Nov 15, 2009 New Tricks (almost 17 months)
Oh the knees are aching and my back is sore. I am getting SO OLD! I am definitely a big boy now. I not only walk these days but I am running. Sure I look like I have two left feet (or as dad likes to say like i am drunk) but I can get from point a to b pretty quick these days. I like to run around in the backyard. One of my favorite things is running up and down the hill. I no longer like crawling up stairs. I reach for the arm rail and climb up and down stairs (of course with assistance). Today Mr. and Mrs. Woods were here and mommy opened the door for Mr. Woods to take me outside and mom had to tell Mr. Woods to get me because I ran outside right for the stairs. I've never seen Mr. Woods run so fast!!
One of my favorite new tricks is that I will put my finger up my nose. This makes mom say "Oh Adam No. Gross." This makes me laugh which I always put my hand in my mouth when I laugh...Mmmm...salty!
My vocab includes: Mama, Dada, Day-did, Up, Nigh Nigh, Teet Teet (tweet tweet for a bird), Ticka Ticka (tickle tickle), Uh-Oh, Dah (dog), tink tink (twinkle twinkle), gleek gleek (quack quack), duh (duck).
I love to blow kisses. I also shake my head no and yes. If I'm mad at mama I will talk gibberish at her and shake my head no very adimently..she gets my point! I can also do the chicken dance. Mr. Woods taught me that. My favorite show right now is My Friends Tigger and Pooh. That silly bear!
I've been getting in a lot of trouble these days for throwing food. I will grab my food and hold it over the side of the highchair and shake my head no. Mama will say "That's right Adam. No No." Then I will put the food on my plate and shake my head Yes. And mama will say "That's right Adam. Yes. Good boy." Then I chuck my food onto the floor and mama or dada puts me in time out. Ugh.
Well, I'm looking forward to the holidays coming up. I like all of the bright shiny things that I can get my hands on. Mama doesn't trust me to put them up in our house..but we'll see.
XOXO,
Adam
