16 months old and only 8 months of written life entered into the baby book. Tsk Tsk. I am so not good at that. Organizing. Planning. I think I need to work on that.
Soooooooooo, I just thought I would jot down a few things about my sweet little boy:
He loves to eat bananas. He has just started with PB&J sandwiches (thanks to Karyn) about 2 weeks ago. I have given them to him 3 times now and he seems to be ok with them. Mostly licking off the peanut butter from the bread.
Cookies, crackers, cheese, yogurt, watermelon, apples–though I cut apples into little pieces and he shoves them all into his mouth and eventually they all come back out. I am thinking he is just sucking the juice out. Hmmm
Cheetos, graham crackers, ice cream, yes..I do let him have a few of these items…pretty strict but feel a “slight slacking” since Rylynn.
He loves to books. He will sit and “read”. He loves all sizes of ball. Great arm that kid has. He actually likes to throw all toys like he does balls.
He likes to wear ball caps like daddy. He loves to put on shoes–any type. Any person’s.
He hates a diaper change. He hates when I wipe his face or wipe his nose.
He loves to play horsey. And slide and climb on his indoor jungle gym. And slide down the crib mattress propped up against the wall (thanks to his daddy). The mattress that will be his sisters. He loves to climb on the couch. And the kitchen table (we are working on that–having him not climb on the table).
He loves baths. And hiding in his cupboard. He loves taking the towels that are hanging on the oven handle and throw them on the ground.
He has 5 teeth. He knows where his nose is and where your nose is. And his sister’s nose (poor girl). He is learning eyes and ears…slowly.
He is learning sign language and says/signs “More” and “Eat” and “book” and is pretty good and “help” and is working on “yes”…along with several others.
He says “Mana” for banana. He says “no, mamma, dadda, shoes, nose.” He can tell you the cow says “mooooooo” (which sounds a bit like a cow with a southern drawl), and that the piggy says “oink oink” (more like “sniff sniff”.) For a dog, he makes a “panting” face.
He loves to jibber jabber. He loves to “hold” his baby sister and put his face up to her to “kiss” her and then squeezes her toes. And slaps her head. We are trying to teach him the two finger touch method like they show you at the Aquarium!
He loves to find rocks (”balls”) and pick up sticks. He loves the outdoors. The playground is his stomping ground.
He will turn on the t.v. (unless I close and lock the doors to the entertainment center). He will put things in the broken DVD part of the VHS/DVD player.
Most recently, he has started stacking things such as cushions and boxes (I think Santa is going to bring him some blocks!)
There are so many things to write about in the life of Kayle. I need to document this. Oh sure, I did enter things on the calendar. I have that filled out at least!
