Halloween

A week before Halloween we went to the ward's party and our little Tiger wanted to run around the parking lot the whole time.  As usual, whatever he wants is fine with us.




Halloween night we all split a Kit Kat after dinner.  He of course loved it.  Then he watched the trick-or-treaters while Hot Cup handed out candy.  I think he wondered why everyone but him got to run around outside so I took him out for a little bit, which he loved.


Here's Hot Cup with the pumpkin he carved waiting for more trick-or-treaters :)


And here's our little guy in his costume in daylight.


He doesn't pose quite as willingly as he did last year.

11 Months Later

In November I shared a video showing how much our little guy loves watching My First Signs.

Here he's watching the same thing only it's just last month. He's excited from the moment he knows I'm navigating there.



The password is the same as before. If you need it just let me know :)

Videos of Fun With Daddy

I don't take enough videos, and I'm really bad about sharing the ones I do take. I'd like a better way to share them than just uploading to blogger. Vimeo probably isn't it but it's what I did this time.

Type in the name of this blog (not this specific post, the blog), no spaces, as the password to watch any of them.

Note: They wouldn't play for me in Chrome. In Firefox I had to press play twice. I haven't tried Internet Explorer.

Running from - and toward - daddy.

A Few Little Projects

In January I made my little guy a board book.  And now I've made another :)  This one has pictures of his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.  And our little family is on the covers.  I made both the covers front covers so I wouldn't have to pick which family to have be first.  I realized this would be odd for him and I think he is quite confused about it.  Maybe after a little more time?


Here's the pictures from the covers. 13.5 months vs 18 months. I love my boys!


Also, I got a laminator and have laminated Mormonads and made texture cards (I have a few more to do, there are so many textures - it seems this could go on forever if I let it). My boy seems to enjoy them both.

1.5 Years

He brought me his beach chair and
wanted me to set it up for him.  It was
about snacktime so I set up a snack for
him too while he watched a little TV.
He's 18 months already!

The nurse measured him as 22 lbs 15 oz, 33.5 inches.

He's a happy and energetic little boy :)

He loves going outside and brings me his shoes all the time - his way of requesting we go outside.

He loves walking on dry leaves.

He loves cats and dogs and birds and cars and buses and trucks and airplanes and bikes. Basically any animal or anything that goes.

He points at everything.

He waves at everything.

It's fun to see how he's recognizing that he's learning. If he wants me to tell him what something is he either points to it or holds it high above his head.  He does this all the time, even when he knows what it is I think he likes me to say it :)

Playing with soap foam is serious business.
He knows how to let me know what he wants.

He wears his hat indoors sometimes.

He scribbles on the magna doodle.

He likes to put little things in their slots.  Like the magna doodle pen in it's slot, books back on the shelf (although you'd never know it from the books all over our floor), Shape-O shapes, Stacking Train Blocks, etc.

He says 'yum yum' or 'num num' when he wants me to know he's eating something tasty or when he's pretending to eat. (It's the noise I make when I'm trying to convince him something tastes good.)

I wonder when he'll decide to copy my 'yuck yuck'.

He imitates our facial expressions and noises.  And we try to imitate his.

He is only napping once a day now.  Which I'm sure is directly linked to his increased love of his pacifier.  But we're working on that and he's doing better.

He's tons of fun.

He gives the best hugs.

I love my little guy!

Playing in our first fort.


Enjoying food: chicken nuggets (the couple times he's had them he's liked them, but he more often refuses to taste), pizza, and green beans.

Friday

My mom came over Friday and we had a lot of fun :)  I brought the camera when we went to the park and took some overexposed pictures.  They're cute but I wish I hadn't messed them up.
    
And in the evening she stayed with our baby so Hot Cup and I could go out for a while. I'm told they had fun. We did too.
