Sporty Boom

So part of the fun of having a kid is you can dress them up in your favorite sports apparel. I was thoroughly excited to put Bella in her recently acquired Jayhawks jersey for the game. I was so excited to watch the game but when 5:00 came around I discovered they were only showing it on ESPN U.......stupid U. So I took cute pictures instead. Thanks Tracy and Keegan for giving us the jersey, maybe I'll put it on her tonight.

So now the question is how far is too far. Eric and I are excited to buy Bella a toddler chair since she showed us her interest in one by actively climbing in and out of her new car seat on Sunday. I found this adorable pink dotted one from pottery barn

Eric found a Royals one.

Let's put it to a vote. Pink dots ( much more feminine) Or to hell with gender roles, go with the Royals. Vote above.

Phone manners...

S0 we've had a few milestones lately, the most exciting of which is that Bella is talking! She has several words in her vocabulary now, and she is also using them in the proper context. Just a minute ago, we three were working on her latest trick, saying "hi" when answering the phone. I just took a pretend phone call, and handed it to Bella to talk. I was trying to get her to say "hi," and she refused - instead she paused, opened my phone, and then said "hi." That's right, my daughter just basically told me she already knows more about electronics than I do, as in "silly dad, you have to open the phone first before saying 'hi!'"

Goodness she's a smart one! She also is learning "Booo!," and said "cracker" at daycare today, while pointing to some on the counter. Hopefully "Go royals" is next up...
