1. He LOVES to be outside! He loves to see the "vroom vroom's" which means any motorized vehicle. He likes to ride on the tractor with PaPa Ken when he helps farm but he's not a fan of the combine. It's too high! He helps Grandma Pam put clothes on the line (or rips them off is more accurate), helps pull weeds, eats dirt.. oh that's only when no one is looking! ;) He uses a broom 3X his size to "sweep" our driveway. He's quite the little helper. :)
2. He's an animal lover. He squeals with delight every time he sees a dog and especially loves to see our neighbor's dog Rya. He likes to see lots of other animals too but dogs are his favorite. He's really starting to enjoy the zoo, and he loves the monkeys! He loves to ride human "horseys" too!
3. He's clean and organized like his mommy and daddy. He will put things back where they go without us asking him and he's always trying to help us and help my Mom clean. He likes to "help" by throwing things away too, and lots of times things that are not trash. ;) He wants all the doors shut every where he goes too so he's forever pulling doors shut and trying to turn the lights on or off.
4. He is a very picky eater! Not such a cute fact when it comes to meal time but we're hoping it's a phase. You almost can't go wrong with a grilled cheese sandwich, eggs, "CHEESE" (he has to scream it when he says it) :), any sort of bread, cheerios, baby goldfish and unfortunately any "junk" food that he gets in very limited quantities (that I know of anyway). ;)
5. He's starting to say a variety of words now (finally). He says "MORE" (which he's been saying for a while), "DA" (not dad just da), "Momma" (usually only when he's sad), "Cheese", "Shoes" (he LOVES shoes), "Ball" (he also LOVES balls), "CAR", "in there?", "vroom vroom" (for car or truck or whatever), "down" for our basement, "teeth" (he likes to brush his teeth too), "water", "coat", "travis", "key", "outside", my mom says he says "bird", I've heard him say "dog" a few times, and he's said "night night" a couple times. He covers his face with both hands and then says "BAAA" expecting you to jump with surprise that he was hiding there. So cute! He also plugs his cute little nose when he goes stinky or when something stinks. Oh, and he will hide his bath toy with a washcloth and has 3 places I have to look and say "in there? no not in there." before we "find" it under the washcloth. When he thinks something is really funny he hits his knee, only for the "knee slappers" and when he's being silly he crinkles his nose and makes a goofy face.
He's starting to repeat what we say and he's picking up new words quickly now.
6. He loves to blow kisses and makes the cutest "muah" noise when he does it. He's also waving at anyone and everyone that he sees now and he especially loves kids; he gets along well with my 12 year old brother, his cousins, and all of my friends kiddos. He also loves to take his and everyone else's (including his little friends) socks off!
7. He has to pray before every meal and if anyone doesn't have their hands folded he points at them until they do.
8. He can already throw a ball like a major league pitcher! MLB here he comes! Besides balls, some of his favorite "toys" are the swiffer, the remotes, cell phones, getting on the computer... anything that's NOT a toy. :) He's also a master at going UP the stairs, not so much down them yet. And he climbs on any and everything now.
9. He is such a cuddler, the sweetest thing ever. He wants his Mommy when he's hurt, and will say "ahhh" for ouch but when Mommy kisses it it's all better. He loves to play with Mommy's hair any time he's sleepy. Daddy is definitely the fun guy though, he screams "DA" when we pull in our driveway every afternoon!
10. He puts his finger at the side of his nose and says "shhhh" when he thinks someone is sleeping.
11. He loves to go "down" to our basement, it's his latest thing. He rides his 4-wheeler down there and he likes to run around the pool table and throw the little balls for foosball on the table. He'll say "DOWN" again and again and stand by the door until we take him down!
12. Last but not least... he LOVES guitar hero! He has his own Elmo guitar that he will jam and play along with Grandpa Ken and uncle Travis. I think he says "guitar" too. He never will play WITH me though, he wants to play the real guitar when I try to play. He's quite the little dancer and loves music!
