Watch-Some-Video Wednesday.

Primary Dentition...

... is in full swing.

And these are just the ones that have definitely poked through!
As you may imagine, we are suffering a teensy bit of discomfort related to this process, although you couldn't tell it from the pictures.
Hueston's just a little more clingy than usual during the day, but his sleep, which had been showing signs of improvement, has taken a few steps backward.
We hope he'll feel better soon, once these chompers have come all the way in.

Wordless Wednesday.

I'm Sixteen Months Old!

Hello? Lego Calling...



I can identify six of these cards!
Fire engine, green peas, dog, fish, cow, and elephant.

Mostly-Wordless Wednesday.

The universal sign for "Sing the 'Itsy-Bitsy Spider' song!"
(accompanied by "Eeeeeeeeeeeee...")

A Narrow Escape.

Well, my trusty toaster oven is no more.

This morning I put some bread in to toast, turned around to give Hueston some breakfast, and heard a sizzling sound. I turned back to see smoke pouring out of the toaster from all sides, and when I got closer, I saw there were actual flames!

I quickly turned it off, unplugged it, and pulled it into the sink. My huge container of baking soda was handy, so I opened the toaster door enough to throw a few cupfuls in, which smothered the fire.

No one was injured and no other appliances or belongings damaged in this incident. :)

Now Hueston and I are enjoying a breezy day inside, with all the windows open and all the fans going full speed ahead.

Big Haircut.

We finally did it!

DURING:


Hueston sure does love the hair dryer...

AFTER:

It's not a huge change, but it's definitely different.
You'll get plenty more opportunities to see it in days to come!

Wordless Wednesday.

Film Festival.

Outside.

Trying to lick an acorn before Mommy notices.

Evidence of the dire hair situation. :)
