Dax's Journal

Hackers and Toddlers

Michelle seems to have forgetten that people periodically check this site for updates. So I'll do this week's update.

Here's Dax sitting at his new workstation.

It doubles as his dining area also.

Dax would also like to demonstrate his tremendous balancing skills for you.

We are going to have our hands full next year when he discovers that he can climb the Christmas tree to demonstrate his Extreme Balancing Skills.

Dax has also become the little parrot. He repeats anything and everything: "Tia...Lola...Jacket...Puff...Duncan...Beep,Beep...Tree..." You say it, he'll repeat it. The word that Dax kept repeating over the weekend that Michelle and I both found humorous was:

"WHAT?!"

In your mind's ear, hear Dax say that word and then emphasize the "T" at the end. Like so: "Wha-TUH?!"

And then follow that with giggling. Lots and lots of giggling.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Here at Chez Madayag the halls are decked and we are fully ensconced in the Holiday Spirit.

Dax is enjoying Christmas more than I was expecting. He loves all the decorations. Whenever we go grocery shopping he spends the entire time pointing and shouting out "ball" when he sees ornaments and "tee" when he sees Christmas trees.

He hasn't figured out that all the pretty packages underneath our tree are filled with goodies. I can't even imagine his reaction when we point that out to him.

He also has been enjoying our walks at night when he can see all the lights and brightly decorated houses. It has actually been cold enough here to warrent bundling him up in his new hat and mittens.
