the "pestering leyna" gene

this face. this darling little face. topped off by a pair of undies aka oliver's "bandit hat" as in the bandit hats from the movie fantastic mr. fox. aka "box" as oliver refers to it as. this face, along with his many silly mannerisms & raging energy is a definite gene carrier of his father's. he. must. pester. and i have to laugh! most of our recent conversations involve something very minute happening {like i drop something & say 'oh no'} & then oliver repetitiously asks "wha happened? wha happened? wha happened?" until i want to bang my head against the wall. and for instance, just moments ago:

mama: why do you do that? {as he's jumping onto my head from the couch}
oliver: what?
m: why?
o: what?
m: why?
o: what?
m: yes, why oliver?
o: what?
m: why?
o: cuz. {and he continues to climb on my head}

he's just very interesting. this is all explained with the most amount of love & humor, don't get me wrong. so, besides the pestering gene coming alive, he also does very obnoxious things like pull off the heat/air registers on the floor & find a cracker down there that he probably dropped down there 45 days ago & eats it. ugh really?! gross. or his love for watching christmas movies at the moment {elf & polar express currently}. or trailing his crumbs all over the carpet after i just vacuumed moments before {libba, you're going to hate it when this happens!} only to acknowledge it in front of him & then it spurs a whole other "wha happened?" spiel. ooooooooh. emmmmmm. geeeeeeeee. =)

i have a lot to update. a lot. but i don't have the time capacity to do so at the moment. gus is currently sick again. same everything as before. we are treating him from home, but it's taking a while for him to feel better. this is going to be a trying year! i have mother's day photos to post. gus turned 2 months old. and i also stand before you, admitting that i have traded my eating 18 oreos a day addiction for pinterest. it's bad. but it's soooo so good! i'm obsessed. but this is really a perfect thing for me. i hate collecting things. i strive to be a minimalist, but this website allows me to be a world wide web hoarder. mike has pretty much banned me from the internet now & diy project ideas! but it's the perfect thing, because there is an app for it & i can pin while i'm giving gus a neb treatment, or trying to rock him to sleep...& since these two tasks are quite frequent around here...i get a lot of pinspiration. check my site out below & i hope to update more on everything in the near future.

very pinteresting!
