The Kitchen Cabinet and Birthday Kisses #TBT

It’s fun to use various ways to mark the growth of our kids, right? This Throwback Thursday (#TBT, for short), I have two; Avery’s obsession with climbing in one of our kitchen cabinets, and a birthday kiss from Mommy and Daddy.

I can’t remember the exact time she started to get into this particular cabinet, but the first post I could find is from March of this year. It was in How to Hide in the Kitchen where I found this pic.

And just the other day, still utilizing her crawl space with a blank stare….

The hair really marks her growth here, but so much more has changed. Attitude, being one of them.

Yeah, sometimes for the better, and, in this case, for the worse. Which brings me to the other #TBT picture; birthday kisses from Mommy and Daddy in her highchair.

Here she is taking our kisses with that signature blank stare as a one year old.

Ummm, dad, your nose is in my eye and both of you are in the way of my cake!

Even my pointy nose didn’t upset her then. But for birthday numero dos, she showed her true feelings.

My nose wasn’t even touching that time, geez!

Before I go, here’s one more kitchen comparison of our crazy girl. In August of 2014, she looked sweet and innocent hanging on to drawer handles.

You need something?

But now, screw the handles, she romps and stomps her way around the entire house, and even does ballet if she damn well pleases.

Growth, it never seizes to amaze me.

Happy Thursday!

Any big plans for the weekend?

Have any meals you can make now to get ready for Thanksgiving?

Our Baby Gives a Tour of the Kitchen

Hey there! How’s it going? Hope your weekend is off to a great start!

We are hanging at G-Ma’s house for a second night, and enjoying each other’s company as Avery keeps everyone entertained. Now that she’s crawling, things are definitely more interesting, and it’s hard to keep up with this girl! What happens when they start walking?

Maybe we should look into those leash and harness contraptions….

The other day, while I was in my home inside our home, the kitchen, Avery wanted to give a pictorial tour of our kitchen and dining area. I told her no at first, but then she turned on her super cuteness and I caved…

But don't you love me, Daddy?
But don’t you love me, Daddy?

And so the tour ensued. Enjoy!

Oh, hi there, welcome to our kitchen! As you can see, behind me is the fridge and freezer. It’s nice and silvery; perfect to see my fingerprints on!

And right here is the oven, where Daddy does his baking and roasts a lot of vegetables.

It’s also silv…..oh hey, look, I can see myself!

DSC_1439

Pretty cool, I can see other things too. So shiny….

DSC_1433

Huh? Oh yeah, the tour. Sorry, I love seeing myself.

And this right here, is one of our two bar stools for the island. Mommy sometimes holds me as she tries to eat, but I play a game called “grab everything and shake it while making your body go straight”. So far, I’m winning.

I also like to practice pulling myself up on it like this…

But I’ll save that for later, let’s move on to the dining room.

DSC_1450

Here is our dining room. This is where we sit down to eat at night and I…..oh, it’s Lou, our fat cat.

DSC_1451

Let me just go try and grab some of his hair out really fast.

DSC_1452

Nope, wait, stay right there, Lou.

DSC_1454

There you go, hold that tail still and I’ll be right there.

DSC_1456

Well crap, he didn’t listen.

DSC_1459

If I can just make it over this electric cord to Lou…

DSC_1462

Oh, and here we are back at the start. I guess Daddy didn’t want me giving any more of the tour.

DSC_1445

Thanks for visiting, that makes me happy. Until next time, hope you have a great weekend!
