What's New?

JM can do so many things now ... (other than just look so darn cute!)

Some of his latest favorites are brushing his teeth (and yes, he went to the dentist and tried to bite her just like he does to his parents!), playing outside, playing outside on the slide (see picture below),







trying to get involved in whatever Clara is doing just to drive her crazy (and oh it really does! Here he swooped in on a Barbie session),



getting out a "snack" bowl and heading to the pantry to see what he can find to put in it, shrieking at the top of his lungs for no particular reason (apparently those were his first words ... sounds?... for Mike this morning), making the noise eee oooohh eeee ooooh (maybe a siren?), riding in his new "backpack" (the first and only thing Mike has ever requested that I buy at my JBF sale)



lying down on soft surfaces (like our bed when it was on the floor before we got our new carpet - oh yes, an unanticipated part of our bathroom remodel)



having his hair brushed just like his big sisters (I guess I should switch to something other than the big pink brush for him...)



and finally, writing on the dry erase board (and I hope no where else!) with dry erase markers!


He's standing on a stool for extra height, another favorite thing to do!

Those are all of the latest tricks I can think of right now- I'm sure I'm missing plenty. It's hard to keep up with all the changes these days!

Oh - one more! He started riding his tike bike a few weeks ago. I've got a video I'll try to get up soon.
