A friend of mine, @inprogress, tweeted this video last night and I just couldn’t pass it up. KK and I were in tears reading through the captions. So funny. Thought about waiting until Monday for it, but it’s too good. Now your turn. Go burn some calories and laugh!
As I have stated before, there isn’t much that is more fun, entertaining, hilarious, and awesome as watching your child learn and experience all kinds of things for the first time. The plums were amazing. The lemons almost as good. And of course there is always the staples: smiling, laughing, talking, standing, crawling, etc.
But this one is for sure in my top 3 along with the plums and lemons. Maybe it’s because my daughter is so facially expressive. Maybe it is just because it is hilarious. I don’t know. But whatever it is, it is awesome! Now you get to be a part of my daughter trying chicken for the first time.
(PS – there is nothing wrong with the chicken. KK and I actually both had it as well with much less reaction.)
I am a huge Transformers fan. I don’t care what you say or what you thought about the recent movies. I loved them. We saw the first one in the theaters 3 times in the first week it released. We don’t do that. But for this one we did. About 20 minutes into the movie, my wife had to take her had away from me because I was squeezing it without knowing it. I was that into the movie. We saw Revenge Of The Fallen a couple times in the theater too, but she was preggo at the time and it was quite difficult to sit through anything that long. So yeah. Transformers. Love. Them. I used to play with the toys when I was growing up. And as we all know, I haven’t grown up, so…yeah.
As I was doing…well…probably nothing on YouTube the other day I stumbled onto this channel for HISHEdotcom. HISHE stands for How It Should Have Ended. They animated their own version of the ends of many popular movies and this one was one of my favorites! So here you go! Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen…How It Should Have Ended.
So I know this is a little out of the normal order of things around here, but I just couldn’t pass up this video any longer. My daughter is now 5 1/2 months old and is growing up before our very eyes (I guess that phrase works for almost every kid…except for Benjamin Button). We have been trying out several different types of solid foods the latest being nectarines, peas and plums.
One of my favorite things about this whole parenting thing is watching and realizing the craziness of all the firsts. I’m not talking about the walking or talking or whatever. I mean the first time she experiences things. The first time she tries to laugh but can’t because she doesn’t know how. The first time she tastes something sweet but doesn’t know what to do because she has never had sweet before. The first time she is tickled but doesn’t realize it’s funny.
Fortunately since my wife and I have been blogging and videoing all the time, we have caught many of these on camera. This one is so amazing I have just watched it over and over and over. Not like her first real laugh. Not like a daddy looking at his growing daughter. Not like that. I watch this one over and over and over because I laugh so hard it hurts. I’m not a crier, but I have already laughed so hard at this video that I have had tears streaming down my face!
Yeah. It’s that good. I recommend repeatedly restarting the video at about 12 seconds. And cue the tears.
Recently I was reading a post about dads and how we handle the kids when mom is gone. This video was linked. Despite the fact that I am blatantly jacking the whole idea, I loved the video and wanted to share it with you! The video is a Sketchy video called I’ll Get The Ice Creams and it is about daddy being on childcare duty while mom gets the ice creams. It is hilarious and just might give you moms out there a little glimpse into the chaos that seems to ensue when you leave us in charge of the kids! (I promise. We try. You are just way better at it than us!)
