Red-Hot and Blue-tiful: #MySundayPhoto – 07.26.15

My wife was out in our backyard with Avery following her every move the other day and both were keeping quite busy. It was hot, as usual, but it didn’t seem to slow our little busy toddler down a bit. Kelley brought the camera outside to snap a few shots and ended up capturing this close-up of her red-hot cheeks and beautiful blue eyes.

Another job well done by my wife for getting such a great shot. Maybe I’m a biased parent, okay, I am (aren’t we all?), but her stare goes right through you. Not in a scary “I’m going to haunt you.” kind of way, but more of a “Hi, I’m cute, will you play with me?” way.

I love her deep stare photos, and it never gets old staring right back into her vibrant blue eyes.

Does your kid’s face turn bright red after playing outside?

Do you have a favorite “deep stare” photo of your kids?

Stare From The Chair: #MySundayPhoto – 07.19.15

Avery’s adventuresome curiosity has led her to enjoying a good book in a big chair lately. She climbs anything and everything in our house now, and this chair just seems to suit her tastes.

Credit my wonderful wife, Going Mom, for the great shot of our daughter. She also did the spectacular hair-styling you see. I have yet to give it a try, but fear not, I will be a ponytail making pro soon enough!

Do your kids have a favorite reading spot?

What’s better, hair with or without ties/bands/ribbons/bows?

Acting and Reading “The Bear Snores On”

The Bear Snores On” is one of our favorite books to read right now. Avery loves reading it at bedtime, nap time, and any time really. One day I acted out the story as Going Mom read aloud and Avery got a kick out of it.

This video doesn’t do the original act justice since she is concerned about looking at herself on camera, but at least I look cool trying to show off my acting skills, or lack thereof.

I’ll just go ahead and apologize for having to watch me in full corny dad mode in the background. Hopefully I didn’t turn you off from the book, it truly is fun to read with your kids. Acting is optional.

We have family visiting from Pennsylvania and today we’re all going to a local brewery, Revolver, about an hour from our house. We’ve had the beer before and it’s great, but never visited the brewery, which I imagine is even better!

With my aunt, uncle, and grandma down to spend time for a little early celebration for my Mom’s 60th birthday, I’m sure we’ll all have a blast. I’ll be sure to fill all readers in on our adventures in a future post, but for now it’s less online time and more family time!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Have you read The Bear Snores On?

What about another “Bear” series book like “The Bear Wants More” from Karma Wilson?
