So, what is X up to these days????- He is quite the talker lately. There are still many phrases that he just says randomly, but more and more we have the ability to have some sort of a conversation with him. He likes to answer questions and is trying to sing songs sometimes. Unfortunately "NO" (accompanied by spitting) has become a frequent word in his vocabulary. We're working on that.
- X loves to look at pictures of people he knows, say who it is, and what they like (ex - looks at a picture of my dad, says "grandpa" then "grandpa likes old cars". I've made him his own photo album with various friends and family that he thinks is fabulous!
- Our once very good vegetable eater has started to realize that there is stuff out there that tastes better than those old green beans. Slowly X is becoming more resistant to eating vegetables. He still likes a variety of fruits so I guess that's something. Overall he is still eating well but seems to be more interested in playing and talking than eating lately.
- X is still sleeping in his crib although we just set up his twin mattress on the floor in his room in hopes of getting him used to it being there. Not quite sure how we're going to do the transition, but I'm not in a rush. We are calling the twin bed his "big boy cribby". He has already taken a liking to the pillow on the bed and frequently carries it around the house and then sits on it. So, basically at this point he has no idea what the true meaning of the twin mattress and pillow are!
- Our boy is still such a love. He gives lots of hugs and wants to snuggle up with you. I love it when he just walks up to me and says "Oh Mommy, wove you" (with a drawn out inflection) gives me a hug and puts his head on my shoulder.
- X is fascinated with zippers. He loves the footed pjs with a zipper. Lately at night though I have to go in and re-zip his jammies because he's unzipped them while falling asleep. X is also very interested in opening and closing doors. He's figuring out how to turn the knobs and goes in and out of rooms playing peek-a-boo with whoever is in there (or just himself!) X locked me out of the house for the first time a few weeks ago. I went out the front door to get the mail and he came up and turned the lock on the storm door. Thankfully I was able to get back in the house through the garage. He didn't understand what he had done, but this knob turning and door locking thing has opened up a whole other safety issue for us.
- Favorite toys right now are books, trains, stuffed puppies, the new kitchen he got for his birthday, and random household items that he manages to snatch away!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY XAVIER!!!!
