That naughty elf...

RyDaddy left a note this a.m., saying the apple juice tastes horrible. 
The girls thought that was pretty hilarious...
and then they figured out what Jingle's note said...

and realized that Jingle used that nice little cup of water 
K-Rae left him yesterday for a "potty".....
 
Little Miss Mae laughed her head off and then said:

And K-Rae wrote Santa a note saying that 
'we have to send Jingle back to the North Pole'...
Yes, things are a little out of control here....
it provides some much needed seasonal stress relief though....
that's about all the justification we have for this silliness!!! 
As for our other little elf....
this is his new favorite game:

His other latest antic is stuffing his cheeks full of dog food, which is just really gross;
on the other hand, saying "hi" to everyone is super cute.  His other words include "Dadda, Mama, Bubba (his nickname), & oh," and sometimes he will say "more," and once he even said "all done!" (at Thanksgiving) and surprised everyone at the table!  He does sign language for "milk" pretty much all the time (and often not the most opportune times considering he will only nurse!), as well as signs "more" and "all done." 
And he turned 9 mos. old yesterday.....
I can't believe how quickly the past 9 mos. have gone---
He is one speedy little crawler, and I'm thinking those blue eyes may just be here to stay!
