it's that time of year.....

.....and our favorite time at that! We are super excited about going into this years football season. David has been diligently working on "texas-fight" and "where my horns at-whoo whoo" in preparation for this weeks game. He has pretty much mastered them both, but will again not perform on cue for mommy to get on video....which explains the lack of blogging lately, goodness is this little man getting difficult to photograph. He is constantly on the go and his mommy and daddy cannot seem to keep up! Here are a few other tidbits to what has been going on at the roser household as our little man turned 17 months last week.....

• His vocabulary is definitely growing. He can now say; apple, elmo, bye-bye, pool, texas, airplane, all done, and others that I am sure I am forgeting.

• We are beginning to learn what seperation anxiety is around here. He gets extremely upset when one of us leaves. We tried to leave him in the church nursery in Indiana and were paged to get him within 10 minutes after drop off.

• As the weather gets cooler (okay, not cooler but it is amazing what a mere 5 degrees will do around here!) we are noticing that he is becoming very fond of playtime at the park. He even attempts to go down the slide alone and proceeds to say "weee" when on the swings!

• He had his second haircut last weekend. We decided to try a different establishment that definitely did a better job than the first. He did really well throughout the whole thing and looks so handsome.

• He loves him some elmo. It's the only thing he will sit still and watch, but it HAS to be elmo's world. It does not matter if elmo is on sesame street for the day, he will not sit to see what goes on until he hears the elmo's world song. This is the only thing that I really approve of him watching and he only gets to watch in the mornings and sometimes one episode before our nightime routine. We purchased a few elmo's world dvd's that we are hoping will get us through the car ride to austin this weekend.

• And in true longhorn spirit, which comes by him naturally...he loves the Texas Fight song! We downloaded it last year to his iPod and have been playing and dancing to it all week. He has learned to start the song himself and we have caught him running around the house dancing to it...it really is pretty cute; even you aggies out there would get a kick out of it!

So let it begin.....Hook 'em Horns!!
