Colby Fun Facts

We have not had anymore big things happen, such as falling out of cribs/opening doors, but he has added a few more words to his vocabulary. He pretty much calls all food 'nana' except the other day he added another food word - 'cracker' ... It sounds more like 'caca' but you definitely know he's talking about a cracker.

-For milk he uses the last syllable and calls it 'kul'

-When he wants something (toy, food, etc...) really bad he says 'nanananana' over and over - soo cute!!!

-We have been pointing out body parts to him lately and when you ask 'where is your nose?' he points to his nose! He will also point to his ears and eyes when asked (well, some of the time).

-He has started using a little bit of sign language (works like more, please)

-He shakes his head really big (like he is saying NO) when he is done eating or when he does not want something.

- My favorite of all... even if Colby is in another room, as soon as he hears the stair gate open he comes running in to the living room as fast as his little legs will take him to climb up the stairs. He gets this huge grin on his face and starts laughing and giggling. So cute to watch!

Last Month of Summer

This past month has been somewhat slow so we tried to find ways to amuse ourselves. We tried out some family bowling... well, I sat with Colby and we watched Tyler and Duda bowl. Tyler stayed pretty even with his Duda's score, too (for a while anyway).

We, of course, did plenty of swimming and had more friends over.

And even more friends over...

This is actually Tyler and Maddie doing 'handstands' underwater! Fun times!!

Also, one of Tyler's other favorite activites this summer, besides swimming, has been doing preschool workbooks. He loves doing the activites in the workbooks and especially enjoys having to find the hidden objects! Those were my favorite too. We 'work' in a workbook pretty much for a few minutes everyday (30 minutes or so) because he enjoys doing them so much.

Tyler also has a new favorite toy that he got this month for being so brave at the dentist. Fisher Price has a new toy line called 'Planet Heroes' and Tyler got to pick one out at Toys R Us. He was so excited about them that he drew a picture of all the planets. (One of the planets on his drawing was a mess up so that is why there are 10). :) Because of the toy line Tyler can now name all 9 planets! Look at my little Science Man!!
