So our little rumbling stumbling man is earning his stripes with boo-boo after boo-boo! Right now he has a bruise in the middle of his cheek - I have NO idea how he even got that one! And one on his forehead. That one wasn't a very hard boo-boo, but it must have hit perfectly on a vein or something b/c it bruised almost immediately. He also still has a little bruise under his chin from when my Dad & Shelia were here. He's our little bruiser!! I'd say we average a spill at least once every hour-ish all day every day. Kelly's much better at "distracting" him out of his meltdown from a boo-boo than I am! But we've seen our fair share of crocodile tears since the walking began!
For the take out toys....it just goes to show you never know what he's going to be drawn to. It's always the most random things! This week it was a Taco Bell side of rice bowl and lid. He literally carried it around the house holding it over his head, then dropping it and laughing hysterically for over an hour!! Then today it was a to go cup, lid and straw from Firehouse. First he just wanted to mimic me and "drink" from the straw - which meant him biting on it. Once I drank it all, I showed him how to take the straw out and put it back in, so he sat by me on the sofa for again over an hour which is UNHEARD of and played with the cup, lid and straw!! He never sits still for more than the blink of an eye! If that!
He's also learning body parts - mainly nose, ear, etc. He'll point to yours and grab or touch his own.
He's also going crazy with the sign language! It was HILARIOUS today! We were at the grocery store, and when the cashier picked the milk up out of the basket - he did the sign for milk then more! We were cracking up! I need to expand the sign language while he's "in the zone" with it right now! And he's SUCH a flirt! The cashier at the grocery store was like he's working me over talking to me with those eyes and flashing those rosy cheeks at me!
For 2 weeks, we have a new weekend routine (while the weather cooperates - 75 degrees and sunny). We've been meeting my friend Darcy at Lake Grapevine with her dog Rocky to go for a 4.5 mile walk. I think since I've walked with him in the stroller since he was literally 1 week old - he still loves it. It's like his "zen" time to just hang and enjoy the ride. I better enjoy it while I can. I know eventually he'll want to be walking everywhere on his own.
He's still jibber jabbering like crazy too! But now more and more, he actually says words or at least "parts of words". Like today when I said, here's your cheese - he said "eese". At the grocery store, he was looking at the apples, so Kelly said "apple" and he actually repeated it back. The other day he was watching his "Your Baby Can Read" video, and the video said say "No" and he did! It was so funny b/c Kelly and I were standing in the kitchen and we both snapped our heads and looked at each and said at the same time - "Did you hear that?! He said NO!". Of course, I'm cool with him not learning the meaning of that word for a really long time! :)
I've been really surprised he isn't saying more words that we use every day like milk, more, kiss, etc but who am I to speculate how a new little mind forms?! It's like his 1st word besides Mama and Dada being bubbles of all things!!! Which he still says at least every few nights in the bathtub when he wants me to blow bubbles.
Well...I think that's about it for this week!
