Storytime

Ellie and Gideon are reading a touch and feel book from a sweet friend of ours, Brooke.  Her family is just finishing up their homestudy for a domestic adoption.  They were moved to adopt the same time we were.  But – they don’t have a blog, or I would tell you to go meet them. 

Gideon was more interested in feeling the pictures of the baby feet in this book than the texture pages.  I like that the baby feet were mixed skin tones.  Those things used to go right over my head.   Not because I didn’t think it was important or didn’t care, I was just clueless.

I’ve also started noticing the tongue sticking out more.  Ellie must be concentrating pretty hard.

It’s funny the comments about the tongue sticking out.  I’ve read so many blogs about Ethiopian babies and their tongues.  I think Missy blogged about it right when he started doing it, so I had to share his silly pictures, too.  It cracks me up!

Our Entertainment

Who needs television?  With 5 kids, we have all the entertainment we could stand around our house.  Our latest source comes from Gideon’s discovery of his tongue. 

What makes it even funnier, is that he doesn’t even know why we’re laughing.  He looks you right in the eye and gives you a serious look while he tries to touch his tongue to his nose.

I can’t stop laughing as I think…What if adults could get away with this stuff?  What if your boss was talking to you about a big project and you just started sticking your tongue out as far as you could?

Where’s the line when this stuff becomes disrespectful?

The things babies get away with.

Love This!
