My Brown-Eyed Handsome Man (+1)

It's been a while since I posted last! If you're reading this I'm sure you've gotten the news already, but we're expecting baby #2 sometime in late November. Woo hoo! I'm currently experiencing the joys of all-day sickness. No throwing up, just feeling like I'm about to for most of the day.

Meanwhile, Beo's up to his usual shennanigans. We graduated him from the floor to his own little toddler bed, seen here: 

(Is there a bed under all those animals?)

He was also brave enough to approach another fireman, so he got a second fire hat to replace the one he stomped on. They're not very durable!

Pacifiers, known as Nuks in our household, have been phased out to bedtime and nap time only, although he did backslide during a massive ear infection that lasted about a month and three rounds of antibiotics. I try to limit him to one at a time, because he hordes them and tends to do things like this...

He's also discovered the stool my dad made for me is muuuuch better (that is, taller) than his own little step stools. He's quite willing to lug it all over the house. It's not QUITE tall enough to let him reach the kitchen faucet, but that's not much of a problem...

In between rain and overcast we're starting to see some nice sunny days again! It's good to get out in the yard with grandma and... paint the garage door?

Of course, there's always time for video games, Daddy, and Pengie. HUGS!

I've started asking Beo if I can take his picture. He usually says no. In the following case, I figured he'd lost his right of veto since I walked in on him sitting on top of the washing machine. This is a no-no, mainly because he has to climb the shoe rack to get up here.

We've also been trying to cook a bit with Beo. This requires the patience of a saint. Not only does he like to eat all the ingredients (including plain old flour), he delights in turning the lights off at inconvenient moments.

Anyone else starting to see a resemblance...?

Below is what happened when I attempted to make deviled eggs. They didn't last long. I think he ended up eating about 4 whole eggs. Beo was also dancing to Buddy Holly, although with Beo dancing usually turns into running in circles. Then, "Hold my hand while I run in circles and fly off the ground!"

And here is my current favorite photo of Beo. The glasses were part of a goodie bag from a wedding he ended up not attending with us. I bribed him with animal cookies to get him to put them on.
