You and Your Dad....

Reme: Although this picture was taken at Snowbird a few days ago, I have been speculating on the bond you and your Dad seem to have. You adore each other. You always know when he is supposed to be home...well, today he was 30 minutes late and right at his normal homecoming time you started calling for him. It is pretty cute to hear you say: "da-da-da-da-da" and then squeal with delight when he walks through the door. Daddy and I are appreciative every day of the blessing that is you...it is amazing you chose us as your parents and we will do everything we can to be good parents -- give guidance, help you grow and meet the challenges that each stage of life brings, give you a stable and fun life.

We love you dearly!

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie (and Daddy).

Waiting for Lunch...

Pictures Bottom to Top: "Trying to be Patient," "I'm Huuungry!"~~~Reme at 6 Months and 3 1/2 weeks.

Reme: So far as we incorporate solid foods into your diet you are not a picky eater. Your favorites are squash, green beans, and pears. You are not keen on peaches or rice cereal, but you will eat them.

This week (10-10-10 through 10-16-10) you've tried prunes, mangoes, the stage 1 ham dinner by Gerber, and the disolvable sweet potato puffs. You have tolerated everything very well.

It has been fun to watch you eat different things...with some things (peaches) you make a cute face at the first bite and then keep trying it out. That is awesome and how I hope you will always be. Trying out new things adds "spice" to life!

Watching you grow, my heart is overwhelmed with the love I have for you.

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.

Dear Little Him: These pictures seem to show off your cute little personality... you love music and movement. These photos were taken at the 6 Month and 3 week mark. You were jammin' to the Bee Gees! I am so glad you enjoy their music with Mom; and I am so glad you have joy. I hope that you will always have a life that manifest the joy within...

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.

Oktoberfest, 10-10-10...

The Monster In The Mirror -- a song sung by Grover of the Sesame Street Muppets --

"Grover: Saw a monster in my mirror when I woke today
A monster in my mirror, but I did not run away.
I did not shed a tear or hide beneath my bed,
Though the monster looked at me and this is what he said:
He said, "Wubba, wubba, wubba, wubba, woo woo woo
Wubba, wubba, wubba, and a doodly-doo."

He sang, "Wubba, wubba, wubba", so I sang it too:
"Do not wubba me, or I will wubba you."

Monsters: Do not wubba me, or I will wubba you.

Grover: Told the monster in the mirror, "No, I am not scared."
Then I smiled at him and thanked him for the song that we had shared
Well, the monster thanked me too, he smiled right back and then
The monster in the mirror sang this song again:

He went "Wubba, wubba, wubba" and I sang along
'Cause "Wubba, wubba, wubba" is a monster song.

Monsters: Wubba, wubba, wubba is a monster song.


Grover: He sang "Wubba, wubba, wubba" and I sang along
'Cause "Wubba, wubba, wubba" is a monster song.

Monsters: Wubba, wubba, wubba is a monster song.

Grover: If your mirror has a monster in it, do not shout
This kind of situation does not call for freaking out
And do nothing that you would not like to see him do
'Cause that monster in the mirror, he just might be you!


"Wubba, wubba, wubba", you can join in too
Yes, if you wubba me then I will wubba you.

Monsters: If you wubba me then I will wubba you.

Grover: Going "Wubba, wubba, wubba" is the thing to do.

Grover and monsters: Every time you wubba us, we wubba you.

Unidentified monster: (spoken) Me wubba you."

Performed by Frank Oz (the voice of Grover). Song written by Jim Henson, et al.

Little Him, you and I are currently obsessed with the song above! We just LOVE it!!! Since Halloween is when the monsters, ghosts, witches, vampires, and ghouls come out I thought it was appropriate to post the song and dress you up in your Halloween shirt that says: "Daddy's little monster." You are not a monster at all, but a wonderful, fun, curious, vivacious boy. You are a dare-devil! You like to hang upside down off the couch. I don't know what I will do when you are walking and moving without my assistance because when you hang off the couch I get a mini heart-attack...nonetheless, your fearlessness teaches me that one should face the world at large "head on." Despite my fear(s), I am sure I will need to be prepared for cuts, scratches and scrapes, but since you are still my 6 Month old, I am not bracing myself just yet.

Out of all of the photos in this series, my favorite is the one where you are sticking out your tongue -- it seems that you are defying danger...giving raspberries as if to say "So what if I AM Daddy's little monster?" I just love that you are confidant like that!!!

Son, you are truly a delight and you definitly light up my life!

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.

First Road Trip: Burley, Idaho or Bust!

Pictures Bottom to Top: "Reme in Car Seat Going Towards Idaho," "Mommie and Reme as we enter Idaho," "Daddy and Reme at the Idaho Sign," "Reme's First Pool Adventure."~~~Dear Reme, on October 3, 2010, you experienced your very first road-trip and your first pool adventure! You, Daddy, and Mommie went to visit your Sister's and your Niece's. We all met in Burley, Idaho at Perkins restaurant to catch up. You were a gem! You tolerated the 3 hour drive very well, only getting fussy for about 5 minutes because you were in need of a nap. At Perkins you had a hearty appetite and ate your lunch in its entirety (squash and green beans). After lunch, we decided to play in the pool at the hotel. You enjoyed the water until the motions and bobbing started to lull you to sleep...after which, you curled up with Mom and took a nap while your Niece's played and splashed. The pool was one of the highlights of our visit....

You have very wonderful and special Sister's in Collette and Jackie; and, I hope that you will talk to them and listen to what they have to say as they guide you on your life path. They are very wise and have done everything right to ensure that their lives have focus and balance. I feel you can learn from their wisdom -- gain an understanding of how to "live your best life."

Reme, your journey on this Earth is special and you have the power to make your life amazing. Have faith and confidence that you have many who love you and will help you reach your goals....

Stephanie and Aryana, your Niece's, are vibrant, passionate, wonderful girls...I know you and they will always have fun and laughter, brilliance in every form; and, I hope the three of you, despite your age differences, will always have playful spirits with a zest for life. The energy that the three of you have when you are together is pure magic!!!

October 3, 2010 was a day of merriment! I am soo glad you got to experience this day. There is nothing better than carousing with those you love.

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.

Faster Than a Speeding Bullet...

Dear Remington, these pictures were taken on September 18, 2010...the first day of your 6th month. Like Super Man, you have Super Powers...to grow that is! You grew so much that this outfit, which had never been worn before, didn't fit...it was a 3-6 months outfit in sizing. I am pleased that you are thriving. I hope you continue to grow in positive ways!

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
