This is a post from Presidents’ Day last year. I love looking back to see how much our little girl has changed, so I figured I’d share.
Happy Presidents’ Day! I’ve never done much for the holiday, but having a day off from school and work (for some) meant I never had a problem when it rolled around. So, happy birthday, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln!
As a stay-at-home dad, I obviously don’t have “off” in the work and school sense, but I do get to have Going Mom home with me for an extra day. Our beautiful Texas weather has subsided temporarily so going outdoors is not that appealing, but hopefully we’ll have a good time together with Avery.
Ever since she won the Metroplex Baby and Kids weekly photo contest, Avery seems a little more confident when we take her picture. And recently, she struck several poses in one photo shoot that I’m going to share with you now. You’re welcome.
I’m not so sure I’m ready to do this photo shoot.
Okay, starting to feel a little better in my ability to exude ultimate cuteness.
Hey, wanna see something cool?
It’s my tongue! Ahhhhhhh! Cool, huh?
Oh geez, I just froze up again! Where did my confidence go?!
Oh, oh, I know what I can try. Ready, annnnnndddddd……
IIIIIIIIIII ammmmmm theeeee youngggg-est opppperrrrrraaaa singerrrrrrr alive!
No? Not good? Yeah, I wasn’t feeling it either, forget that happened. I need a prop.
This will be perfect. Back to the couch for background. But first, how’s this “catching me off-guard” pose?
Ooooo, look, lights! Oh yeah, to the couch….
Hey look! I’m half baby, half ball! I can see this going somewhere. Like across the kitchen, that is.
Here goes nothing, lets get “rolling”. Ha ha, pun very intended. Proud, dad?
Whoo hooo, I’m having a “ball”! And I’m 2 for 2 with puns, must be the atmo-“shpere”. Boom, again!
Back to business, moving this ball across the floor for no apparent reason other than I can.
Accomplished! And now, for the final act that will have companies fighting for me to make an appearance. I’m going to pounce on the ball!
Wait, doesn’t count, my foot slipped! Redo!!
Happy Birthday to all presidents, dead or alive, thanks for all that you do…..kinda.
