Secret Weapon Caught on Film!

While peeking out from his room's window and waiting for his daddy to come home from work, Captain X unleashed his most powerful and secret weapon yet...what is it? His infectious laugh. Be careful, you'll end up rolling on the ground laughing along with Captain X! He's been known to use this weapon when he knows he's in trouble or trying to turn a stern, "NO!" into a gleeful "YES."



Oh, and check out the new chompers he's got the past few weeks! They are really coming in!

Until the next "X-venture"!

It's a winner!

Remember the first birthday bash invitation that this blog design is inspired by? Well, mom just got notification in the mail this week that it won a design award. Woooohooo! There were 10,000+ entries from across the country and this was one of the designs that was selected as a winner. Woooohooo!

Now back to another episode of Captain X's daily adventure.

A Fine Mess

Curiosity, what is the saying? That it killed the cat? Well, for Captain X, curiosity got him into a fine mess... one that his mom had to clean up. Somehow when his mom was checking on dinner in the kitchen, he managed to find a small jar of Vaseline and smothered the contents all over his face, clothes, hands, and feet (thank goodness he didn't make it to the hair just yet!)...and oh, yes... the rug in his room. Needless to say his feet, hands and face was very nicely moisterized and soft once the excess was wiped off...and there is sure to be some that made it into his mouth as well. Yummm, petroleum jelly.... not the world's tastiest snack! I guess it's the slime and texture.

Sorry folks, no pictures to include. Mom was busy freaking out and trying to wipe up the goop. But, you can imagine the smirk on Captain X's face when he was caught.

That's our little troublemaker... If he's not making noise, he's making trouble.

This just in: Captain X, Revealed!

Welcome to the Chronicles of Captain X, otherwise known lovingly as our "little guy." Quite an active toddler, this blog was set up for friends and family (far and near) to follow X's milestones and adventures.

For those of you wondering, how did we come up with the Captain X idea for the blog - it's actually an extension of his first birthday party theme! He's our own superhero! You see, this is what happens when your parents are artsy-fartsy types - mom designs custom event stationery and dad is an excellent illustrator! We can't take all the credits for the invitation though! We had wordsmithing help from mom's friend, Amanda!

What's Captain X's superpowers? Speed (for a toddler with little legs, he sure outrun his mom sometimes!) and super-infectious smile & laughter (no, really we're not kidding!) -- these are his main superpowers. So, beware! At 20 months-old (currently), he's laid down his former weapon of choice (the "Binky"). We're not sure what will replace it or if it will be replace. Though, we can say that his chompers (at last count more than 10 of them!) are his latest weapons. So, beware again and never, ever put your fingers in his mouth unless you are prepared to be feeling some pain!

Until our next "X-venture"... Enjoy the blog!
