Yes, some days seem longer than others. Today started with a hunt to find summer shoes for Jack. Oh wait let me back up. This little event happened before we left...
Yup, every tissue.
After much searching, we found some shoes at the children's thrift store. I was quite tired from our outing and was ready for lunch and a nap. Jack had other things in mind. He decided to pull every disinfectant wipe out of the tub while I was cleaning up his diaper. Sigh*
After dinner, I decided to make some chocolate chip cookies for my hubby (his favorite). Jack loves it when I use the Kitchen Aid so that kept us busy for a while. I got Jack all ready for bed and headed into the bathroom to clean up yet another diaper. This is what I saw when I came out...
"Oh wait I missed some!"
"These are good, Mom."
He was quickly shoveling in a huge cookie that was cooling on the rack. So, my day started and ended in toddler curiosity. Oh boy, I think I need another nap or maybe just a cookie. ;-)
18 month update:
He is growing like a weed. He is in the same size shoe as his cousin who is 5 months older. He communicates quite a bit with sign language but has also started to repeat words. He can say bubble, book, ball, pop and ice which is pronounced "eye-sh". It is very cute!
He is a very sweet snuggly boy. He will give us random kisses which are interesting because his nose gets involved, kind of like a snuffle kiss! He still waves and flirts with everyone he sees during outings. He also will say hello or bye and is usually mesmerized by other children.
He loves to run and twirl and dance to music. He also loves anything electronic or that has a key. He has to investigate every hole he finds and he will copy a lot of what we do. He keeps us on our toes but we love him to pieces! I can't believe we have less than 6 months before he has a sibling. I want to enjoy our one on one time while it is here. We love you buddy!
