Movie Review: Captain Phillips

After seeing Philomena, Allison and I quickly squeezed in another movie that was at our local dollar cinema - Captain Phillips. It made me laugh we saw 2 movies back to back with 'Phil' in the title. #yesiknowiamadork

Plot: The true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years.

Review: I would say Allison and I both enjoyed the film but don't really see it as a 'Best Picture' contender. Tom Hanks was great {as usual}, and we both commented after it was over that his performance in the last 5 minutes was really awesome. Overall it was good, not great, and we're glad we only paid $1.50 each!

13 Month Memories!

I'm not planning to do a full-blown monthly post for Drew anymore now that she's one but will still do them for all her well-checks {just seems logical to me}. But I did want to 'jot' down some of the things happening this month so I won't forget.

Happy 13 months, my Love Bug!

You are starting to talk, and I am pretty confident to say you have 6 words. 'Mama', 'Dada', 'Bubba' {Brother}, 'hi', 'no', 'mo' {more}. I feel like you're starting out a little slower than Trent did to talk, but you are quickly catching up!

You love shoes! You are constantly bringing me shoes {yours, Brother's, mine} to put on you. You also love to play with the velcro straps on your school shoes.

We have pretty much switched you to 1 nap all the time. If you wake up crazy early, you might still get 2 naps.

You are biting, you stinker! You want to put fingers in your mouth - even your baby doll fingers.

You still love your baby dolls {especially your cabbage patch one}, think books are okay, love to stack/knock down blocks, love to be held {especially by Mama} and think your brother is the best.

You moved up classes at school to the 'First Steps' class and are doing great!

Happy 13 months, baby!!

And just because Brother seems to be sorely neglected on the blog as of late...{But lots of updates on him soon!}

He wanted hair like the guy singing {Bruno Mars} during the 'half hour show' - love it!
