Thursday Thirteen – WOW!!
-
The new black light bulbs in our overhead kitchen fluorescent light.
-
Opening the heavy desk drawer that he was previously unable to open and finding a veritable baby heaven of cables, CD’s, and other forbidden items.
-
The many thunderstorms we had this week – he marvels at all the “wain” pouring down outside our screened patio, and jumps at the thunder.
-
Discovering my bright red lip smackers in my purse during a forbidden climb on the countertops, then sticking his finger all the way down the tube and smearing it on the countertops. Mama was not as enthusiastic.
-
The Backyardagains on TV – he’s never watched them before, but now all I hear is “wow, bak-guard-gens, mama, wow”!
-
Pulling all the cushions off the couch and jumping on the (covered) springs – who knew?!
-
Always and forever, the ceiling fans – practically since birth, he has been amazed by them and continues to marvel at them every chance he gets.
-
The giant model of the yellow M&M guy at the grocery store, who also had the esteemed honor of having a song sung to him, consisting of “M&Ms, M&Ms…”, but he’s still little, so it’s cute.
-
The giant balloons in the produce section of the same grocery store – it is “wow, bees” or “wow, melmo (Elmo)”.
-
Also in the produce section, the cantaloupes were the subject of much “wow”-ing and exploration, ending with an attempt to bite them and toss them like a ball. Hmmmm.
-
Back at home, the drawing of triangles with any medium never fails to produce a “wow” and then a frantic scribbling and an “oh, no, triangle!” – well, at least he knows one shape, right?
-
The presentation of any messy food always gets a “wow” as well, accompanied by an attempt to either launch it across the room with a handy utensil or stick his hands in it and squish it between his fingers. Hence why his diet is mostly finger food.
-
The arrival of Daddy after a long day at work!

Aww, I just love the wow’s! I wow at the Backyardigan’s, too. They’re just cute little buggers aren’t they?
I love to see babies get so excited about Daddy’s Home! It’s such an important part of the day!
Happy Thursday
Adorable! Great TT! I played too, thanks for visiting. Stacie
Wow, if I ever got 50 comments like you have here I’d faint on the spot.
I enjoyed reading about your lovely child. Makes me think about when my little ones were young. I kept baby books, but it would have been more fun to record their goings-on on a TT.
Enjoy it while it lasts. I have one teen and two pre-teens. They are not always amusing as your little guy….
LOL at the lipstick. I remember those days too. My 5 year old son is in love with the Backyardigans. I find myself humming the theme song throughout my day! Happy T13!
Awwwww….My kids were never *wow*ers. They kinda took everything in silently. Sound very cute…
Thanks for stopping by my 13!
My son was also amazed at ceiling fans, just fascinated by them. I love that the “wows” haven’t stopped at our house as my kids have grown out of the toddler stage. They are still enthusiastic about discovering new things and enchanted with life in general (most days…)
I tell you – I miss those days! Now I find I am the one doing with “wow”ing over the fact that they are so grown up….
Don’t ya just love it when they talk baby talk….!! Keep a diary with all the baby words..makes for fun later when they grow up.
Thanks for visiting my TT.
What a sweet list! My son’s word is “amazing.” Even his greatgrandmother’s death rated, “Amazing.”
Thanks for visiting my TT!
OMG 60 comments already!!! it must be the bright red lip smackers…
happy tt
#4 and #6 I totally sympathize! I’ve lot many lip smackers to kids who thought they were” good enought to eat” and just wait till your little one realizes that if he bounces on the couch just right he can touch the ceiling!
Wrongblog’s TT is Up! Erica Wrote it this week!
This is great. My son loved fans when he was a baby too, and the backyardigans are a HIT in our house!! Thanks for stopping by today!
This is a very sweet list! They are so precious when they are little!
Love your blog! What a cutie pie! Thanks for visiting my T13! Hope to see you around again real soon!

I wish that I could still be amazed by the little things in life! It would be a nice change! Great list!
It’s so important to enjoy the little things….It’s an important reminder to all of us. I enjoyed your list.
My TT is up here
Wow!
Busy, busy, busy! What an adorable list. 
Aww.. you always have the sweetest lists.
thanks for visiting my TT!
First, thanks for stopping by my TT. My sons are 8, 8, and 5. When my 5 year old was two, he saw this Stanley Steamer commercial where the kid jumps up and down on the chocolate syrup bottle in the all white living room. That was a “wow” for him. So much “wow” in fact that he decided to re-enact it…..did I mention we lived in BASE housing?
Love your TT. It takes me back to when my kiddos were that little.
Thanks for coming to my TT and Pirates was good, but it’ll be out on DVD before you know it! Actually I think that’s why my daughter had trouble sleeping earlier this week–she’s 9 and has seen the first one and no problems, but we didn’t see the first one on the BIG SCREEN so I think it was a little more overwhelming. Made me feel like a baaaad mommy!
One of my most favoritest things is the “wow’s” my girls give me everyday. I look forward to seeing what “wow’s” them and in turn how they “wow” me…it’s the greatest!
Gotta love ‘em!
Little ones are so cute. It’s amazing the things they come up with.
black lights would get a wow out of me, too! Thanks for visiting!
What an adventurous little guy. My kids still love to pull the cushions off the couch and jump on the springs…and they are 4 and 6. The couch, however, is not as thrilled by this activity and we are now currently couch shopping.
Awwww, how sweet! Thank you so much for sharing! Happy TT!
Ohhh this list brings back some very sweet memories!
#13 was always a favorite for me too! Now it’s just “oh dad’s home”
They grow so fast!
Thanks for yoour comments on my blog!
