An awesome birthday gift of which he’s afraid.
After riding in it and figuring out how to push the pedal, he opted to get his “Auburn” tricycle and drive around the gator.
The next morning, on the way back from church, he said, “Green truck scary”.
Troy, one day it won’t be scary!
This past weekend a local nursery had a neat little gathering for kids to play with paint, do some artwork, have a snack, sing some songs and use some instruments.
I found out that Troy loves the instruments!
We had a great time. At one point, Troy and a friend were marching around the 5 gallon containers of plants. I suppose this is what is fun to toddlers.
Troy loooooves Auburn – Aubie, football, the logo, the football stadium….well, any football field/stadium for that matter. A few weeks ago he went to his second Auburn game with his daddy and had a blast. Brian said he was enamored by the band, the players, people cheering, pom poms and the atmosphere.
Since he did so good, we decided to take him to Homecoming. It was wonderful that Grandy came along, too. This time Troy made it through half time before we decided it was time to go. Nap time was great that afternoon!
Here are some pics.
He got a hold of Grandy’s cane and decided it was a microphone. He has a small obsession with singing and performing lately.
Our friends stopped by with their little girl. I put this one Facebook and someone said something about them standing like this one day in college….with something other than water in the cups.
He ate and drank pretty much the whole time. Before we got to the stadium, he ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as well as some chips. AT the stadium he had a whole hot dog, cookie, chips, peanuts, some of a brownie and a bunch of water.
We took three trips to the bathroom. Going to the bathroom with a 2 year old at a football stadium is not my favorite thing to do.
Watching the eagle fly.
Yep, pretty ashamed that I’m now posting this. Barely making it before he turns 9 months. Sorry J!
He’s an absolute delight and has captured my heart. With his sweet smiles, babbles, long stares, crooked smile, crossed over toes on his right foot, growls and screams, he is perfect in every.single.way that I could ever imagine.
He’s eating more and more solid foods. In fact, he’s cut back on nursing. Still hasn’t had any formula and I think we’re on our way to him not needing any (fingers crossed). Even if he doesn’t like a food, he will eat it (although he’ll fuss while choking it down).
Loves his brother, bouncing in the jumperoo, sitting on the floor with a little work bench, Mozart cube or noisy bumblebee. Lights up when he sees me, his daddy or Goli. Loves sleeping on his tummy, rolls around to get to toys. Tries getting Troy’s toys every chance he can, will roll and “swim” to get to things. Has started enjoying standing at his activity center to play with toys and push buttons.
Weight: 20 pounds, 2 ounces
Height: 28 inches
He is saying: dada, mama, blah, nana, baba, ta, duh. He usually claps his hands together or takes his left hand and pats on his mouth while making noise when he’s hungry, full or wants attention. He does NOT like being left alone in a room. He is fine sitting and watching others (as long as someone is in the room).
With his brother in their matching tiger shirts. I love these applique’s!
He is such a joy – and such a GIFT!!!
Buy pumpkin, place baby next to pumpkin, eyeball where legs should be, carve out legs larger than you expect, carve out inside of pumpkin, place baby inside. When your baby’s belly is larger than the top of the pumpkin, carve it out a little wider, place baby again inside and take some pics.
If you’re lucky, your child will be happy enough to nibble on the pumpkin, too.
