Read him a few of my old baby books, really liked "I Can Do It".

Didn't eat much breakfast, til I made pancakes. Scarfed a whole one right down!

Was sleepy this morning. Was in the kitchen, not making a sound, so Geoff went to check on him. He was crawled up on the bunk, laid down, sucking his fingers with his feet in the air. : )

Wasn't eating dinner very well, so I said, "Do you want to eat your eggs, or are you gonna go to bed?" He ran right to his bedroom door, lol!

Visited Nanny Green this afternoon.

Gives me Eskimo kisses at bedtime. : )

July 28th, 2012

Helped Mummy wash our cars this morning : ) Ok, so he splashed in the bucket of suds more than anything maybe. ; )

Saw Grampy Andy on his Harley

Grampy (Mervin) asked him if he was all ready for bed, and he shook his head "no"!

Grammy gave him a "look" when he spit his water, and he hung his head, LOL!

Climbed up with Daddy to snuggle on the couch & laid right on top of him : )

July 27th, 2012

Wanted to see Daddy sooo bad this morning (didn't get to see him last night b/c he was away)! He woke up when his phone went off, at 6 am. : S Didn't want Daddy to go, was even trying to bribe him with kisses! Was nursing when he heard his truck going, and started waving. : )

July 26th, 2012

Got his 1st Tonka truck today! : ) Loves the rumble the wheels make on the floors.

Went to get the dogs, Brendan wanted to wave bye-bye to the chickens!

Every time we go to Rose & Pop's or the Dollar Store, he thinks I have dulse when I come out. Puts his hands out & "asks" for some, lol! So I went back in and got some for him.

Picked up a Pampers Points sticker I had left by the computer, took it out & put it in the garbage.


July 25th
Was being very quiet behind the loveseat while I was mending. I said, "I hope you're not pooping in your  pants," Got up to see, and he was curled up on the floor with Po, looking out the window & sucking his fingers. Aww!

Feeling much better this morning, no fever.

Brings me my sandals, and, giggling, puts them on me. :)

Meowed all day, lol. :)

Spotted a robin, was very interested in him.

July 19th, 2012

I was hanging laundry, and B. was playing by the swing set. I noticed something in his hand, and yelled "NOOO!!", but by the time I reached him, he had already taken a bite--of DOG POOP!!!
AGH!! Thanks, Shelby. He cried when I told him what it was, lol. Washed him all up, brushed his teeth, sterilized his toothbrush, and drank lots of water.

Got a high fever in the afternoon, lasted all night. Gone by morning. Better get some worm meds, at least!

July 18th, 2012

Saw a kitty on the beach at SC. He came & snuggled on our blanket. :)

Reached up onto the table to steal a grape. :)

Got another tooth  today--FINALLY!! L. eye tooth. Right one is almost through.

2 nights in a row, knock on wood: Went through new bedtime routine, nursed, rocked, and I said, "Do you want to get in bed, or rock with Mummy?" He pointed at his bed, I put him in, handed him his blanket, he laid down, and went to sleep!!!!!! AMAZING!!

Pointed at the light & said "La, La, La?"

June 27th, 2012

I picked him a little rose off Mum's bush--it just started blooming yday or today. He walked around sniffing it.

Often points at things he wants to smell outside, esp. blankets/clothes on the line, b/c I showed him once.

Also sniffs when there's a breeze, as if to say, "Ahhh!" :)

Visiting Nanny G. at the hospital this afternoon, felt cool air coming out a vent, put his nose right up to it & sniffed. :)
