Random Happenings

So I obviously haven't written anything in a while, so I thought I'd just jot down a bunch of random things I thought were cute that I remember...

Today, Peter was eating hotdogs, cheese, and apples for lunch. I gave him ketchup for his hotdog, but he decided to dip his apples in it instead. After trying his first ketchup-dipped apple, he says, "Mmm mmm!"

Yesterday he was chasing Kent around the living room and kitchen saying, "Roar! Roar! Roar!" It was so cute! I love how his personality is taking shape!

When the girls (dogs) are outside, he'll wait by the door saying, "Hoo, Hoo, Hoo!" (That's Hoove.)

He's started sleeping with his "baby." It's a little bear that was Kent's when he was little. He's so cute with it. He'll hug it when you give it to him. It really helped him sleep when we were away from home at Thanksgiving.

When you ask him a question, if he doesn't know the answer, he'll furrow his eyebrows, raise his hands, and say, "I don't know." (Well, a variation of "I don't know.") It's too cute.

We bought him swords the other day. They're made out of foam, so completely safe. :) He likes to sword fight with them. Our poor dogs, especially Cana, get the most beatings from them...

My parents have a cat. We visited them over Thanksgiving. Peter decided it was fun pulling the cat's tail. Poor cat didn't like him very much.

He is currently on his hands and knees on the floor. I believe he's pooping. He's making a "fart" noise with his lips and pushing...maybe too much information for most readers. :)

He likes to sing "Where is Pointer?". He doesn't say any of the words, but he definitely has the melody down and can do the finger actions. He also sings "London Bridge."

He's started being a little helper. He likes to throw things away. He also picks up pretty good.

He's discovered he can make funny sounds with paper towel holders. He goes around with them up to his mouth singing...

He plays fetch with Hoove. Each time Hoove gets the ball he claps for her.

He's great at the sign language we've been teaching him! He knows "more," "all done," "thank you," "please," and "I love you." He's such a smart little guy!

He takes after his mom with his love for chocolate...if you give him a bite, he starts saying, "more, please!" over and over!

I guess that's all for now. Maybe I'll get better at blogging and add posts more often...then again, maybe a monthly update will suffice. :)

Walking!

Peter has figured out how to walk around furniture! He's quite the pro at pulling himself up!

At first, he couldn't figure out how to get down after he pulled himself up. He would eventually end up falling and bonking his head. But now, being the problem solver he is, he had learned to place one hand on the floor while still holding on with the other hand. He then puts his other hand down and moves into a sitting position.

Ride on Cowboy!

I have my rocking horse that my grandpa made me from when I was little. Peter can finally ride it! He's so cute! We say, "Ride on Cowboy!" and he goes to town on the horse! It's so cute!

He also rides like this in shopping carts, restaurant high chairs, and a little rocking chair at meemoo and grandpa's house!

Talking on the Phone

Peter has a favorite new toy! He loves playing with old cell phones! He puts them behind his ear to talk. He's also figured out how to open and close them and he likes to push the buttons! What a smart little guy!

Peter's New Trick

So, Peter was eating lunch today. He loves to eat! He eats everything I put on his tray. He was eating chicken vienna sausages, fruit cocktail, carrots, and grapes. He's such a good eater!

Well, I was cooking some macaroni on the stove, and I heard Peter giggling. I love his giggle! He has the best laugh! Well, the source of his giggle came from his new trick.

He would grab a piece of fruit off his tray, move his hand over until it was hanging off his high chair, and drop the food! Cana and Hoove (our two dogs) would fight over who got the food. Peter thought this was hilarious! The little turkey figured out he doesn't have to eat the food he doesn't like, the dogs will do it for him!

The Little Boy in the...Dishwasher???

Peter is currently trying to kiss the little boy in the dishwasher. It's pretty humorous...He's holding onto his high chair tray in one hand, his football in the other, and sitting in front of the dishwasher with his face pressing against the door. His mouth is open and he's definitely trying to kiss the little boy he sees...

He's a cutie, I know!

Play Time!

Peter is learning new skills all the time! He's started getting up on his knees to reach things. He's getting really good at balancing on his knees! He's also getting into a lot of things he shouldn't...



Peter loves playing catch! He's cute to play with. If we throw the ball into his lap, he'll grab it. He then holds it out in front of him, opens his hand, and lets it roll back to us! He's a smart little guy!

He loves chasing his purple cup around the kitchen floor. I have a video of that, but I'll have to upload that later.
