PLEASE HELP WITH PROJECT SURVEY

I just posted 5 survey questions to the LEFT. If you could please answer them honestly it would really help me with my school project. Your answers are anonymous so please do be honest. The link to the video is HERE . I didn't want to put the video in since it is controversial. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Have a Happy Turkey Day!

ON THE LAST QUESTION: Does the video of Flavor of Love confirm or contradict your opinion of African-American women? YES = CONFIRM, NO = CONTRADICT.

I tried to change it but it won't let me.... THANKS!

Mariachi Man and other things

I just thought this was a super cute picture. Barrett went to the doctor last week for his 9 month check, he is a very happy boy.
He weighed in at 25.8 lbs and he his 31 3/4 inches long. He is 97% for head and weight and off the charts in height.
Bear has starting sleeping face down on his hands, you can see the imprints on his face from his fingers - no, I am not beating him.
Barrett also really likes his snacks, he is very into feeding himself.
Here is a picture of Bear playing guitar with his Daddy. Maybe we have a little musician on our hands too!

By the way, as I mentioned in my post below, my cultural study is of a sexual nature. If you find this offensive, DO NOT look at it. I would appreciate Constructive Feedback as this is a school assignment in which I will be receiving a grade. I realize that some of you will find the videos offensive; however, you can read the text without looking at the videos if you are interested in helping me with the assignment, if not, that is fine too. Thanks.

Finally!

Well, Barrett finally cut his first tooth. It only took him 9 months, 1 week, and 4 days, but it is finally here. We have yet to see the little bugger, but my Grandma babysat last night and pointed out that she felt something sharp in his mouth and that she thought he had cut a tooth; of course, we were totally clueless :) I felt in his mouth this morning and sure enough, there is a tooth there. He won't let me see it though, I guess he is keeping it to himself for now; but nonetheless, it is there!

Hopefully, he will show off those pearly whites soon so I can snap a picture of him, but until then we will just have to go with feeling it.

Last night we had a lovely dinner to celebrate Deana, JoAnn and I's birthdays this month. It was really fun... good to see everyone! And happy birthday to the ladies!

Happy Birthday to my best friend for over TWENTY years, Trina! Can't believe we have known each other that long. Love ya lots!

Flavor of Love Cultural Study

Just in case anyone is interested in my school studies, here is my blog for cultural studies class on the Flavor of Love (click on the hypertext). I warn you that it is a bit sexual so I wouldn't view it with your kids. I would love some feedback, though (but please post to this blog, not the Flavor of Love one or you can email me). It is a work in progress. Not quite done yet... let me know what you think.

P.S. I have yet to figure out what this has to do with English composition - my professor says we are writing and I guess that is his justification.

Commando

Barrett is quite good at commando crawling. He can get up on his knees, but he is much more efficient at the commando crawl. Now, he is wanting to stand up all the time too.

He loves Chuie. check out this video (just ignore the background noises).
