Evolution of a Mother's Day Gift

First, take a picture of baby and mommy at the beach. A good one.



Next, send Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Matt to the sitter's house during the day, when mommy least expects it, to snap a few photos.






Then spend more time than you care to admit adding the sitter photos and the beach photo with some text, proving that most any idiot can use Photoshop.



Spend an obscenely long time at a local craft shop gluing mosaic tiles and grouting like you have any business being artistic...



Be sure and give Mr. Man all the credit...



And hope like heck the end result was worth all the trouble. Oh, and try not to look too surprised when it is.

Catching Up

I know, I know, I know. It's been forever. Let's move on, people. There are about 13 million new pictures of Buxton, which no doubt everyone enjoys more than my oft incoherent rambling. So here goes, beginning with a picture mommy took just this weekend.



This next one came a week or so ago at David's birthday party. Notice the tongue sticking out despite the pacifier being there. He's good at that.



Enter the game section. First event, Pull Off Daddy's Face.



Up next, restaurant checkers.



Finally, a picture from a recent trip to the beach because, if Harrison and Holden want to put it on our camera when we aren't watching, they clearly want it published for an internet audience.



Hopefully more to come soon (not the last one), so stay tuned. Just don't hold you're breath.

Longing for the Beach

Ok, so it's been quite a while since we updated anything. Probably best, given the past week here. Buxton's been sick. I don't remember the last day I showered. He's taken more baths than a clown in a dunking booth. Hasn't been a lot of fun.

So to lighten things up a bit, a video from two weeks ago and Buxton's first trip to the beach. I think it fair to say he enjoyed himself.

Buzzmaster B

So in the few months we've known our precious child, I've heard or uttered more than a few ideas as to what he might be when he grows up. Let the debate end here. Buxton's new talent makes it clear that he was born to be a hardcore rapper. So, without further delay from me, a sample of the first single laid down by your favorite powder-white rapper and mine, Buzzmaster B!!!

(You may have to turn the volume up for all its worth)

Tummy Time

Buxton has been spending a lot of time on his tummy since he is still learning to roll. Here are a few pictures from his tummy time today.

Dinnertime

Buxton had broccoli for the first time tonight. You can tell by the video that he did not like it. It's the first food he hasn't liked so far.

Picture Time

I hadn't downloaded any of our pictures since Christmas, so since today was a "Snow Day" I decided that it was time. Here are a few of my favorites.


Buxton eating oatmeal for the first time.

John and I could not stop laughing when the next several pictures took place.
