Snuggling and Cartoons

When you were about three months old you started to sleep in your own crib. Once we reached that point you and I started a tradition completely by accident. Once you were fully awake each morning I would come and get you out of your cribby and bring you into bed with me. You would lie on Daddy's pillow with your monkey and your Binky and I would turn on PBS.

I took these stellar images myself with my IPhone so please try to appreciate them for what they are.

Although you are the cutest baby in the whole world...I apologize for your momma being the worst looking morning person ever!

Once your tiny little hiney was all snuggled up in bed with Toby and Jack we would turn on the television to your most favorite cartoons. Even as a little bitty six month old baby you undeniably love your shows. When you see them come on you get so excited! You smile from ear to ear and you even squeal a bit. Your legs get real tense and you start kicking like a fish out of water. You stare at the television so intensely that you can even see the reflection in your eyes. Daddy and I think it is so stinkin funny that you already have favorite characters!

This is Sid the Science Kid. He is a bi-racial little boy who loves to explore and discover the world around him while at pre-school. He does all this with the help of his three friends May, Gabriella, and Gerald. They sing some of the most catchy tunes that we sing as a family all the time! I hope one day you can look back at this and feel about Sid the way I feel about Jem and the Holograms.

This guy needs no introduction. He has been around since forever and his name is Curious George. He is a mischievous little monkey and Daddy loves to sing his theme song to you! One day at Mom mom and Pop pop Barber's house this came on while we were changing your diaper and they could not believe how excited you got! You practically broke your neck trying to look at the TV and you laughed the entire time! Who doesn't love that monkey!

This is by far your most highly preferred show....SUPER WHYY!!! Here he is with the rest of the super readers. There is nothing I would rather see then your tiny little face light up when Whyy and his letters pop up on the screen. He reads books and spells words and the alphabet is by far your most favorite part of the program. One afternoon I was walking you upstairs to take a nap and Super Whyy was just starting. You were wiggling your bald head from left to right as fast as you could when I realized your were simply trying to catch a glimpse of the television. You had heard his theme song and that was enough to make you connect the dots.

It is so precious to me....not cause I want you to sit in front of a TV set all day, but because as a 29 year old woman I still get nostalgic thinking of some of my favorite childhood shows. I am sure that this list will change several times each month as you grow and become more aware, but I think it is such and adorable and memorable part of your first six months of life <3
