A Year and a Half

Eating Dinner
 
Such a fun month!
Snacks at the park
It has been pretty hot this month. We have met friends at Seward Park twice. You had an amazing time! You had so much fun splashing and floating around in the water. If you ask me, you were a little too brave around the water. But it was wonderful seeing you so happy in the water. You love dogs, and wanted to go say hi to every dog that walked passed! I had to chase you a couple of times and bring you back!
Playing with Grandpa
 
You started off this month hanging out with your grandpa and abu. I had to go to AP training in Bellevue and didn’t want you at day care for 11 hours. You had so much fun showing off all of your new “tricks.” And I know they enjoyed every moment they got to spend with you!
Fun with Grandma
We celebrated your second 4th of July. The day was great. You had so much fun playing with all of the kids around. Every time you hear an airplane you stop and point to the sky, so you enjoyed the air show. After a day of playing you were pretty tired by the time the fireworks. You sat in my lap and watched a few, but you were more interested in what all of the people were doing sitting on our lawn.
 
You are still quite the eater, and are loving all of the fresh fruit right now. I have to cut you off almost daily, I do not want your tummy to get upset. I am so happy you are an adventurous eater. This month you had Ethiopian food for the 1st time. You were enjoying it until I accidently gave you some spicy chicken. You were pretty much done after that!
Blueberries!
The past two weeks your dad has only had to go in to work a couple of days. We have had a fun time together. You love shouting out “Dad, Dad, DAD” from across the room. We are so lucky we get so spend so much time together. You babble quite a bit and repeat words and sounds we make.  We are getting excited for you to talk. I hope it is soon! Your last molar is finally on its way in. I am hoping that tomorrow you will wake up and the drool will be gone. You look so much cuter when there is not drool running down your belly!
You are still having tantrums when we tell you no. Today you got mad at yesterday because I wouldn’t let you run around with a fork. You also cry when someone leaves the room and you don’t want them to. You look so sad, but then you turn it off and start laughing!
Today you played outside with Frida while I did the dishes. You are quite content to dig in the dirt and chase Frida around the yard. You kept putting rocks in your Tonka and bringing them to me. I kept telling you to put them back, and you would smile and then run back outside. You have the BEST smile!
Likes: reading to yourself, eating fruit, swimming, dancing, crawling out the dog door after Frida
Dislikes: waking up, being told no, taking naps



Happy family on the 4th!
