Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday (a day late)

The cheapest, cleanest paint there is

All you need is 3 things...a bucket, a brush and some hose water and TA DA you have painting!

My personal opinion, the best kind of painting there is. No mess, no clean up and fun fun fun! He loved it to say the least!

Hasn't quite mastered his painter's etiquette yet...

13 Months

13 Months

Our baby boy is SO big now! We are loving watching the transformation from baby to toddler and seeing his little personality, preferences and silliness grow by the day. I feel so lucky to spend each and every day watching him grow and change.
So here are a few of our new things for the month...


He is really stable walking or better yet running it seems now! He is also climbing on/off things some things even that aren't really climbing approved too.

Little Gym

Food- peanut butter and jelly sandwich, egg (whites and yolk), hot dog, grapefruit and  mandarin oranges. Went through a little bit of a picky (welcome to being a toddler stage), but getting better as long as he CAN do it!

 Eats with a fork on his own

New words (or ones that have changed)...lots more talking and attempts at communication-
go
ruff ruff (dog)
all da (all done)
Day-see (daisy)
tep (step)
yes 
Mi Mi (Milo, kitty) often sounds more like Nigh Nigh
K-tee (kitty)

And finally after months and months of signing with him, he did his first sign back to us. YAY! Now he signs-
more (constantly)
all done
eat (done a couple of times)
light

He can stand from sitting on his own

Claps, also his sign for he wants music on on or you to sing to him

Lowered the crib to the lowest setting...cutest thing in the morning he wakes up and stands in the corner closest to his cd player and claps and dances

Had thrush for the first time...Boo...but we survived it quite easily thankfully

Self weaned off nursing other than morning right after he wakes up still doing

Follows simple directions- "bring me a book" and is making connections with things...do you want to go outside? and he will bring you his shoes

We participated in our 1st research study at UC Davis...very interesting for me being on the participant side for the first time

Can climb down stairs independently

Really starting to enjoy reading and will bring books to you

Loves art...painting drawing, playdough

And is still in love with all things music- listening, dancing, playing instruments...daily or better yet all day long

Began "stomping" his feet to be silly or when excited

And just today went down his slide all on his own

This month was filled with birthday celebrations, a trip to lake port, pear/apple/berry picking, welcoming a new friend (Ryken) into the world, playing at the park...and so much more!
