It's been awhile... the kiddo sure knows how to keep us busy!
Seems like he learns new words and tricks everyday. He consistently says about 35 words and knows about another 15 in sign language.
Some things will probably never change... his favorite toys (in this order) are:
Papa & Ah-ma
Tractors, Quads, Motorcycles - anything that goes VROOM
Other Kids
Phones & Remotes
Dogs
All things that come on a roll (toilet paper, paper towels, etc).
Doesn't he sound like an incredibly normal kid?
He LOVES to get into the recycle containers and "reorganize" items for us (water bottles in the kitchen drawers, toys in the glass bin, remote control in the garbage...) As I type this, he is opening the kitchen cabinets and relocating the A-1 sauce to his toy bin.
He has recently taken to trying out his "oh my gosh I'm so excited I have to scream" voice in any and all public places. I think the local furniture store hopes not to see us again until he's in college.
He's a pretty agile guy. Very much motorized and has more energy than his mama most of the time. His smile lights up the whole of my heart and his laughter is one of the cherished sounds I can hear.
As for us... we are gearing up for hunting season. Mr. Daddy for an elk, and me for a horse! Only I intend to keep mine far from the dinner table, thank you. Mom and I tried out a beautiful well-trained bay this morning. She was quite a sweetie, with just the right get-up-and-go to keep things on the exciting versus scary side. We hope to know soon whether or not she'll be an addition to our backyard. We're still looking for another horse as well - so mom and I can ride out together. If you know of any bombproof ones... drop me a line :o)
Life is good. God is good. And boy are we thankful for this beautiful Washington weather!
