18 months- Where has the time gone! (2-4-11)

My baby is a year and a half!

Loves:
Horses, his rocking horse, Milk, bath time, snuggling with dad on the couch in the AM, computers, being read to at night, rocking after stories, putting his dirty diaper in the diaper pail (must be some sort of accomplishment thing), sleeping in the car, to say "no," Jewel our dog, hanging out on the table watching out the window, playing with any kind of strap/buckle combo. (like on his bike helmet and high chair), wearing his PJs all day,

Hates:
getting his diaper changed, waking up in the morning, the drive back and forth from school/daycare, to hear the word"No," sitting in a highchair or booster at a restaurant, having to get off the table, coughing (which seems like a constant thing),

Milestones:
Has 12 teeth, runs all over, never stops moving or yammering. He is really trying to communicate and gets frustrated at times when we don't understand what he wants.

Still a climber and learning more signs as we go. He can now sign: milk, mom, dad, more, light, phone, cracker (kind of), and bed (we are working on please and thank you) :-)

Everyone thinks he is "so well behaved" when we go places, until he gets comfortable. :-) Then he's a crazy man!

Quirks:
His "gps" still works at times; at least he still tries to use it.

First "Family" Snow Day of the Year

This was round 2 for Josh, 2nd snow day of the school year, but my first one. :-) I was really looking forward to not having to use our 2nd built in snow day, but oh well. We have already gotten our text message for tomorrow- No School again. The winter weather slam has arrived :-/

Here is a short review of our day. We did venture out to go to Josh's school in the morning. He got some stuff done for his portfolio and Jonah got to run around in a new and much bigger space. He got to play at the school, took a nap in his own bed (for only 45 min) and got super excited about the snow once we opened the curtains. He talked to grandma Meyer on the webcam (he never stopped talking or moving), colored on the big paper, played with an ice cube, got rolled up like a burrito, and so much more.


He really loved to tape with the Flip Camera, which you'll see in the video.
I don't have the burrito fun or the ice cube fun in this video, I'll get that up here soon. :-)
