Because They Want Me to Die of a Heart Attack

i strongly suspect that there was no throwing of my baby body, when I was young because everytime I see it done, it scares the crap out of me!

August 21, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMisty

At least they are on the grass...not concrete!

August 21, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterDanielle

I always hated when Sam did that with the kids because HELLO? it's scary for the mom!

Micah's therapist told us it was one of the best things for his low muscle tone. Great, just the encouragement Sam needed.

Can you say future cheerleader? Or maybe Olympic gymnast. I prefer my feet firmly on the ground!

August 21, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterDebbie Yost

I always tell my hubby, "Me next!" hehe
Great pics! Looks like fun. :)

August 21, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKathryn

Aww come on mom, she's just practicing to be a flyer in cheerleading! :) I know, it gives me a heart attack too! LOL

bwahahahahaha.

no, hon, i'm not laughing at you. i'm laughing at all the commenters who think that the toddler is in training to be a flyer.

bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Ya know.... it's not really the heart stopping that will do you in. It's holding your breath until its all over that'll do that. :)

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterThe Sports Mama

Honestly...men and their babies...what's with them? I think they want us to stop breathing and have a heart attack sometimes.

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMulti-tasking Mommy

I second Danielle: if they really wanted to give you a heart attack, they would be on concrete.

Do moms do this with their babies? No. Why? Do we think we'll give ourselves a heart attack? Hmm. Yet another for the "Gender Differences" files.

ciao,

My husband does that with both of our kids. They love love love it.

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterEllyn

that alwyas scares me...I have to fight the "reach & catch" urge even when they aren't my kids. Of course when I did it with them it was perfectly ok!

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterBirdie

Scary for Mom, but fun for Toddler! Look at her face in the photos!! Pure Joy.

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMandy

Ok, but those are pretty good pictures. Still, between the scares and the lack of sleep, I think having a toddler makes you age faster. Aren't I a ray of sunshine? LOL

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterElisa

Ok, maybe it will make you go into coronary arrest but I have to say that it makes for some awfully cute pictures. Just sayin'...

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterElaine A.

That's just plain fun. I did that with the kids as often as the dad did! It's great! Just don't let him throw Alexis up while standing under a ceiling fan in motion. Doesn't work so well. Cathedral ceilings? Fine!

He's a good dad. :)

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterFlea

I'm pretty sure that's in their job description. ;)

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterhoneywine

aahhhh.....little girls and their Daddy's!
Great pics, btw!

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterVal

oh yeah, cheerleader-in-training, right there ;) woohoo! hehe How does Mama feel about THAT??

Great shots of it though! And I'm with the others- at least it's on grass and not concrete!

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJen

Okay, I'm going to be the lone mom here who does this also with the kiddo, aren't I? Although now that she's getting bigger, I am happy to let my hubby do it. I always think of how fun it is. Apparently I'm missing some woman/mom worry gene. ;-)

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered Commentercaramama

You are lucky he's just tossing her a little. My cousin, the gymnast, would throw his kids clear up high and have them do flips and stuff. Now THAT was scary!

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterShellie

If my ass weren't pregnant and Little Man didn't weigh 30 pounds, I'd still be doing this to him. But now, it's sadly hubby only territory.

Look, your heart's going to have to learn to cope. After all, you have signed up the girl for gymnastics. Soon, you'll be wishing it was just Mr. Husband throwing her around.

Yes, I know, I'm not helpful.

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterCatwoman

I do it to. Only I'm closer to the ground than Jon so its not as thrilling for the kidlets and not as scary for me. When jon does is I still get wound up.

At least you got some fan-freaking-tastic shots out of it!!!

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterCecily R

Looks like fun, can I try? (Being thrown of course, if I threw the baby my arms would fall off.)

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKim

It freaks me out when hubby does that to Aidan too!

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterTammy

That is how I get all kids to like me. I throw them into the air and/or spin them in circles. They love it.

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterALF

She has great form... I see a gymnastic or diving gold medal for sure! :)

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterRoger

Awww look at her giggle :)

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterValarie

Heart attacks are not very lady like. You might soil yoursefl when it happens. Pick a different way to go! :)

She is so damn cute!

Hallie

Tell me about it! Every time Hubs did that I would hold my breath. Cuz he throws HIGH and being that he's 6'5" to begin with, you can imagine the air the munchkins got!

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAmy

It'll get worse before you get better...I mean, she'll start giving you heartattacks without Dad's help. Oh, sorry. Same thing.

She's a beautiful girl, you know!

August 22, 2008 | Unregistered Commentermumple

little daredevil, they all love that! Moms, however....

LOVE those pictures!

(And yes, partly because it's not MY kid that is being thrown in the air ;) )

August 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKellie

Dylan LOVES that! How did you get those shots? What setting? I can't seem to capture the joy properly.

August 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJen

Those pictures are awesome quality! Alexis looks just like a little rocket!

August 24, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMy boys are Army Brats

I know it well. Only MY husband really did drop her. And we went to the ER. Yup.

But, dayam, they make for cute pics, so what's a wee little fall?

August 24, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterjust jamie

that's some fun stuff there! Justin does that on a daily basis with both kids. considers it part of his work-out routine (10 tosses of the 24-pounder; 5 tosses of the 34-pounder). I laugh along with them because I can't help. I suspect you may have been doing the same, in-between swallowing your heart back down to where it belongs.
