Favorite Things Friday

From now on, on Fridays, I'm going to post a Top 10 list of my favorite things that have happened in our family since the previous Friday. Favorite things will not be listed in the order of their favoriteness...just in whatever order they fly out of my brain and into my fingertips. Hopefully, this will make for a quick and easy entry, and we can get ON with the weekend! Without further ado, I present this week's...

~Favorite Things Friday~

*Jonathan and Stephanie got married!! I don't have pics from the wedding, so these of them at the RD and of Jonathan and me pre-wedding will have to suffice.

~Lande's speech outfit for their rehearsal dinner ~The way Jared looked in his tux. Yum. (again, no wedding pics...but here's the happy couple eating mudbugs...) ~My sister's dessert table at the rehearsal dinner...here they are dipping strawberries! ~Henry saying the following words: outside, dog, ball, baba (aka bottle), mama, dada, nana, nina, got it, raaaaaah (in response to 'what's a dinosaur say?'), moooooooo (in response to what's a cow say?), doo-dooo-doo-dooooo (when he sees any paper-towel holder shaped thing...get it, we taught him to blow in it like a trumpet), and nunn-nunns (explanation to follow). He also makes various animal noises that can't be spelled (birds, dogs, cats, bunnies are the cutest by far - he just scrunches his face and sniffs his nose). ~In response to, "Don't bump your head", H promptly headbutts whatever is in front of him. Sometimes it's really cute - like when it's your shoulder in front of him - other times, not so cute - like when he's near the fireplace bricks and he does it even without being told 'not to bump his head' because he likes the attention. sigh. ~He learned how to hold hands...and sometimes, cries when you let go. Bestill my heart.

~H's sweet new obsession with motorcycles...a.k.a. Nunnn-nunnns...get it, say it like the sound a motorcycle makes when you rev the engine. If you dare say the n word in his presence, you WILL be expected to take him to his Grampy's house and sit him on the nunn-nunn...or be subjected to one pissy baby...a fate worse than waterboarding around our house. Here's a funny photo of him riding the nunn-nunn at Fuddrucker's. ~This should NOT make the favorites list, but since it so typifies life with an almost-walker, I have to include it. Ready? Here it is...Henry's swan-dive into my empty bathtub yesterday morning. I understand the magnitude of the tragedy that could have unfolded, but thankfully, he caught himself with his hands and didn't even get a bump on the head. Mostly, just scared the crap out of himself...and taught us to NEVER leave a bathroom door open ever again. This kid is SOOOO his father's son. ~Family dinner with fun, new LifeGroup friends at the Tin Roof!!

Have a great weekend everyone...if you're in the Houston area, head to Bill's Cafe on Loop 494 in Kingwood this Sunday. My sweet friends on Team Happy Hour are having a fundraiser for their 60-mile breast cancer walk this fall. BBQ and boobs...two great tastes that taste great together! Hope to see you there!!
