Broken cameras and broken bodies

Ok, so I've never really been a "slogger" up until now but with my camera broken there's just nothing fun to post. If I did have my camera I would have taken pictures of the injuries of the past two days, first Oliver getting his finger stuck in the tape player and then pulling it out, scraping tons of skin off his finger, and then the day after falling face first on the asphalt at the duck pond. That one I didn't think was so bad until I picked him up and his mouth was filling with blood. Turns out his two front teeth cut into his lip pretty bad and it's still swollen. Poor kid. It was sad/funny walking back home with him in my arms, blood all over his shirt, and running down his chin. People probably were like, "did you know your child is bleeding". And he wasn't even crying, so it probably looked very strange. It's crazy that once upon a time I used to refuse to use a digital camera, and now it's so painfully convenient, there's almost no choice. Ahhh technology, you can't live with it and can't live without it. So not much else here. The weather is insane, who knows whether it's fall/winter/spring...but definetely not summer. I am waiting for it to get really warm to go swim with Ollie. That boy is a water baby. He is being very confident lately with his words. He always makes sure he says "hi" everytime we come into the room. Today I was picking up crumbs off the floor (don't ask) so he got down on the floor with me and bent down under my head and just kept saying "hi" like, mom, why are you doing that. I bet you just need to hear "hi". Anytime he hears a dog barking in the neighborhood he says "dog" and starts making dog noises. He picks up the cellphone and says "hola". And always "uh-oh", and will make things fall down just to say it. And just the way he says it with his little sweet voice, I just die. I have to get it on video. He's also quite the dancer lately, his favorites are Feist and Third Eye Blind. I can ask him for "besos" and he knows that means kisses and totally puts his face out, mouth wide open, for a big sloppy one. LOVE IT! Ok now I'm just rambling about my child so I'll go, hope everyone is wonderful!!!

He is so cute! I love the stories, especially the one where he kept saying hi to you while you were picking up the crumbs...I can picture the whole thing! So funny. I know what you mean about digital cameras...I miss the film too. that's why someday you'll need to get a digital EOS so you can still manually take pictures at least, even if it's digital. Anyway...I miss you tons :( Why does everyone have to be so far apart!?

I LOVE that he's getting so big. not because i want him to grow up fast, but it's just so fun to hear the next thing he does. what a little love with his kisses and hi's. can't wait to see you!

It's crazy how fast they grow up! He's such a cute boy! Before you know it you'll be having full on conversations with him.

I can't wait for you to get another camera or get it fixed. I am wanting to see Becky and Ollie pics. I am still loving the naked baby pics though. They are tiding me over.
