Mommy, Boo-Boo!

This may sound gross but I must admit, one of my proudest moments today was when Mekhi greeted me kindly with these words.... "Mommy, boo-boo". And, sure enough there was a package waiting for me. Not at all what I was expecting to hear when I picked him up from the daycare but was very excited to hear that he's recognizing the poop on his bottom. Now, just need him to tell me BEFORE he poops!

KOOZA!

Cirque Du Soleil- Kooza

Mekhi LOVED Cirque Du Soleil! I took him to his first show called Kooza and it captured his attention for the entire 2 hours. I could tell he didn't care too much for the death-defying daring acts like the tight-rope artist that fell after his first attempt to hop over someone's head (it was like something out of a movie.. there was no net and he barely caught himself by grabbing the rope on his way down) but finally got it on the 3rd try. At that point, even I couldn't watch anymore but was relieved to see that they put a net up by the end of the act. As always, Mekhi quickly made friends with the vendors-- receiving free popcorn, milk and a keepsake ball. Check out Mekhi's reaction and pictures from the show. (click on the image above)

Thanksgiving 2008

Good times and sad times! Despite the loss of our beloved grandmother, confidant and friend, we all had something to be thankful for. I'm thankful for a healthy & happy baby boy... Mekhi. Check out pics of him hanging with the fam (literally 'til 6am), wrestling with his nana, and playing RockBand 2 at Game night with the cousins and much more.

Awwww

Here's a video of Mekhi chillin' with his cuz Zaire. He gives him a kiss (ok, several) but it's the cutest thing ever. (click on the image to view the video)

Down, But Not Out

I spent the weekend with either food poisoning or a stomach virus... not sure which but I hope to never, ever go through that again. Anyway, I wasn't to sick to catch Mekhi playing with a box a pads. He tore my room up, moving his toys from his room to mine but I was too sick to care and just laughed at the things he found entertaining.
