Saturday Excursions

Adrian is so big. He's been practicing making new noises and sounds....specifically inhaling air with a high pitch or saying 'mmmmmmmmmm' like humming. I am trying to teach him to blow kisses. He now claps. Don't know why it took so long or why he only does it in the car but at least he knows he can. He is quite whiney these days...could be the new bottom teeth looking like coming in sideways. Better start saving for braces now. Also his sleep is messed up...which means my sleep is messed up. We've been trying to practice walking but if you hold him up he just wants to sit. I've discovered that if if I hold under his arms and walk fast while saying 'run run run run', he pumps his legs and runs around...slowly he's getting used to just walking when we do this. He's so steady with balance and everything that when he does decide to walk he'll just take off! I think he takes after Barry athletically...Barry's pretty good at everything he tries! Still saying 'gog' gat' 'dada' 'mama' but also 'ga' means gpa and he babbles incessantly about all sorts of things like 'lala' 'baba' 'nana' and such. He loves our pets and gets so excited to see them in the morning or when they are outside. Another thing is that he LOVES the outdoors; if a door is open he's outside in a split second.

Had a good weekend! Went to the park on Saturday and Target with Cousin Cavyn who is such a big boy these days. Adrian still is learning the concept of 'gentle' and may laugh as he smacks others in the face or gets a reaction from 'ow'! I try to ignore, move him or myself, and/or say 'be gentle' and show him how, in order to not give him lots of attention for negative behaviors but also to let him know that he won't get my attention for being rough. I think he gets attention for it once in awhile and so he continues to try to 'attack' for the surprised 'ow!' he sometimes gets.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies! We didn't do much, hung out and got some pizza from Pulcinella's. I bought Adrian a book for Mother's Day called "I Love You Forever' and then I read it to him today. It made me cry. Barry called me a dork and so did Julie but you try reading it to your baby and tell me it isn't emotional.


Perfect Fit for a little boy...we'll call it his new playroom! P.S. He must not have any toys if this is what he has to resort to(HA)
