Of course with pictures.
First off, making faces. What you can't really tell from the picture is that he's wearing the swimsuit we bought for him last year. I'm amazed it still fits and glad we don't have to buy another one this summer!
On to playtime. Stephan discovers his baby once in a while and is quite sweet when he does. He will hold him and pat him and say "aww" like he does when he hugs us. This time he wanted to push baby around and decided to put baby on top of his fire truck. I showed him how to tuck baby inside which worked a bit better.
Oh how he adores Miz Graycie! While it may not appear this way in the picture, she is also fond of him, just not when he excitedly rushes over to pet her.
And then there is his obsession with electronics. (Wonder where he gets that from??) He really wants to mess with the camera so I let him take a few pictures ...
"Am I supposed to be sleeping?" Apparently when there are toys about not much falling asleep happens.
Though he does eventually fall asleep, sometimes with two Pops.
He misses Mrs. Sarah and Kayla during the summer and really enjoyed playing with her this morning. We try and get together a couple times a month for the kids to play and the bonus is that we can chat! This is him, mostly playing in the sandbox. I tried to get video of him climbing up the slide and going down but he didn't cooperate when I was trying to get evidence.
And lastly, I leave you with MANGO BOY. He has decided he seriously loves this fruit and ate an entire mango yesterday. Left NONE for his drooling mommie and daddie. Oh well, he ate something besides mac'n'cheese.
There's my boy. I can't believe he'll be two next month! Where does the time go??
May did not include as many big events as April but we still had some fun.
The weather eventually got warm enough for us to play OUTSIDE! Stephan let the cat out which led to a few stressful moments but we got her safely back inside and later took her out on her leash.
Nana sent some corn with dinner one night and Stephan discovered that he loves sweet corn on the cob!
Playing in the tub is great fun and Stephan enjoys his bathtime which occurs just about every night now. Hiding is something Stephan has discovered he enjoys. When he's nowhere to be found he's usually under the table!
So here’s my little bear and his mess. Apparently, I only thought he was taking a nap and really I was the only one doing any napping!
Mommie only thought I was asleep, but I was having LOTS of fun discovering the wrapping paper after I pulled most of my clothes out of the drawers and books off the shelf and trash out of the trash can.
Mommie was thankful I didn’t discover all the gift bags and tissue paper stashed in my closet.
After mommie came I with her camera I was a bit more interested in getting ahold of that … but she didn’t let me.
When daddie came home we cleaned up the whole mess and then we got to play sword fight with the paper rolls, how fun is that? I was a super giggly boy after all this!
Stephan had a great time this morning. He of course REALLY liked Elmo, Cookie Monster and Big Bird and would clap and get excited for them. It was neat sitting on the floor because the monsters came close to our seats. I wish we'd known and been able to get seats closer to the aisle. We'll know for next time I guess.
We found a big stuffed Elmo for Stephan which he loves and I wish was of better quality since he's shedding all over the place but what's a little red fur when he adores it so?
I forgot my camera, but we took a few with our phones. Andy's phone actually has a 2MP camear so we might have a few decent pics that I can post later.
Boring post I know. Just like Stephan's diet most of the time. However, he's branching out from hot dogs to other meat and enjoys it when I make chicken salad so we decided to try cubed turkey. He's not been such a huge fan. So today I took his plain jane cubes of turkey and mixed 'em up like chicken salad (a small amount of mayo, some white pepper, celery salt and garlic powder) and he's so lovin' it! So am I. Hooray for protein that's NOT A HOT DOG!
Please excuse the horrid video quality, all I had was my phone to capture the moment. Hopefully, we'll go back soon with proper video equipment!
Stephan had so much energy to play and was so excited about the slide. Once I showed him how to climb up to the slide and go down he pretty much just went through the loop and had a blast.
There was another little boy there who eventually started going through the loop with Stephan and though they are both about the same age, Stephan was considerably less inhibited and was able to climb faster. I had to make sure he didn't topple the poor boy. He also discovered the tube slide and enjoyed that immensly as well, however he still isn't quite sure the best way to climb in, sit down and slide.
Now that we are home he loves watching himself in the video. Say's, "Stephan," and when I say something about the slide in the video he always responds with, "yes."
Andy went to check on Stephan and had me come look too. We do this often because a sleeping child, especially ours, is just so darn cute. We are often amazed at the positions he gets himself into. Tonight tops everything we've experienced so far. He went down without a peep. However, before he went to sleep he must have decided he needed to send a fax to someone with the recently discovered fax machine mommie and daddie have stored under his crib (and now know needs to be donated soon) and after that was apparently too tired to get back in bed. I pulled him out and got him covered up and tucked in again. Silly boy!
Here's a bunch of random stuff for you.
I've got the case ... Now all I need is my new silver iPod to show up on or before Wednesday with enough time for me to get some songs and stuff on it before we leave Thursday morning for FL. (It's all engraved and ready to leave Shanghai, hopefully in the next few hours it'll be headed to AK). So the "iPod fast" that Linda Joy suggested is happening :) ... except that Andy has let me use his U2 iPod for the gym.
I'm also excited about my new sneakers. They are replacing the bulky men's sneakers I got when pregnant as my huge feet got huger and they are the only thing that fit at the time. Now I'm glad to have cute girly sneakers that match my iPod case, though that is just a fun little coincidence.
Here's a picture of our tasty root beer floats. I make my vanilla malt ice cream and add some rootbeer. MMMMM Delicious!
And ... last but not least, Stephan watching a movie with some cookies and fox in sox.
In addition to my photo upload binge I also uploaded a couple videos. They play a little better directly from my photobucket website. I tried uploading to Vox but some are too long so the files are too big. :(
Stephan spinning in the desk chair. Something he likes still but not as much as he did a month ago.
Trying to catch him asking for "nana" which depending on the context is either Grandma Stone or a banana. Was only able to distract him once from eating a banana with a call to Nana, before I realized he was seeing the fruit on the counter and asking for it. He loves bananas now and will eat just shy of half when he asks for one. Likes to have some of the peel too, so I cut most of it off now so he doesn't try to eat the whole thing!
So cute how much he loves music and often tries to pull out daddie's guitar during the day. I love watching him "play" the guitar with daddie. Wonder if he'll be a musician or singer when he's older, even if just as a hobby and not something big like American Idol or putting out a cd.
Just for fun, here's one of him playing with his cd player. He loves to turn up the volume and dance/sing. Or in this case, bounce on the bed.
So during Stephan's nap today (which thankfully is now going on almost 4 hours! YAY!) I've been working on getting pictures up to share since I haven't really since Shortly after getting my new camera.
So here goes ... I'll limit this to one post (hopefully, if all works well).
I loved his hair after waking up from naptime! He's got some curl every now and then, just like me when I was little.
He's recently started wanting a "bankie" to snuggle under on the couch.
Spending time with daddie, coloring, snuggling, racing and ...
playing the guitar!
A few big smiles
and cute looks:
Being Silly :)
Talking on the phone. (He likes to try and tuck the phone in his "pocket" like papa.)
Time to eat, sleep and play
Getting my haircut again ...
And cuddle MOMMIE!
