I am getting to spend this whole week with just him since we are not keeping our neighbors' children this week, and I am loving every second of it!! We have so much fun together!
So...today's blog will be a bunch of little random thoughts about my sweet, rambunctious, funny, and lovable Little Man.
- He is talkin' up a storm these days! His current favorite words are: Mommy, Daddy, monkey, messy, blank (blanket), car, go, open, mine. His current favorite phrases are: "Oh no! What did you do?," "Ready to go," "Nite-nite," "all done," "come back here!" It is unbelievable how much his speech has picked up in the last two months or so. He says something new every single day. Sometimes he'll just say random words he knows over and over and over. Last night it was, "nana, apple, nana, apple, nana, apple, Barney, Thomas, Barney, Thomas, car, go, car, go, nite-nite!" (P.S. I am trying to curb his love of Barney. We hardly ever watch it, but boy does he light up when it comes on. Darn that purple dinosaur.)
- He loves to go in his closet and sit in his old car seat and play while I put away his clothes.
- When he hears airplanes, he points up in the sky and says, "airpane!" He once heard a motorcycle crank up and thought it was an airplane. When we have the windows open and he hears birds, he points outside and says, "bir!"
- The child loves a banana. More proof that he's a monkey! He also loves mini blueberry muffins.
- He also loves monkeys. We can be in a store and there'll be a basket full of stuffed animals, and he'll automatically grab the monkey even if it's not on top. When you say monkey, he makes monkey sounds. (Which is friggin' adorable.) :)
- He loves naked time. A lot.
- He loves to be outside. All day long he constantly goes over to the door and points and says, "outside!"
- He has a special bond with his Nana. (My mama.) Boy does he love her! And of course she loves him! MamaSherry tells me it's a lot like the bond Mama and I had when I was a baby.
- He doesn't want you to give him just half of a graham cracker. If you only give him half, he looks at it and frowns and then puts his hand on his forehead in frustration.
- He loves to wash his hands in the sink.
- His hair is starting to get a reddish tint. And it is growing, growing. It curls up.
- He has been known to put himself to bed. Sometimes when we have friends over on the weekend, he stays up with us and plays with everyone. One night he was playing and having a good time and then he went to each person and said nite-nite and then walked to his room.
- He likes to shop - as long as he's riding in a buggy. Sometimes he enjoys the stroller, but mostly he just likes the buggy. So, Target, Kohls, Bi-Lo, Babies-r-Us, etc...are usually fun and easy trips. Going to the mall or out to outlets or anywhere else where he'd have to ride in a stroller is a crap shoot. He may do fine, or he may demand to walk or be held. I'm not sure why...maybe because he can look directly at me and see all the stuff around him at the same time when he's in the buggy? I do know that he definitely takes after his father in the shopping area...if we are in the mall or at the outlets, he cries and kicks immediately when we cross the threshold into a store. hahaha!
- Sometimes we'll be relaxing and sitting together and he'll pat me on the arm or leg and look at me and say, "Hey, Mommy." I love it!
- He is getting really good at the shape puzzles with the pegs in the pieces. He is so smart!
- Every afternoon when he hears Andy's key in the door, he gets so excited and jumps up and down and stands in front of the door. When it opens, he says, "Daddy!!" in the most excited voice you've ever heard. Then he lifts his arms up hubby picks him up and he tells Daddy about his day.
- His favorite way to bathe is in the shower with Daddy.
- He makes up funny sounds and says them over and over, cracking himself up all the while. At dinner the other night, he started going, "biddy biddy biddy baaaaahhh!" and he'd laugh and laugh. So, Andy and I started doing it and our Little Man laughed so hard that no sound was coming out and then he'd let in a big breath and resume the laughter. All three of us had tears in our eyes from laughing so hard.
- He has the sweetest personality. He is rarely in a grumpy mood, and if he is in one, he is either tired or hungry or sick.
- He doesn't like it if he has to stay in one spot for too long. haha! He is a boy on the move, people!
I could go on and on about our son. And I probably will in a future blog. :)
"If you think my hands are full, you should see my heart." I'm just sayin'...
