The Cute Things My Kiddo Does

Daniel amazes me. I just feel like all of a sudden he's learning so many things. He doesn't say a lot. Well...he DOES say a lot, but it's in Daniel language. He does have a few words, but he doesn't really use them consistently. He understands a lot though. I feel like he does something new every day. I figured that it's about time for me to document some of those things.

My very favorite thing right now is that he is OBSESSED with brushing his teeth. He loves it! One day last week I was walking through the bathroom with him and he got really agitated when we walked out. I went back in with him and he reached for his toothbrush. I asked him if he wanted to brush his teeth and he got this huge grin on his face. Now each night after I put his jammies on I say, "Now we're going to go brush your teeth!" He gets super excited and walks to the bathroom. I sing the "Brush Your Teeth" song while we do it and he grins from ear to ear!

Although, yesterday while I was changing his diaper around lunch time, he grabbed his hair brush. I asked if he was going to brush his hair? All he heard was "brush". I put him down and he ran to the bathroom door and started shaking it. (We have accordion style bathroom doors). Then turns around and made me pick him up. Yep. So we had to brush his teeth. Silly boy!

Let's see. If we ask if he wants to eat, he scurries over to his high chair.

If we ask if he wants to go bye bye he goes to our shoe bin, opens the lid and retrieves his shoes. I'm also fairly certain that he says shoes. Sometimes he goes to get them even if we aren't going anywhere. He must think if he gets them, then surely we'll take him somewhere!

He dances and it's stinking adorable. Anytime he hears music he stops what he's doing to listen. Either his feet start tapping or he stands up and bops up and down.

He plays "Peek-a-Boo"! Both by hiding and then popping out and by covering his eyes and pulling them away! We say, "Where's Daniel?" and he covers his eyes and then peeks with this huge smile on his face.

If I say, "There's the mailman!" or "The mail is here!" He runs to the window and peeks out at the mailbox. Then he helps me get it. Today the mail came while he was napping, but I waited for him to get up. It's our special routine. :)

There are so many more things, but those are some of my favorites. It's so fun to watch his learn and grow. It's still amazing to me that he's 14 months old! He's pretty much the best little boy a Mommy could ever hope for. :)
