Year 4, Day 142

We had a picnic on the floor today AND we took baby brother for a walk outside.  Apparently, the weather is supposed to get cold again, so we’re taking advantage of the nice days.

New Year’s Day

Park day!  It was so nice outside so we met up with our friends at the park to play and go for a walk.  Oh, and today was the day that you started helping sort the laundry.  You were able to correctly tell us which socks belonged to whom!

Year 2, Day 70

You and dad walking the mall.  Walking!  Dad said that you were on all about the walk and focused until you got food.  After dinner, he said that you were unruly and hard to control.  That sound a little more like my Basher. 🙂

Halloween!

Today is also daylight savings time, so we tried to keep you awake and alert as long as possible so the transition wouldn’t be tough for you.  Grandma got you this Halloween costume… which you got sick on, so we didn’t wear it out to the mall.  We let you ‘cry-it-out’ for the first time during nap time today.  That probably won’t happen again.

Day 328

Dad’s home and life is good!  Back to normal today 🙂 Dad picked you up from school, and you almost didn’t know what to do with yourself.

Your walking pace has definitely picked up, to the point of almost running.  However, your balance hasn’t really gotten all that much better.  You’re getting better with sharing and putting things back in their spot.  I keep waiting for your baby babble to turn into words, which probably won’t be too far off.

Day 322

At school this morning, you walked all the way from the lobby back to your classroom all by yourself!  You were so proud of yourself, just smiling and laughing the whole way.  That was the first time you did that, but I’m sure it will become habit now.

Day 312

Sooooo, you took a nose-dive on day 311, and I’m not going to post any pictures of that.  Sometimes your feet get behind you when you’re walking… and you’ve only recently learned to walk anyway.  I know that I freaked out about it more than you did; you were fine minutes after it happened, and I was the one who was awake all night worrying.  I know that these bumps and bruises are just the beginning of you being a boy.  You were a trooper!  And today, you’ve been really happy.  And you slept all night last night (after taking an entire bottle at 9pm).

Day 307

Karate kick, take that!  You had some great energy when you came home from school today, despite having only slept for an hour during the day.  You were climbing over everything, including the activity table.

Day 305

I’m a little behind with the posting; this was from Tuesday.  You’re getting to be so good at standing and walking.  You’ve started bringing us things, like pieces of the foam mat, golf balls, and your trucks.  You do that at school, too.

Day 300

First thing after we dropped you off, you had to show Miss Janice how good you’re walking now.  She loved it!  In the afternoon, you showed your teachers how you walk to dad and me, too.

You got a bath as soon as we got home today, but something was different.  We put in a froggy padded faucet cover and some non-skid stick-ems.  Dad gave you some miniature rubber duckies to play with, and those actually kept you sitting in the bathtub.  Amazing!
