Shootin' Hoops

He's a Natural

 

 

I have found various items in the hoop including:

Legos (see above), match box cars, and stuffed animals.

Chicken & Ketchup

I like how in this video you can see The Dude dip his chicken nugget in the ketchup and then slide it away from the pile of ketchup.  Is he trying to get some of the ketchup off the nugget?  Is he just having fun?  Is he making modern art?  You be the judge.



 

 

Zoo....in the Winter

Owen & I took a trip to the zoo a week or so ago.  The Milwaukee Zoo has several different buildings to walk through so the fact that it is January was not too big of a concern. 

Owen is liking the zoo more and more, and I imagine that he will only become more engaged to the experience.

Ranch

The Dude is a "dipper". 

It seems like it doesn't matter what he dips his food into.....if he can dip....he likes it. 

If he is being a little picky with his food.....put a little glob of ketchup....or ranch on his plate.  He loves to dip his food into a condiment and then eat it like he never had a problem 2 minutes prior. 

Here are some good pics of Owen discovering his love of ranch dressing.

He loves to look at what is baking in the oven

 

 

Playing with his personal nativity scene

 

 

Owen pushed his chair from the sunken living room and placed it right there

so he could sit and watch his dad cook some breakfast.  Love this pic!
