Spinning

When Dougie is feeling silly, he spins. He loves to do it until he can't walk straight anymore. Frequently, he'll do it until he falls down. He's even gotten a bunch of his friends to do it with him. We only have him doing it alone on camera though.



Dizzy yet?

Dougie and the New Elmo

Stare down


Elmo said he was scared, he's making scared noises. Dougie is pretending to be scared too.

Dougie Kills Elmo

A few of you on Facebook have already seen this video but we had to share it with the rest of the world. Dougie received an Elmo Live for Valentine's Day. He loved it and played with it "normally" for a while. Then he discovered that if you knock Elmo down, he'll ask to get back up and then tell you that you're his best friend. Dougie played that game constantly until Elmo was injured. We just happened to get that moment on tape.



That Elmo has since been returned and replaced. We only play with the new Elmo in the padded playroom and we're not allowed to constantly bash him into the floor. This is for both Elmo's safety and Mum and Dad's sanity.

Next Liberace?

Dougie loves to play the piano and sing. It's a bit hard to hear him over the piano but we wanted to share his talent with you anyway. We're so proud - we're thinking of sending him on tour.



Do you think they'll let him headline in Vegas even if he isn't 21 yet?

How Domestic!

I know, we haven't blogged in a while but we're going to be changing that. I have some cute videos to share and some pictures. Today though, I have to share my new skill!

Our MOMS Club is helping a local charity called the Rainbow Room. They provide supplies to CPS workers to pass along to children in need. It's a great organization and I'm so excited that we're going to be helping out. One of the items they mentioned they needed were diaper bags. They sent along a pattern to make them. It looked easy enough and I own a sewing machine so, I gave it a whirl.

My first one isn't perfect, but it's not half bad either.







I plan to make a few more before our donation collection party. I would like to send some thanks out to my mother who taught me to sew (20+ years ago) and Jean (Scott's mother) who showed me how to thread my sewing machine and made sure I practiced until I got it right. :)
