Where has the time gone? This month I think I have to officially say Caleb is not a baby anymore. I think we moved from baby to toddler a long time ago but I can't deny it anymore!
Here's some new things he's been doing since turning one:
- Climbed out of crib
- Climbs on top of pretty much everything and hams it up for attention.
- he tries to say: DaDa, MaMa, Tiger, Gracie, Juice, No No, Uh Oh, Doggy, I love you, trash and a whole lot of really fast jiberish
- Jumping, He may not actually get off the ground but he tries
- Dancing, He pushes the barn on the fridge and starts dancing or the trains of his Thomas book and then he looks around to make sure someone else is watching and dancing with him
- Loves playing chase, with Tiger and Gracie or Momma or anyone who will chase him. If i had the energy he'd do it all day long!! He just cracks up and squeals!
- LOVES reading!! He climbs into my lap with a book at least 20 times a day, clapping his little hands together asking for more and we have to read the book at least 2 times each time. His favorites are Raindrop Plop, Where the Wild Things Are, Over in the Meadow, and his new favorite is his autograph book from Disney with his pictures in it. The problem is there are no words so the reader gets to make them up.
- He plays with more of a purpose now with his toys: building, stacking. When it gets quite, I go looking to see what he's into, a lot of times he's on the floor reading his books. Don't get me wrong the other times its quite he is into something he's not supposed to be into!!
- Drinking milk and then letting it run down his chin all over himself!
- Pointing at things. Its funny when he points and then signs more. At least I don't have to say more what?
- Opens pantry and gets snacks out and brings them to me asking for "more"
- Throwing his diapers away in the trash. Even though a lot of times he runs to the trash with his diaper yelling "trash" and once getting to the trash can tries to make a break for it and run off with the diaper. But he always claps for himself after he throws it away.
- Getting behind me and pushing my legs to go where he wants me to go, usually his playroom or the kitchen to eat
- Blowing kisses
- Playing Peekaboo Barn on my phone
- Hamming it up and being silly!! And making everyone around laugh!
What a BIG boy! Isn't is sad/exciting? I love that they are healthy growing boys, but I miss my tiny baby.
ReplyDeleteSince y'all gave that barn to Bennett..he pushes it ALL the time and starts dancing too!!!
