Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer’s performance was amazing in Silver Lining’s Playbook, but it’s even more fun to see her personality here when she’s being herself… I’m loving her.

And this one too…

Game time

How do you entertain a 9 month old and a 22 month old at the same time? Some days are easier than others.

One night, Max sort of made up his own game. Or, is it more of a song with a backwards march? I don’t know for sure, but as you’ll see – it includes a running hug to me so hey, whatever it is – I like it!

Laughing babies

Remember when I posted a video of Max laughing at nothing.  And then there was the “yes, no, yes, no” laugh until you puke video.  Well I caught Sarah hanging out just sort of giggling to herself so I just had to video her.  I guess I surprised her because she just about tipped over at the beginning of this video.  Oh how I love a house with laughing babies in it.

Super Advertising

I didn’t watch the Superbowl. Am I the only person in America that didn’t? I took Max to a two year old birthday party in the early afternoon and watching the Superbowl just really wasn’t on the list of priorities.

We were invited to a couple of parties, but our babies need naps. Plus drinking a beer while holding a baby, somehow never tastes as good. Nor does it taste as good while paying a babysitter.

I did hate missing the commercials (and Beyonce). I’m just now getting around to watching the ones I heard were good. I would think the funny ads would be most appealing to me since that’s pretty much all I watch when it comes to TV shows and movies. But last year, it was Chrysler’s commercial with Clint that won me over and this year it’s Dodge’s “Farmer”.

I’m sure you and everyone else in the world has already seen it. I’m a bit behind. But even if you have, it’s worth watching again:

Bucket head

One of Max’s latest things is to put this little red bucket on and off Sarah’s head. If it falls off while it should be on, “Oh no!” he’ll exclaim, and quickly place it back on her head. It’s super cute and funny unless he first clumsily slams it into her face as he’s trying to put it on her. Or if the yellow handle gets wrapped around her chin as he tries to yank it off.

But I try to let them interact freely. As much as possible. And like we had to teach Max to be gentle with the dogs, we also have to remind Max not to slam books, toys and other miscellaneous objects on to her head.

It’s a toddler thing, right? We won’t still be dealing with this when they are teenagers? Or will we…
