The V Show

V is at "that" stage. If you're a parent, you know what I mean. If you're not, allow me to explain: She does what she wants and doesn't do what she doesn't want. The interesting thing is that, as a parent, you think it's cute at first. You're just excited that she's doing something different than she's been doing for the past 9 months. The first time that she spits her food back out after you feed her you think it's hilarious! In fact, you shove more food back in there and hope she does it again so you can get it on camera.

So after the eleventy-second time she does it, you're tired of it. Needless to say, you have to curb the smiles that you sometimes have when she looks at you like "What? I'm so cute, I can do whatever I want!" You think it's tough to do for you? After you look at these pictures, you'll know why we're having trouble with smiling when we shouldn't be.

We're starting a new segment here at the ole blog. Today we introduce V's newest adventure into celebrity stardom as the host of her own talk show:

V: So welcome to The V Show, I'm your host... V.

V: First, off I want to show you my bottom teeth. That was the bestest ever! Now let's go to the Party-Cam.

V: Yo that party was so AWESOME I need an ottoman to lean on!

V: Hey man get that camera outta my face man!

V: Ha, I'm just kidding! I'm not really wasted!

V: The Party-Cam is great! Now there's just time for my "I'm the cutest ever" pose and I'll see you next time on The V Show!

More Christmas

It's 2011 and that means that V turns one in 4 three months! I guess that means that you get tons more pictures and updated shenanigans in the world of her getting into dog & cat food, electric sockets and whatever ends up on the floor. Fortunately, she hasn't completely injured herself yet. When she does cry, all she needs is a kiss from mom or dad and everything's aight.

Like promised, here's some more Christmas pictures. We've already told her there's no Santa so you'll notice that she's pretty melancholy about the whole present thing. Enjoy the WACKY FUN:

It's Christmas Eve and we tried to open a present but instead she ate the paper.

Then she got that weird look in her eyes...

IT'S THE CAMERA EATING MONSTER! RUN!!!

It's Christmas! We tell her she can choose any present under the tree.

But we tricked her and gave her the same one from yesterday.

Curses, she's tricked us! IT'S THE CAMERA EATING MONSTER! RUN AGAIN!!!

We Need Counseling

Aight, it's been a month, YEAH A MONTH since we've put a blog post up. No excuses though as we rage forward into 2011. You don't have to be reminded that working at Target during the month of December is a new level of insanity that most of you will never experience. We actually did take some pictures over the Christmas season so that we could capture the memories of V's first Christmas. You will notice that she's enraptured by her presents in the pictures below. Unwrapping presents is something she's definitely not enraptured with.

Here's the gig: We decided to only get V one or two things for her since she has no idea what's going on and can't unwrap a present to save her life. We figured she might get a couple things from her grandparents and some family. We also thought that these people would give us a freakin break and buy non noise making toys were sane. Anyway, she made out like a wild bandit and we have no clue where to store all these things so we had to buy a shed. It's all good because now I have somewhere to store my homebrew supplies.

So enjoy these pictures and now that the worst of the retail industry is over, please be patient as more posts are coming sooner than later:

Let's take a ride around the house while Mom is gone!

It took 8 hours to pry V out of Grandmas hands.

This was our Christmas breakfast: Waffles with raspberries, whipped cream and shaved orange spice truffles. AW YEAH BOY!

Here's V in her brand new Christmas dress!

 

We love our Christmas present!

Hottest. Woman. Ever. (maybe... we'll see how V looks in 20 years...)
