Nest

Van has been pretending to be a baby bird and spends time in his 'nest'.

You can watch movies from your nest

Other fun Van things, he says, 'Mackerel, Mackerel!' instead of 'Holy Mackerel' which I say sometimes. 

This morning he said, 'I love you mom' as he was pushing a chair over to the freezer to get a snack out that he wanted. Stealthy manipulation technique.

This morning Courtney's little girl Liv came over to visit, and if she fell over he would lean down and say, 'Are you ok sweetheart?' I bet he gets that from Dionisia. 

Van's top 5 favorite foods right now

1. salami

2. corn

3. cookies

4. pirate booty

5. pineapple

We're trying to wean him off the salami since that article was just published about how processed meats cause cancer.  Yesterday I told him I ordered us a pizza and he asked if he wanted to come help me pick it up. He said 'Yeah!, and we can get corn too right?!' So we had to stop by Costco on our way to Moose's Tooth to buy corn on the cob.
