Kissing/holding Naomi with the help of Aunt Casey
A quick post to chronicle my ever changing son
at 17 months:
* Closed mouth kisses. His tiny puckered mouth is so cute. We have a bedtime/nap time routine which always ends with cuddling and singing Jesus Loves Me. Usually he just rests his head on my shoulder and gets sleepy, but this past week he has started turning his face up to mine 3-4 times to give me kisses. Nothing sweeter to melt a mommy's heart than spontaneous kisses from your little boy.
*Owen continues to LOVE infant babies. I have a feeling when his sister or brother shows up there will be no shortage of kisses and hugs, smothering is probably an appropriate word for what will happen to his sibling.
*Trying new words, Spanish and English, he will actually try saying a word when prompted by us.
*A growing list of words: cup (cuck), kick, ball (no more ba-ba...sad day), ni-night, adios, hello, gracias, all done,
Pop, Woah!, snack, and lots of new animal sounds including - horse, chicken, cow, duck. It's amazing to see how all of a sudden new sound combinations/words pop up.
*His favorite book is by Eric Carle (I can do it, can you?) which I'm going to have to purchase since it was a library book. I actually watched him search through his book basket to find it only to have to tell him we'd just returned it to the library.
* He is still OBSESSED with any kind of ball; balloons are an ever exciting sorce of entertainment. Trucks and tractors are starting to hold his interest, but he'd still take a ball over a truck any day...although watching the garbage truck with Nana every Wednesday is a highlight of the week.
*Singing is one of the sure fire ways to change a diaper easily or calm him down. His current favorite songs are: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star (and consequently the ABC Song), I may never march in the infantry, Old McDonald had a farm, the frog song.
*He has 4 molars, four teeth on top and four on bottom.
*Still in 18-24 month clothing.
*Wrestling with Daddy is becoming a nightly activity. I can tell he's starting to need this interaction with Josh daily.
