Lily Can Skate

Greetings ***Random internet viewer:  61345***

In keeping with the very recent theme of mine where, I show my daughter do amazing things, I have now  even completely blown my own mind. My daughter, less than 18 months at the time of this writing, has taken to roller skates rather quickly (as evidenced by this wonderful video).



I know what you're thinking, "so what! She's got those toddler skates on, they're probably locked out and she's walking!" You are correct in that statement, random Internet viewer you, however, those skates also have a rather impressive ability to unlock the wheels. Those wheels, by the way, are pretty loose and you can get pretty fast in them.

Cut to the video, BAM!!!! she's got the wheels, unlocked, ready to rock, and she's rolling like she came out skating.

Be amazed, be very amazed.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: My daughter did, in fact, not come out skating...just saying ;

Taking Care of the Little Girl

The aftermath of a 100 degree temperature on the little one. She was obviously looking and feeling crummy and so when we got done with dinner I decided that we should chill out in my room and watch Star Trek and hopefully she would feel better. So apparently being sick and watching Star Trek means instant sleepy time for the baby, nothing a warm bath and a bed time story wont fix.

Daughter dances to "Gangnam Style"

I thought I should place this here, frankly, because my daughter is hilarious.

A little back story:

we were dancing to some music in our living room (where she obviously plays with all of her toys), and when ever I tried to video her dancing to the music I was listening to she would want to play with the phone. It was at that moment I was like, "hey! the computer has a web cam on it!" and this video was made. I, however, did not separate the music play back from the video recording so the sound sucks. There is also a section of he video where she decided she wanted to be curious about the video recording and gradually worked her way up to the couch to watch her self...watching herself...and do a little bit more dancing.

Once again, hilarious.

Anniversary for this tech guy.

Well, it would seem that today is the day that, not only am I thankful for my wife (which I am everyday), but also the day in which we celebrate our anniversary. Now since I'll reminisce about that day, you'll have to excuse me if there are no pictures of the events to which I'll describe, I'm just making up the pictures as I go along.

 Two years ago today we were married, and if you're doing the math on how old my child is...well...then you can probably figure out just how quickly we went from: "married on our own" to "married and expecting" if you can't figure it out...well then YOU need to go back to health class.

Here's a hint

All kinds of memories are fresh in my mind (and they should be, it was only 2 years ago): Bachelor party, the heavy drinking, the broken furnace. 

Oh yeah, the broken furnace.

So funny thing. I woke up at around 7 am that day, not because I was nervous, but because my house was colder than Hilary Clinton on a hot day (read: frost on windows). During the night my furnace decided to take a shit and die...well...die is such a harsh word...more like refused to work.

it was an old furnace

One thing leads to another, and before you know it, my house is mind numbingly cold. The whole party is now all trying to get dressed in our tuxedos and attempt to fix my furnace by telling it just how much we loved it and would cherish it forever. Not really, we gutted it and disassembled it on the floor and passed the pieces to each member of the groomsmen who were then scrubbing each and every piece until it shined. Meanwhile me and my friend are now elbow deep in the furnace (possibly inhaling the gas, not sure) seeing what else we can take out before we decide to put it back together again.

It goes red, red, blue, orange, blue, army-man-lodged-in-pipe, right?

After about 3 hours of on and off cleaning and rubik-tetris style assembly we had the whole thing fixed. All that was left was to let the furnace run (and burn up at least 100 dollars to heat the house back up) and get to the ceremony's location, oh, and feverishly brush off all of the dust and soot from our tuxes without looking like we were dusting off the soot and dust...because if my wife found out...crap she just did...she WILL most likely kill / maim me with interest up to today.

So if you're in the neighborhood, I'm probably in traction right now while me and the wife look back on all of the pictures we had taken of that day.

Seriously, help, my wife is.........

oh, hey...never mind.

The short of it is, this day is the best, and I thank the maker for everyday that I have with my wife. Now if you'll excuse me I have to schedule my Anniversary Dinner around Thanksgiving Dinner (becacuse if I fill her up on Turkey then my dinner will be cheaper...just kidding...I love you Christina please don't hurt me)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CHRISTINA EMMERT!!!

Fifteen month old knows animal noises

Well, if my daughter isn't the cutest thing ever, even though she's just fifteen months she already knows animals and their noises. Unfortunately the only one I was able to "voluntarily" get her to do was the pig noise, after that she realized I was videoing her and got shy. Regardless of the end result, it's hard to not be amazed at what this little girl can do.

Enjoy
