What you're missing by not having a video monitor!

Ok so I LOVE my baby monitor.  I was hesitant when Toby said he wanted a video monitor but I am so glad we got it.
 I am able to get to know Russell in a new way.  Like sometimes he likes to sleep on the floor.
 I would never have known how much he likes books.  His room is full of toys and he always chooses books.
 Because of the monitor I notices him sleeping by the door.
 This is my favorite.  When Toby helps Russell at night I can spy and fall in love with my boys
 Again with the books.  LOVE.
 He sleeps just like Toby.
He is a cuddler.  Even with the beach ball.
But also with Minnie (Mimmi is what he calls her.)
I have more but they are on Toby's phone so be prepared for part II.

Misc

Here are some pictures I though you might like of my favorite boy.
Our first drawing on the wall experience.  Notice the Vanna White pose.  He is saying tada.  I am so glad that I was able to remember this is a right of passage for a mom.  I then didn't get mad just made it a learning experience.  
He is getting hair.  FINALLY.
I LOVE that face.
He is praying with his scriptures.  Melts my heart.  Proof I am doing SOMETHING right.
Mr. Tough Guy.
This is how we keep him entertained at the midwife's house.
Time out can happen no matter where we are.  You have been warned.
Father like son.  LOVE this one.
Putting Granddad and dolly to bed.  Tucking them in.
Mr. Cool guy!!

Pinewood Derby

My calling in church is to work with the cub scouts.  I help with the Weblo's.  We had pinewood derby and I just spent the whole time chasing this little rugrat around.
So I didn't do anything for my calling but I was there and my kid didn't get in the way.  I see that as a success.
Russell had a great time playing with Ada (a neighbor friend).  They had so much fun!

Russell would yell "go car go"

Toby was out of town so this was a great distraction for both of us.
He loved watching those cars go down the track.

Russell and Ada roaring like bears.

No we didn't just have pinewood derby.  I am that behind.
