when your back is turned.

 7. Talk my good friend Lauren into letting me take her for a ride in my hippo. Some day I will have my own car and she and I can go cruising.

 8. Stealing mom's IPod. Mom thinks she's the only one who likes music. Well, after many attempts I have finally figured out how to get her IPod out of her radio dock and now I can just take it around the house whenever I want to jam to some good tunes.

 9. Eating while bathing. Some days I am just so busy I have to multitask. Why not get clean and get some vitamins all at once.

10. Splashing as much water on the floor as possible. Both my brother and I LOVE to take bathes. Myles, however, never tried to splash like I do. He just sat in the tub and played with his toys. I taught him that splashing as hard as possible is fun too. Now mom has enough water on her floors when we get done with out bath to wash the floors. We like to be helpful like that.

And there you have it....These are just a few of my favorite things to do in a day. Now sit back and enjoy the fact that you probably just read this entire post and did not have to get up once to pull a Mini Man out of the garbage or down from the fireplace. Oh how I will miss this some day.  :-)
