More On The Boy :)

Yeah. I'm writing another post about my kid. I kinda love him a lot and hang out with him all the time, so that's what I have to talk about!

I was thinking the other day about the things he says. It seems he's learning a new word every few days or so now. He doesn't always use them in context, but usually he does. I'm writing these down here so I can come back and write them down later. I love have a record of things here, because I tend to forget things easily.

At 15 months old, Daniel says:

1. Mommy
2. Daddy
3. Shoe
4. What's this? or What's that?
5. Cookie
6. Hi
7. Hi Baby! (I say that to him when he gets up in the morning and apparently he says this around Jacob sometimes!)
8. Mine! (He and Daddy play a silly game)
9. Bubby
10. Yucky

That's all I can think of right now, but there may be a couple of other too.

He's obsessed with Honey Nut Cheerios right now. He can't seem to get enough of them. I always give him a handful at a time, and when he wants more he grins and points at the box.

He also loves cookies. Obviously. He gets them if he eats a good meal. (He did NOT get one today after lunch!) Anyway, I'm also trying to teach him to stop throwing his food on the floor. I tell him to hand it to me if he doesn't want it, because telling him to leave it on the tray sure doesn't work. Yesterday, he ate a very good lunch but still had a little leftover. He started handing everything to me. Once his tray was clear, he looked at me, smiled and said, "Cookie!?" Um. When did that boy get so darn smart!?

His darn nose has been running with green snot AGAIN since last week. It started on the day of his doctor's appointment, so I was able to talk to him about it. We're trying children's Zyrtec right now. He said it's more than likely that he has allergies. I'm just glad that he's not coughing.

He still doesn't sleep well. I love him so so much, but I'm so tired of getting up at night. Do the math. I've probably been woken in the middle of the night between 800-1000 times since Daniel was born. That's no joke. How do I even function?? Last night he was up twice. I hope it's teeth. At least then it would explain it.

I also have to pull his crib out from the wall now and angle it when he naps and sleeps at night. His room does not have a good set up for a crib and now when he wakes up he reaches over and yanks on his mini blinds. So far he's broken 2 slats off. Now with it angled he can't reach it.

He also started this hilarious dance this week. Hopefully I can get it on video sometime. He shuffles his feet and twirls around in circles. Totally cracks us up!

We had a great visit yesterday with Karin. (Daniel's great grandma!) She came to visit from Indiana!



He's wearing his new outfit from her today!
