Melted and Busted

So, last night I started the dishwasher and about 30 minutes later I smelled burning plastic. Never good. When I opened the dishwasher to investigate, I found this.

It's a piece from one of Harper's bottles. It fell down to the bottom of the dishwasher and landed on the heating element that heats everything up during the drying cycle. Oh well. Good thing Harper doesn't use bottles anymore. Kind of.

I am in the process of uploading all of my old videos to Vimeo (It's way better than youtube. You should check it out.) While it's taking a long time to upload everything, I am having so much fun watching all of the old videos I took when Harper was little. Here's one of my absolute favorites. Basically, I found that I could get Harper to instantly stop crying if I just sang the theme from Ghostbusters. It seriously worked every time. I blogged about it here if you want to revisit the original post.

Baby Crack

I'm just going to come right out and say it. Baby Einstein = Baby Crack. Now while we all know crack is wack bad, I am not suggesting that Baby Einstein is bad. I'm just asserting that it is equally addictive. Here's a clip of Harper in a Baby Einstein induced trance. 

                                          

Here's a video of Harper's new favorite game. I like to call it "Set 'Em Up and Knock 'Em Down".                     

                                          

And for all of you skeptics out there that think the Ghostbusters song is a fluke, here is evidence of a recent application. 

 

                                          

Who You Gonna Call...

I think I was blessed with one of the sweetest babies in the whole world. Happiness and joy flow out of her and always have since the day she was born. Seriously... we have a picture of her smiling on the day she was born, and I really don't think it was gas.

On the rare occasion that she does get a little fussy, I have discovered a secrete remedy that literally works every time. When she gets upset and nothing else works, I sing the Ghostbusters theme song to her (of which I only know two lines). As you can tell in the video, the effects are instantaneous. Don't ask me why it works or how it works. I have no idea. I've tried other songs. They don't work - only Ghostbusters. See for yourself.
