It's been a while since I've updated which is to be expected when summer rolls around. No one should waste the summer glued to a computer screen. There is so much that has happened since my last post that if I went into detail I'd be writing a novella, so a quick summary will work just fine.
Little Mister is on the move big time. Not walking yet, but crawling everywhere, and cruising along furniture. He will use anything that moves to walk behind and is getting better and better. I don't think it will be that long till I have a little sprinter. He's also already turned 11 months just a couple of days ago. Which also means in less than month is his first birthday. Can someone tell me where that year went?
Other fun things he's doing:
Waves bye, likes to chase people, plays peek a boo with curtains, continues to love most foods put in front of him, loves to pull the books off of the bookshelf and also clothes out of dressers/stuff out of drawers/anything that makes a mess, tries desperately to open childproofed cabinets, puts one object inside of another one and then takes it out again - repeat, chase the cats
Stuff he doesn't like:
Getting dressed or getting his diaper changed, not getting to play with electronic things, not getting to play in the toilet, beans
There's a few more in each category but in general he's a happy guy
In other news, we've been busy with trips and moving. We're settled into the new house and it's incredible to actually have space. And quiet. And a yard. I don't miss apartment life in the least. I only wish we owned a house but I guess for now I should just be happy I have one to call home. I've been taking full advantage of our plentiful fruit trees and have made many bowls of guacamole and pitchers of sangria using our citrus.
Speaking of important first birthdays coming up, I've been busily planning Little Mister's. Some people go all out, but I wanted it to be low-key while still being fun and somewhat coordinated. So I'm going with a color scheme instead of a character, since he doesn't know or give a hoot about Winnie the Pooh or Elmo. I've been browsing Pinterest looking for fun decorations to make, and have enjoyed attempting a few. Some people get stressed planning parties but I think it's fun. That said, I actually enjoy fretting over the details but it is a lot of work so if someone just wants to blow up some balloons and throw a Betty Crocker cake mix in the oven I certainly wouldn't blame them.
