Today’s Video: More Walkin’

A companion piece to our last post, in which we shared a brief and lousy video of the young man walking. Here he is, showing off more of his mad walking skillz, with a slightly better quality video. (But not that great. Look, I know people think Apple is next to godliness, but the iPhone, in my experience, doesn’t come anywhere close to living up to the hype. But I digress.)

Point is, Nyan Thomas is nothing short of a walking machine these days. As we sorta expected and feared, that means we must be even more vigilant, because you turn your back on him for even a second and, before you know it, he’s on the other side of the house, getting in to all sorts of mischief. Okay, not really mischief; aside from putting BlackBerries into the washing machine every now and again, he’s — so far at least — pretty well behaved. But you see my point.

Without further ado, I give you Nyan Thomas – walking.

Today’s Video: Walkin’

We’ve had some inquiries recently about how the little man is doing with his walking. I’m happy to report that he’s getting better and better. He hardly ever crawls any more, and when he gets knocked down, he gets up again and keeps right on walking. He’s looking less and less like a drunken sailor and more and more like just a regular ol’ toddler, walking along.

So we shot this video last night on the iPhone. It’s brief, and for some reason out of focus, and doesn’t show much walking. In other words, it’s a lousy video. But that’s the best we got right now. Sorry for the low quality, but please enjoy it nonetheless…

(If you look closely, you can see Daddy’s BlackBerry in Nyan’s hand – and you can see him store it in the drawer. That seems to be his new thing. The other morning, he had the same BlackBerry, and then it was gone… took me a few minutes to find it: he had put it in the washing machine. Of course.)

Today’s Video: Groceries

We’ve got a few House Rules here at Nyan Thomas World Headquarters. Three, in fact. And House Rule Number Three is: Teamwork. This weekend, our boy showed that he’s definitely got House Rule Number Three down pat. Here he is, helping to unload the groceries.

 

(The challenge will be, of course, keeping him a believer in House Rule Number Three when he gets to be a little older… but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it…)

Today’s Videos: Nyan Thomas Does Christmas

We’re back in London, and we returned with lots of pressies for the boy and plenty of photos and video too. Here’s a couple of videos from Christmas Day itself. First up, Nyan Thomas opens a present – check out how bouncily excited he gets!

 

And here he is a bit later, flipping through one of his many new books. The boy loves his books!

Today’s Videos: At the Office

A pair of videos showing the young man sitting at Grandma’s desk, working the computer, moving the mouse, playing with the pen, throwing paper on the floor, making funny faces and just generally being Nyan.

Today’s Videos: Music at Dinnertime

We try to make music an important part of Nyan’s life. For instance, during dinnertime on weeknights, we’ll usually have a radio nearby, playing classical music. He seems to enjoy it immensely. Here at Grandma and Grandpa’s, we decided on something similar the other day: Daddy brought out his iPad and played a few music videos at the end of the meal. Here’s a few of our efforts.

First up, we have the Muppets version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Does Nyan enjoy it? He was dancing during certain parts, at least:

Today’s Videos: Bathtime at Grandma and Grandpa’s

The latest in our occasional series of videos of the young man at bath time. Here we are in Iowa, in the same bathtub, as it so happens, that Daddy used when he was growing up. Musical accompaniment by Superchunk, one of Nyan’s favorite bands (Daddy’s too, coincidentally enough).

Sunday Dinner with Nyan’s Ladies (Pics + Videos)

On Sunday, Nyan wanted to take his ladies out to lunch – that is, the women who work at his nursery, the ones who get to spend all day with the young man, five days a week. So Mommy arranged it, and the three of us, plus about a dozen ladies from the nursery, all met up at the Westfield shopping center – right next door to where the Olympics were held – for lunch at a pizza restaurant. Read on for more pics, videos and more…

Today’s Videos: Phone!

Nyan Thomas is nothing if not a digital native, and as we’ve seen, he loves telephones. He used to just love to stick them in his mouth (of course, what does he *not* love to stick in his mouth?) but of late, he’s really taken a fancy to pressing the buttons and talking on the phone (or at least making believe he’s talking on the phone.) Here are two great recent examples.

From last weekend with Phwa Phwa in Colchester, here we have our hero playing with a real phone and a real phone call – we dialed the landline from a mobile phone and, well, you can see the results…

And here we are a couple nights ago, on the sofa at home. He’s got someone’s Blackberry and he’s deep in conversation with someone. He also is apparently sending some text messages, or at least trying…

We’re not sure what he’s saying, but it seems pretty important.
