Firsts

We had a lot of first times today. As he approaches 15 months his language and understanding skills have really taken off. Today we shared a sandwich, he used he new top teeth to take actual bits from my sandwich. And today he helped me in the kitchen by recycling a plastic bottle for me and he helped make muffins. He helped put the muffin cups in the muffin pan, poured in the water, helped mix and put the mix in the muffin cups. what a big boy!
I think I under estimate his motor skills and understanding sometimes but from now on I am going to try to include him in more things and talk to more as big boy rather than a baby. I am amazed on how quickly he is growing up.
Big hugs and kisses buddy.

First Painting

My little artist. He amazed the family center employee girls with his talent and cute looks. He did a really great job using the brush and paints. When I took the brush away he used his fingers and hands and even decided he would make painting music by drumming the paint on!

Splashing around

First time experiencing puddles! He loved the splashing sound. It was cold but I didn't want to deny him the experience! He cried so hard when I told him it was time to go but I figured a couple of hours was long enough:)

Turkey Program at Oak Openings

Closely studying the pine cone he found. When he was done studying it he tried to bury it the grass.

Keeping up with the big kids. Ahh isn't he just adorable...I can hardly take it.

So we squeezed into a preschool program. When I registered for the program all it said was preschool and I thought well if it kicks me out when I enter his age then we of course won't go but it didn't so we went and I took my chances. As soon we entered the building the women asked how old he was and I told her one I thought she was going to turn us away. But she was nice enough and didn't but if he started crying we were to leave. I told her that he wouldn't cry and would be a perfect boy and of course my angle was! He fit right in with the big kids and I think even behaved better. He enjoyed doing the craft, hearing the story and absolutely loved the hike. A few of the adults complemented on his behavior and his sweet demeanor. I said thank you and said he is just such special little soul.
Again buddy I love you with everything I am...

He is a walking boy

It is official you are walking! I can't believe it. I have waited so long for this moment. You are no longer mommies baby you are a big boy and you love your knew walking skill. We are going to be taking a lot of snowy winter walks.
You are also just talking up a storm and repeating every word we tell you. You can now count up to three and you love to say Hi Bubba and give mommy kisses on the lips like daddy. Big Huggs my little love.

Our Weekend

Being a goofy boy

Some day you are going to read this my little love and think wow mommy you were just a big ball of sappiness and your right but I just can't express how amazing I think you are and how proud i am to be your mother. We had a fun this weekend even though everyone was sick, we still got out and played and this weekend you really started taking some strides towards walking. And tonight you especially made mommy proud and almost cry tonight you played the piano at Amy and Brian's house. You placed your cute little fingers over the keys like a true pianist. Every time you made a beautiful sound you cheered and when you didn't you tried until did.
