Bear Down!

I love the Chicago Bears.

I love football season and all the hoopla that comes with it.  

Our family gets so excited about football we plan each game as if it is our last, starting early in the morning on football Sunday's (usually with Bloody Mary's and Hot Eggs...yum).  We take turns watching the game at each others house, and no Bears game is complete without enough food and drink to feed an army.

Over the past few years we have accumulated quite a bit of Bears paraphernalia.  The kids both have their own jersey's.  Starchy and I have t-shirts and sweatshirts.  Basically, any given Sunday in the fall, you will find our family in head-to-toe orange, white and navy.

A couple of days ago, The Drooler  had saturated the bib his mum and dad sent him with, so I lent him one of ours.

It happened to be a Chicago Bears bib.

His mum chuckled to herself when she picked him up and said to The Drooler "I don't think your Daddy is going to like that bib".

This is what he came to daycare wearing the NEXT day.  

So, The Drooler's dad is a Steeler's fan and I know Peanut's mom is a Packer's fan.  This is going to make for a fun football season this year!  GO BEARS!

I have been having fun learning about, and toying with my camera lately.  I am very new to photography, but am noticing a drastic improvement in the quality of my photo's when I set the right lighting.  

Since The Drooler woke up an hour ahead of the rest of the crew yesterday, we did an impromptu photo shoot.  Its easy to take good shots when you have such a willing model!

Enjoy, (especially my cronies in the UK)!

For My UK Peeps!

Here are some photo's of your beloved Drooler!  His mum and dad are doing such a wonderful job with him.  He is just the sweetest thing in the world.  I have been working with him on crawling and today we practiced getting on our knees.  See for yourself...

At this point I got him set up and he looked at me as if to say "What do you think your doing?".

But after cooing at him and repeating "Who's a big boy?" in my baby talk voice, I got this grin out of him!

He started to set his sights on a toy just ahead of him.  Such determination in his face!

I think at this point he was wondering how to get out of the predicament that I put him in! 

He has been extra drooley (is drooley a word?) these past few days at daycare.  At least he is living up to his name! :)

For My Homies in the UK!

The Drooler's mum (see how I did that, I wrote it British like) is from England.  She is totally cool and does a wonderful job raising her little man (along with dad!).  She told me that her mum (see...British again) who lives in the UK was checking out the blog from time to time.  

So, for Drooler's grandma, and the rest of his family abroad, here are some pictures from his time spent here at Homebase...
