We attempted to go to a small neighborhood restaurant for dinner tonight, but had to get our food to go when we discovered they didn't have any highchairs. Oops. Someone didn't seem to mind the field trip, and was a goofy fella for the rest of the evening. He's 14 months old today!
It's been awhile since I posted about some of the things Dex can do and say, so I figured I'd write about that.
New words: Bus, hat, eat (while pointing at the high chair, or a picture of one in his book), cookie (when offered a cookie or looking at cookie monster) and hot (which means lots of things, including lights).
The last couple of morning's he's called for 'mama' and 'dada' when he wakes up
He's really good at pulling apart big lego blocks, or doing more detailed things with his hands
Changing diapers while standing up isn't necessary anymore. He's learned to chill out and it's no longer a struggle most of the time.
He can pick the letter S out of a lineup. Lately if I wear a shirt with words on it, he picks out all of the S's.
Bathtime is very important, and he doesn't usually want to get out. I'll drain all the water out of the tub, and he'll still scooch to the far wall and try to hold on to the tub!
Here are some cute pictures from Monday and Tuesday.
After 2 nights of sleeping through the night, Dex decided to skip his nap on Saturday, and have a full on meltdown for 3 straight hours, and all through the night. We think it was a combo of belly issues that all the screaming just amplified, but who knows. We were just as miserable as he was!
The rest of the weekend was happy, and here are some highlights:
Playing with his new giant rubber dinosaur, watching Sesame Street up close, going to Lollypop Farm, playing in Grandpa Matt's barn, riding his dumptruck around the house, and making a blueberry mess and leaving his mark on Dan. And a cute video of him and one of his blankets.
Naaaah, not possible!
I'd intended to put up a lengthy post tonight, but then my computer alerted me that it had 7 viruses. 3 hours later, they're gone, but I'm tired. :( Thank goodness Dex goes to sleep at the same time each night with no issues. Knock on wood. We've been able to put him down between 8 and 8:15 for the last few weeks, even with the time change. Yahoo!
