The Machine

It should come as no shock that Rory LOVES to eat….look at him; he is one solid mass. He doesn’t just eat though, he inhales his food, and there are sound effects with every spoon; like the philharmonic presides around our dinner table every night.

Listen lady, we could sell tickets to let you watch this eating fiasco. Poor kid sits there, mouth agape, waiting until you shovel another spoonful in. The boy has been known to pull out a baby sized switchblade and cut you for hesitating too long on the next spoon.

I’m not sure he even tastes half the food we give to him. I could probably swap out his flavorful pears for mashed up brussel sprouts and the kid wouldn’t notice.

He is actually rather impressive in his take down skills. We refer to him as “the machine”. I do hope his eating continues to be so easy as there are many days we still struggle to get Cardin to eat. The two could not be more polar opposite.

The intent is to help decide on enrollment for next school year and get the recommendation of the teacher. Right now, […]

Toothy

Rory is 8 months old today and the other night we noticed his first tooth popping through. Immediately, I threw a steak in front of him and was all, “have at it you carnivore”. I’ll miss his toothless grin, but he showed no signs of teething; in fact, I was a bit surprised to hear […]

Bragging Rights

Brett and I have had a fierce competition going for approximately 8 months now. We have each been fighting, tooth and nail, to teach Rory to say our respective names. It got pretty Tonya Harding at one point. You see Internet, Brett’s reputation is a bit tarnished because Cardin said “momma” first and he was […]

Mini King Kong

Listen lady, remember when I told you Rory had started rolling. We were so excited. He was so close for so long and throwing the extra weight of the helmet didn’t help. Now, he is a machine; sailing a course of destruction. Rory’s helmet is made out of a firm styrofoam like material on the […]
