These last few weeks have been such a blur. We have been so busy and it seems like we are
always coming from or going somewhere. Matthew has swimming lessons a few nights a
week and with the weather being nicer we are getting out more often. These last few weeks have brought about some
changes and with that I can do more things than before!
I have a set of stack able rings that have become my “go to”
toy. I love playing with them and
stacking them. Once in a while I will
stack them correctly and sometimes I don’t.
I just love to pick up the rings and see which ones go where on the
stand. My favorite ring (and toy for
that matter) is the large blue ring. I
will hold onto that ring for long periods of time. At night I will clean up out my play pen
lifting toys and moving them, but all the while I will have my blue ring in one
hand. I am attached to my ring and love
it a lot. I love it so much that I will
even give up my blanket for the ring… which is saying a lot!
Butter is gone and I miss her. We have spoken to her a bunch and even used facetime on my mom's phone. She is still
the same Butter! She coos at me and I
screech back. Maybe she can visit soon!
My grandfather is coming in two weeks to visit us! Matthew is of course excited to see him and
so are my parents, but what everyone is forgetting is that I will be the one
that will be spending the most time with him.
For a whole week my parents will be at work and Matthew at school…
during that time it will be ME that gets Poopa all to myself! Walks, cuddles, and naps!!! It is really exciting. Gee Gee isn’t coming this visit, but maybe
she can come out for her own visit some other time!
I can’t wait to show my Poopa all that I can do. I am walking way better (with shoes now) and
much farther. Typically I can spend many
minutes walking around the house before slipping or if we are out side I can
walk around the yard for a bit… unless I tumble down the hill. Sharing is something I can getting much
better at too! When someone says “Please?”
to me I am very willing to give you the item, but I still want it back!
My parents are starting to make me clean! AHH.
13 months old and I have to clean up my toys? And they are trying the whole “Please” and
“Thank You”???? Also according to my dad
I have outgrown the small plastic bathtub and am in the big tub like
Matthew! My mom has a different approach
and if up to her I am pretty sure I would be in the plastic tub all the way
into High School.
I am still waking up around 4:30 or 5:00 every night for a
pit stop of milk… but for the most part I am sleeping every night from 8:00 to
8:00 (except those 15 minutes in the wee hours). My babbles are starting to sound like sounds
that sound like words. Dada and Mama are
words, but Daaaa is close enough for Matthew and so on.
That is pretty much it for now.
With Love,
Colin
