This Month...

• You rode in the car for 9 hours because you love Avery so much and needed to be with her. You were pretty good... considering!


• You brought Aunt Leah a broken piece of basket and said "uh oh" and she said "you broke it." Your response was "OH MAN!" then you stuck it in her arm "OUCH!" we thought you were so funny!


• I left alot of these off the list last month because they aren't exactly clear words but you definitely say something for thank you, Hey, Hello (sort of like Lello), Blue (boo), Balloon (bayoooo), Meme, moo, AHHHH when you drink your drink, No, spider, gooble gooble, Something for Lennox but it's not the way I pronounce it!


• You like the broom & the vacuum. Maybe you'll be better at cleaning than I am.


• When you find a tissue you put it to your nose and blow.


• You can finally climb onto the couch and you get down feet first (good thinking)


• You are still extra huggable & lovable.


• You bit Everett on the hand. That's the first time I know of that you have bitten another child. I got on to you and made you hug Everett. Your "hug" was a hit but then you got the picture and gave a good hug. When you got in trouble, tender hearted Everett cried and you ran away playing... what's wrong with this picture?!

• You immediately try to give hugs when you know you're in trouble & sometimes you hug (sorry) to other kids around their neck and refuse to let go. I'm not sure if you know what a head lock really is yet!?

• You have started to bring me stuff that goes in the trash... bits of paper, anything laying on the floor, chewed up granola bar, dirty kleenex. You also throw away clean diapers. I guess you don't know the difference in clean and dirty yet.


• You got your first hair cut and now you look like a big boy! You really, really needed it though. I let it go too far. You also had your first sucker as a bribe for the hair cut.


• You love your books so much. Your favorite are the My First 100 Animals, My First 100 Words, Rip Squeak's COLORS, ABCs touch and feel, and My Daddy & I. You sit in your room and look through them for a long time and we can't sit down without getting a book in our laps!. You point to cat, dog, shark, fish, frog, spider, cow, horse, duck, bear, camel, crab, bee, snake, and sometimes the wolf and zebra. You are starting to bark at the cat though... and you think the mule, donkey, and horse are all horses... I guess that's understandable.


• You still eat just about everything which make me very happy. You don't like milk very much so that keeps our septic tank full of healthy bacteria from all of the rotten milk leftover in your sippy cups. (yes, that's random I know)

• You are kind of obsessed with writing with pens. I have to hide pens because you can spot them a mile away and you just cry & beg for them and I cannot handle that...

• You are just growing and growing and growing. Everyday I look at you and find something new you are doing by yourself or something new you have learned. You understand so many things that we tell you even if you don't do alot of talking back. Your legs are getting longer and you can really tell when you are in just a diaper.
