New talents.

Lots of new "talents"/hobbies this week! First, Anderson has figured out that the tongue talent turns him into a pretty cute lizard/snake (I am not sure what the towel is...). Thank you, Morgan, for the towel!!

This has become Anderson's cabinet. He loves it. I let him play with the tupperware & he is very talented at climbing in & pulling everything out-it's hilarious. There was a brief scare when we both spotted the grater at the same time, but everyone survived. Also, I realized who grates anything anyway? We only have one because it was fun to register for stuff when we got married. I probably thought I was going to cook. Precious.

He is also getting pretty talented at charming the ladies. We met Jessica for lunch last week & talked about school & her new classroom!! There are some lucky 7th graders who are going to learn from Ms. Mitchell!!

As for my new talent, I managed to snag a ticket to the football jamboree that allowed entrance into the Press Box, so I took Pops with me. He hung out in the air conditioning, ate & watched the game. I, clearly, was not in air conditioning.

Anderson has also learned how to read! Or, sit there for a teensy bit of a second while I try to teach him to sniff like SkippyJonJones. I'll take what I can get.

Brandon's talent is being hardcore; the SWAT team worked last week during some crazies' protest. You can't see him, but he is inside the car. truck? suv? Not sure, but it's pretty cool. Even more amazing is the fact that he helped arrest a guy (burglar? thief? "bad guy"?) who confessed to 63 crimes!!! Holy Cow. That is insane & I am so proud of him. I find it comical when people talk about their husbands "working" because I think sitting at a desk is kind of just sitting. It makes me so proud of Brandon who is so dedicated to his job & therefore helping people. Granted, I would like to see him a little more, but I guess behind every Superhero is a Superhero's wife waiting for him to come home from saving the world.

GG got him this fun new walking toy & he hasn't mastered the actual "walking" part, but he sure is talented playing with it!

He has definitely outgrown the whale tub. I am very sad about this. Apart from his crib & carseat, I think this is definitely where he spent a big chunk of the last 7 months. He is now big boying it in the tub. Let's be honest, I really probably should have put this up already but I didn't want to have to actually clean the real bathtub. I have also put up the changing pad thing & the bjorn. I really thought I was going to be carrying him to college in the bjorn, so this is big time.

I am pretty sure being addicted to free stuff is not a talent, but if it was I would totally place in the show. Nicole signed me up for Johnsons & Johnsons trial study thing & they sent me a bottle of body wash that I use, fill out a survey & I keep the wash & get $10!! Also, this same day in the mail I got an Ebates check (EBATES, people!!!) & my Publix baby club goodies. No, we don't have a Publix but Bham does & the coupons are basically free stuff!

This is a video of randomness over the last few weeks. It features lots of new talents.
