Things I've learned from TV

After four years of being without television Tommy and I decided to get with technology.  Like a bulimic put in front of a buffet, I started binging on t.v.  So here is what I've learned:

1.  A woman really can fight crime in heels (Dog the Bounty Hunter)
2.  If your mom didn't approve of your marriage before you got married and you needed to go on National Television to sort out your issues, DON'T move in with her later on in your marriage, because you're just going to end up back on t.v.  But did you really have to watch that on t.v. to figure that one out? (Monster-in-laws)
3. Yogurt is the secret ingredient to any great dish (Chopped)
4. Apparently life is supposed to go relationship, dog, house with stainless steel appliances, wood floors everywhere, granite counter tops, in the middle of the city, and a great view all for a budget of $200,000, marriage, vacation home and then maybe kids (House Hunters) Boy did we get it wrong!
5. I need more people in my life to get married  (4 Weddings)
6. I don't like sob stories (Any reality t.v. show)
7. I want all my children to be in dance because it's so entertaining but I don't want any of them in dance because there are a lot of floosies (So you think you can dance)
8. If you're on a show that's telling you that you have no sense of style, I think it's safe to assume the professionals know better than you (What not to wear)
9. I'm glad I'm not planning a wedding (Say yes to the Dress and Say yes to the Bridesmaids Dress)
10.We may laugh at them now but we will be the exact same way when our children are in sports programs (Dance Moms)
11.  I watched one episode of Bachelorette because I wanted to see why people loved it so much and I was a bachelor/bachelorette virgin.  I wish that were still true.  Half the show is her making out with the different guys.  Yeah, cause that's real
12.  Companies are not out to take every last cent from the little guy (Undercover Boss) Kind of already knew that but it's nice to see evidence that supports your hypothesis
13. I love the USA with its wide open spaces and have no desire to live in Europe with its costly price tags and rinky dink living spaces (House Hunters International)
14.  But I will visit anytime! (House Hunters International)
15.  There's actually a show out there called "I have no business raising children" (I didn't know I was pregnant) I got through half a story (which is about 1/4 of an episode) and had to turn it off.  Those people make me so mad.  Having actually been pregnant myself, you've got to have no brain to not at least suspect that.  Let's accept that all symptoms magically aren't there.  What do they think when they feel the baby MOVING inside of them?????
16.  And lastly, I secretly love drama...(Dance Moms, bachelorette, teen mom 2, say yes to the dress, monster-in-laws, hgtv design star, etc etc)

Photo Shoot Part One

 A few new things about Zach:
  • He sings
  • He laughs all the time now
  • He's ticklish under his armpits
  • He loves my hair
  • He's almost sitting up by himself
  • He's graduated to baths
  • He rolled over today from his back to his belly!  He's a little late bloomer on that front so it was really exciting.  I'm so glad Tommy and I were there to see it!
  • Oh, and now he's eating!!  We started a week ago.  He now eats the rice cereal, sweet potatoes, pears, and apples.
  • Oh and now his diapers reek.  It's really bad.  And I have how long until he's potty trained...?
Oh well but now Zach is SO cute.  I never thought he could get any cuter but every day he gets cuter.  It's so fun to watch him grow up and learn new things each and every day.  We love him so much.  I love that even after he's in bed, I can't wait for Zach to get up again. 

So with Tommy working and me not really, I get to spend a lot of time with Zach.  So sometimes you have to get creative. Today's activity was a photo shoot.  It was cut short because Zach was tired so there will probably be another one soon.  We have a crappy digital camera and I'm no photographer so don't expect much. Enjoy.
