fathers day

i want to wish jeremy a happy first fathers day.  he is such a great father to desmond and  it is so awesome to see how much they adore each other.  i love you jeremy and am so grateful to have you as my partner in parenting.  i truly couldn't ask for a better husband, father, and best friend. 

so close

he is trying so hard to crawl.  he can get up on all fours but then it usually ends in a belly flop. i'm not pushing it too hard though.  he seems like a handful now.  once he crawls, i'll spend most of my day chasing after him.  

auntie em

this past weekend my sister emily came to visit.  it was so fun to have her here.  we didn't do anything major, just bummed around the city, ate good food and hung out with the dez.  she just left a few hours ago, but i miss her already.  

poor kid

yesterday my sister and i took desmond to our pool.  long story short; he wasn't so thrilled about it.  i think it was a number of things.  one, it was super bright outside and desmond hates that.  two, the water was kind of cold.  three, and probably the biggest problem of all was that i had layered a thick coat of sunblock on his face and he started to rub his eyes when we got out in the sun and rubbed all of that sunblock right into his eyes.  ouch.  he started to cry and well, that was the end of that.  we brought him back upstairs and gave him a popsicle to make him feel better.  poor little guy. 

*to all of you mothers.  how do you put sunblock on your kids face and not get it in their eyes?  

1, 2, 3.........

this is what it takes sometimes

heaven help brooke white

ok.  so i am going to admit that i watch american idol.  not even sure why, but i do.  i have to talk about something though.  brooke white.  oh the awkwardness.  she is pretty and has a decent voice but watching her sing, and even worse, dance, is painful.  a little less so when she is behind a piano or a guitar but then i get distracted by her slouching or concentrating so hard on not missing a chord it is uncomfortable too.  i really am not trying to be mean, but i just don't even know how she made it as far as she did.  i had forgotten about it until watching the finale. anyway, as i'm sure most of you are aware (even if you don't want to admit to it) the finale was last night.  all in all it was a bunch of really cheesy song and dance numbers with wash up stars.  george michael looked border line scary during his performance and it was strangely long and sad.  the one definite highlight was the "midnight train to georgia" performance by jack black, robert downey jr., and ben stiller (posted below).  truly funny.  i love jack black and ben stiller's facial expressions are amazing.  anyway, i'm not really surprised at the outcome.  david cook is more "rock star" and seems more marketable than david archaletta.  little archie can sing but he is still quite young.  so thats it.  until next year, when i'm sure i will watch it all over again.
