Peekaboo

K plays Peekaboo with dada

April 28, 2014

This little guys want to walk so badly. He's crawling all over, pulling up on low objects (or people), and trying to stand from a crawling position. He very effectively gets into a bear crawl like he's going to stand, but he doesn't have the core strength or balance to do it yet. Two days ago he took his very first assisted steps. I held his hands and he moved his feet all by himself. In the past, I've put his feet on mine and walked, but now he understands the mechanics of walking, yay! Yesterday he was taking a huge step with his right foot and a normal sized step with his left. Its so cute to watch those little tiny walking feet.

Ahoy Ladies!

Yesterday The Scoot informed me that T was at the top of the stairs shouting "Ahoy Ladies!" Over the last couple of days I've heard him singing the "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" theme song and amazingly, I caught him on camera ... performing ... looking right at me! Amazing! In case you're wondering, the lyrics actually say "mateys" not "ladies"

At the end I was trying to get him to say that I love him "a bushel and a porcupine." He loves the song "A bushel and a Peck" and the answer to my question "How much do I love you" has evolved from ...
"A bushel and a peck" ... to
"A bushel and a porcupine" ... don't ask, I don't know ... and now
"A bushel and Jake and the Neverland Pirates"
Do you think he has a favorite TV show?

Scared of the dark

T: "I'm scared of the dark. I don't like being scared. It makes me sad. But I like playing with you, Dad. And I like treats like Parmesan cheese and string cheese. Those are my favorite treats."

Beaver

A middle of the night conversation with T (last week):

T (groggily): I have a beaver.
Me: What does the beaver do?
T: It makes me sick.

He told me he had a beaver several times during the night, and he was almost correct. He had a fever, poor kid.

Kisses

T: Mommy, do you like it when I give you kisses?
Me: I LOVE it when you give me kisses

Tiny teeth

Last night while hanging with the cousins, Aunt A commented on K's teeth. Teeth? What teeth? We suspected he was thinking of teething due to the crazy amount of drooling and gnawing on everything within reach. Although The Scoot noted his recent decrease in drool, neither of us thought to check for teeth. After Aunt E's comment, we took a peek and sure enough two tiny teeth have recently breached the lower gums.

Bacon in the Hall

Bacon and eggs are a favorite breakfast at our house. Me: I'm a baconaholic T: Bacon in the hall
