AGE 13 AND A BIT MONTHS

WILLIAM GOWAN

• wakes up every 60-90 minutes at night (wins worst sleeper prize)
• eats dog food for breakfast
• tips Kirby's water bowl over several times a day (the dog has resorted to toilet water or going next door to YaYa's for refreshment)
• nicknamed "destructo" by the other family members
• throws food across the room/restaurant
• throws toys down the stairs
• pulls out fist fulls of hair (human and dog)
• can say "hot" but not "mama"
• does acrobatics while nursing (not a pretty sight)
• dumps fruit shake onto the carpet
• smears yoghurt into the couch
• crams things into my mouth when I'm least expecting it
• hits me on the head with hard items like tinkertoys and forks
• can do a backward somersault while getting a diaper change (very impressive)
• sucks on batteries
• sucks on marbles
• rides Kirby bare back
• arches back when I try to put down on the floor
• empties cupboards and drawers (and bottles of glitter and baby powder)
• erases files on Daddy's laptop
• goobers up cell phone and then hides it (yes...I found my cell phone far under the couch 5 weeks later)

But look those eyes...that face...those chubby arms and legs! It is impossible to hold a grudge.  

(This post is also an excuse to try out some of the vintage frames I just downloaded from this great site. They also offer free tutorials, photoshop actions, textures and papers, etc.)
