Overheard on the Couch

MF: Good grief. Here we go again. Can't a guy just eat his apple in peace?

Baby Boo: What? Where? Where are we going?

MF: The couch, of course. Daddy's out of the country again, so Mommy's got the camera out to take pictures of us.

Baby Boo: The camera?!? Oh, goody! Look at me! Look at me!

MF: D*mn camera hog. I'm getting really tired of that Happiest D*mn Baby in the Whole Wide World routine thing you've got going on, Baby Boo. It's rather tiresome.

Baby Boo: Ha ha ha! You're just jealous. And you said 'd*mn!' Daddy said that's a naughty word.

MF: Big whoop. And I learned it from Mommy, anyway, so she can't get that offended about it. And Daddy's out of the country again, so he'll never know.



Baby Boo: Daddy! Smile for Daddy! I'm smiling for Daddy!

MF: Yeah, you can smile all you want Baby Boo, but too bad you're not super cool like me.

Baby Boo: What do you mean I'm not cool? I'm cool!

MF: No, you're not. You need sunglasses to be truly cool. Everyone knows that, Baby Boo.

Baby Boo: Oh. {pause, then lunge}

MF: No way! Hands off!

Baby Boo: Gimme! Mommy! I want to be cool like MF!

Baby Boo: Ha! Look! Mommy got me sunglasses just like yours, MF.

MF: Figures.

Baby Boo: So now I'm super cool, too!


Baby Boo: {pause, then a whisper} Does everything look dark to you, MF?

MF: Maybe a little, but that's the price you pay for coolness, Baby Boo. Maybe you're really just inherently uncool.

Baby Boo: Hurrrumph. Well, I don't have to be able to see much to still be super cute. See? I can still smile for Daddy!

MF: Suck up. {heavy sigh} Sooo uncool.

Ohhh so cute, and very funny Ewe.
it's incredible how big Baby Boo seems next to MF. Wow, you've got 2 growing boys on your hands. Hope the dream house has a big pantry!!

They are so adorable.

After an all round crummy day in these parts, this was a bright little sunny spot. Thank you!

Baby Boo - let your older brother have cool. You are the happiest baby on the planet, give MF cool. Okay? Every one needs to develop their own thing. His is cool.

-ADM

PS - happiness trumps cool in my books. But what do I know. I'm uncool and grumpy.

You really should stop having so much fun when your husband goes away for fear he'll make a habit of it.

That said, I love the pictures.

This is the best one of the series yet. So funny.

(Now that BB's hair is really coming in, I'm surprised how dark it is.)

It's only uncool if you jump on the couch and declare your love for Katie Holmes.

They are both so sweet! I must squeeze BB's cheeks. Oh no, I've turned into one of THOSE old ladies.
