Babies make us laugh

We like to have fun with baby Christian.  Or rather, at his expense.  Which, I imagine, will continue at least until he starts reading this blog.  
 Here are a few things about Christian that make us laugh:

 Trying to figure out how he got upside down in this bouncer. (I guess they have a seatbelt for a reason.)

Comparing him to Eliza's Christmas present

Doing the hula in his sleep. 
(Or maybe casting a spell?)

Seeing him try to wriggle out of his clothes at nighttime.

Poor kid and his wardrobe malfunctions.  (Though this may look like a laughing face, I can assure you, it wasn't.  Especially when Mom went for the camera instead of freeing the poor kid.)

 Pretending to feed him sushi.

Draping him in dress up clothes.  (Credit to Eliza.)
Look! It's Crazy Hat Day for infants. (Eliza again, with a crown and wet wipe. Come to think of it, that crown is the one from the Rapunzel doll that was Eliza's Christmas present.)

Putting real, cute hats on him.  Even when we have no intention of going outside.

Watching him dance alongside Justin Bieber in a JibJab card.

Hiding treasure hunt clues on top of the sleeping baby (or really, doing anything loud in the sleeping baby's room is a favorite activity for older sisters).


Who needs TV when you've got a baby around?

Eliza for President

Eliza playing hangman.  I got hung on "polar bear."
In honor of President's Day this week, Eliza's kindergarten class wrote essays called "If I were President."

If I were President...
by Eliza, #20, 2-21-12

I would hep uth pepl. [other people]
And I would mak god chosis. [good choices]
And I would hep pepl get hoz. [houses]
And I would giv popel food and wodr. [water]

And I would be nis and I would kep erewun saf. [nice/keep everyone safe]
I would love my cn cre. [country]
I would mak bad pepl to lev ot uv the cancre. [leave out of the country]


Sounds like a pretty good platform to me.  So, let's all make good chosis, and vote for Eliza for president of our cn cre.
