What's for Dinner Tonight

Turkey burger, corn and berries

Monday, February 15, 2010

Before I forget...

You picked up my eyelash curler this morning while I was getting ready
and put it up to your eye. You looked at me " am I doing this
right" I can't believe what you pick up on! Another note... Potty
success at bathtime again but you are so excited about blatter control
you took it a step further and peed while I was drying you off after
bath. Guess we have a long way to go. No rush, you are still a baby.

IN THE POTTY!!!!!!

Okay so I could have put this in the last post, but it warrants it's own.

Last night when you were in the tub you looked at me and signed "potty" I took you out and put you on your little potty and you went! You giggled as you realized what you were doing and when you were done had a huge smile on your face. After that, back to the tub.

Sorry no picture to go along with this post ;)

16 Months old TODAY!!!!

My Dearest 16 Month Old,

You are another month older, wiser and faster this month. You are still loving your toothbrushes and sign with a finger across your teeth to ask for them.
You are now home with me full time and we are working on a new routine. Zipping up and down the stairs you haven't wanted to walk them just yet.

The playground slide is your favorite. You now go down by yourself and ask for MORE! right when you land. You aren't a big fan of sitting down to eat. you are just too busy it sit still. Back on Milk instead of rice milk this week and so far it seems okay.

You want to do a lot of stuff on your own but still long to be held so much. I am getting quite the arm workout most days. You love blueberries and are digging the applesauce. Peas and corn are also some favorites. You love the picture book with all the animals and also when i sniff your feet and say "P---eeee--www!" really loud. Bubbles in the bath are still a daily request and you no longer fight getting your PJs on at night because you know that you get good cuddles before bed.

Kisses,
Mama

Sicky, Drooly, Snotty

You weren't feeling so well today. I heard you coughing in your sleep so I figured today wouldn't be the best.

We watched, um some NEMO maybe? and visited Daddy at his office to bring lunch.

I snapped this shot of you as you gazed off with drool and snot running down your sweet face.  I have been working on lighting and really liked how the window light and a few stops down gave me this.

Here is to tomorrow morning. I hope you feel better. I haven't heard much coughing tonight. If not, more blueberries, nemo and some oj/carrot juice (yeah you got some today and LOVED it)

 
 

Blueberry... you might pull a Violet Beauregarde

Blueberries are you favorite as of late. You say "b bubl" to ask for them. It kinda sounds like bubble but I can tell the difference. I am your mama!

For dinner tonight it was all you ate. At this rate you are going to turn into an antioxidant or swell like Violet did in my childhood favorite "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" I think we almost broke that VHS with the wear and tear of daily watchings.

Latch

Miles is so curious about the small things.  He spends times on latches and hatches, drawers and doors.  Here is a quick video of him working on the latch on his push-car.

A Perfectly Ordinary Day

The bike

I mentioned that we have been taking bike rides. Here is are shots of
him in his get up. He is so cute in the ride. He points out all the
barking dogs.

As the weather warms up we can go on longer rides without freezing.

Bad habit

Sometimes Miles gets to watch yo gabba or something while in the
backseat. He looks like such a little boy holding the iPhone zoned out
