While watching this week's episode of The Mentalist... which isn't even the most embarrassing show we watch...(cough* Celebrity Apprentice cough*), I made a very important discovery.
It's funny. I feel like Denver is changing every day. I could probably write an entire blog post every day on all the new things he does and the new ways he makes us laugh. Maybe that's why I never seem to write any more? I'm too preoccupied with my son's cuteness and he's keeping me too busy. :)
Anyway, sorry for being so absent. Hopefully I'll get back to blogging more in the new year.
A few quick facts about the little (big) man...
15 months old
weighs 25 lbs (75th percentile)
32.5 inches tall (75th percentile)
favorite things to do with mom and dad:
be chased around the house and laugh hysterically
play peek-a-boo
help us take the trash outside to the bins
read books
watch Sesame Street
play in the backyard with Fable
favorite things to do while mom and dad aren't looking:
throw "trash" in the trashcan (aka valuable things like credit cards or jewelry or important receipts etc.)
climb onto EVERYTHING including the dining room table, kitchen table, our bed, out the doggie door....
take off his diaper and poop on the floor
empty out the kitchen cabinets, then put himself in the cabinets in place of the pots and pans
dump Fable's water bowl all over the kitchen. at least once a day.
have you heard the expression "gag me with a spoon"? well, he takes this quite literally. if i'm not paying enough attention to him, he takes one of the giant stirring spoons, and gags himself with it so that I'll look at him. it seems quite painful, but apparently it's worth it.
I thank God daily for taking better care of our son than I can. Because the little man is a walking tornado, and I can't keep up. Thank God that He can.
I'd say these two are much cuter than the original, wouldn't you? :)
Denver was certainly very popular at our church's Fall Fest last night. He wandered around, from booth to booth, like such a big boy. Many people commented on how independent he is becoming. I know they're right, and I'm not ready yet!
I'm glad that my independent boy still loves his mommy.
I decided to go ahead and blog about it anyway because I've had a number of people comment on the video and have been wondering how it was organized, and how they can be part of one in the future.
Allow me to enlighten you... :)
I had so much fun preparing for this event. A few women began organizing the Flash Mob months before the actual performance. They sent facebook messages to their friends and asked if anyone would be interested in participating. I said YES (duh), so I was placed in a TOP SECRET facebook group, where they posted details for the big performance. These women choreographed the routine, then filmed themselves teaching the dance in segments. Over the course of about a week, they posted the segments onto this facebook group, and we all learned the dance in the comfort of our own homes.
Then, the day before the Flash Mob, they revealed exactly where it was going to be, and which direction we needed to face... all those sorts of details. It was so easy and really fun.
If you live in Ft. Worth and want to be part of the next Flash Mob they plan, you can stay up to date with everything by "liking" their new page on facebook.
*At this rate, I'll post a video of Denver walking in about six months...
keeping Denver alive as he runs through the house, tumbling all over everything, trying to dive into toilets, sneaking out the doggie door, banging his head on every corner he can find, putting his hands in Fable's mouth and taking chomps out of toilet paper rolls
Things I've NOT been thinking about lately...

Can you forgive me? I'll try to post more videos and pictures in the coming months. :)
In the meantime, please check out our high-flying son!!*
