Baby Monitor Update:
"hi pillow pet, hiiiii...wow, wow, WOW!...Coworado Avawanche!....W, X, Y, ZZZ...like a dog, like a dog pillow pet! ha ha!!...stand up, quack quack, don't talk.... look blankie tooted....hi Anthony...baby, wait don't!...wow...look this...dog book....you little dog, you dog....glub glub glub...(fake snoring)....pillow pet, do that! haha!...you!...cuddle up, pillow pet, want up? uh oh, blue blankie...come on pillow pet...blue blankie, I love it, wash blankie...cool huh? good, I did it..."


Blue blankie was substituted today for blue blankie #2. The switch was undetected. However, upon leaving the dryer, blue blankie #1 was spotted and the 2 year old may have suspected the switch but then he was distracted by a pair of interesting under ware in the hamper which became a very stunning hat

in this instance, we are certain pillow pet was being blamed for a toot that was not his...

yes, he is singing his own mixed version of ABBA's mama mia and Justin Bieber's baby baby pretty creative I think....

Now meet some of his bed time entourage, the babies.....



"little baby", AKA "baby" was found summer of 2010 at a yard sale. He found it and right away started kissing it and patting its back and said, "I love it!" so what kind of mother would I be if I did not buy it? and it turned out the people thought it was so cute they gave it to us for free! then I have no idea where big baby came from, one of those toys that seems to have just moved in because he heard we were kind to lonely stuffies. So then he became "big baby" because well he is the bigger of the 2. He is very creative with his stuffie naming. We found out at 3AM one night that the big baby has a quacker in it "quack quack quack quack"...so usually when you hear "baby" he is talking to or singing to baby...he thinks Justin Bieber's song is about these guys, maybe it is?
