Obsessed Much?


This boy...I don't know what we're going to do with him??
I have never seen any other 17 month old kid as passionate about anything as Jesson is about ATV's and snowmobiles. Last weekend while Scott was moving the sled from the back storage area around to the house, Jesson rode with him the whole 200 yards or so. Once the machine was turned off and we headed for the house, Jesson went into hysterics - crying until he almost couldn't breath, making motor noises while spitting all over the front of his jacket, and pointing back at the sled and some bicycle helmets (which were close enough for sledding in his opinion).
I can't get over how badly he seems to NEED to ride on things that make noise. An example of his love of motors came when he sat on the pressure washer, now stored in the basement for winter, and kicked at the tires making spitting motor noises on that as well. He's obsessed!
He makes his motor noises for every truck (his second love) that goes by outside, every snowmobile or ATV he sees on TV or in magazines, and every time we head outside he makes sure I understand he'd like to go for a ride. While we are both thrilled that he's found something he's really interested in, we both thought that would come a little later in life than 17 months old.
Oh well, maybe he'll be the next Blaire Morgan and support us in our retirement?
This picture is actually the first frame of a video I shot, I didn't have any stills to post, sorry.

Here we go again!



Baby #2 is due August 10, 2005. This is the preliminary ultrasound which shows...well...nothing really, but it's all I had to show you. The doctor was just checking to make sure we were on track, I guess. The little critter is only about the size of a sesame seed so far. I'm sure we'll have much more footage to share in the future!

He's got big feet, but not quite this big. He loves to play in the shoe rack and throw jackets around too. Posted by Hello

Now....nothing's off limits! Out little Trouble Muppet has learned to climb on the kitchen chairs to get at whatever he can't reach from the floor. Posted by Hello
