Tech Savvy...

How did my 17 month old become so tech savvy? Monday I look up from the kitchen to see that AG has situated himself at the desk in the den. He's got one hand on the mouse and the other on the keyboard. Really? I shook my head and came to inspect "the situation". I then see that AG has pulled up Picasa and is doing some photo editing. And, yes, that second photo is of himself and Hannah! He laughed when that picture popped up on the screen.

On Tuesday I opted to pull the chair away a bit from the desk. Thinking surely he won't climb and mess with the computer from this distance. NOPE. I hear loud music blaring from the den. I come around the corner and see him standing in the chair like Stretch Armstrong. iTunes is pulled up and Acceptance's "Take Cover" is filling the room at the max volume! Really? How did he get this tech savvy?! He never ceases to amaze Andy and me.

What we've learned this week...

1. AG is tech savvy. (Obviously)
2. With each day that passes I'm thinking his crib days might be numbered.
3. He has good taste in technology...he's a MAC fan already. Ha.
4. The desk chair is now across the room when we aren't using it. We're not sure how long this will keep him from finding another way to access the computer but for the interim it's the best we've got.

It's beginning to look a lot like...

This post was started a week ago but due to the chaos it never wasn't finished till now. Enjoy!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around the Edwards house. The stockings are hung by the chimney with care. The tree is decorated and AG's first ornament is on it. Below we have brown paper packages tied up with string. (Red ribbon actually!) Here are some pictures of the house:

Wow. This month is flying by. AG turned 11months old on Friday. I look at him and can't believe that I have a mobile child that is almost a toddler. Speaking of mobile we are walking everywhere these days...he's almost up to full steam and it's a matter of days before we are running after him. AG is quite the independent child...must be that red hair! Which is really starting to come in. He walks all over the house and is purposeful in his adventures. For example for weeks we have wondered how in the world the Xbox would turn on and be running without being touched. (It's kept in the entertainment cabinet that has a child lock on it.) On Friday, Andy was playing a game and AG strolled over to the Guitar Hero guitars and started mashing buttons...thus interrupting Andy's game and solving our weeks long mystery. Well, today I moved the Guitars to the other side of the ottoman that we use to block off the back hallway. Well AG took off walking thru the den to the kitchen, hung a left at the fridge, and then proceeded to head thru the front hall to the guest bathroom and arrived at the guitars. Sneaky, sneaky little one.
