Mikey is getting more and more fun every day. We absolutely love having him in our home. He is quite entertaining now as he starts trying to talk. He will now say "uh-oh" whenever we do and whenever he drops something. He attempts a few other words, but that's really the best one besides "mama" and "daddy." He also has started to clap at everything. We always clap when he does stuff well or figures out a toy or whatever. So now after he plays with a toy he stops and claps. He also claps when he hears clapping on the TV. It's so cute. This video is perhaps my favorite video of him ever. Here he is being so proud of himself for playing with his toys....well, really it's because he sees mama and daddy are so proud. Enjoy....
And our other new favorite thing is his dancing. He has started to dance. Whenever he hears music he starts bouncing up and down. Then he stops and starts twisting his body back and forth. What a cutie.
And he's so smart. He knows the sign for "more" so that is quite helpful sometimes in ascertaining what it is that he wants. We are working on more signs since now I realize how helpful it can be.
He of course has his moments. He is getting quite a firm head when it comes to something he wants. He yells and screams. But the doctor said it's normal :) He also gets very, very sad when dad leaves in the morning and runs to the door crying when he realizes I've distracted him only long enough for dad to get out. On the flip side, he starts bouncing and clapping when he hears the garage at the end of the day and runs to great him with the dogs.
Here are a few other funny things....
We thought he had been sitting calmly in his little chair, but when we came in, there he was with one leg out, laughing. I guess he didn't want to wait for us to get him out so he took matters into his own hands.
Looks like daddy and baby both got the memo (we really didn't plan it!)
This is Mikey's new big boy chair. He loves it! He will sit so calmly in it just swinging his legs. Though it's a little tall for him to get out of by himself so I have to watch him closely or he tips over in his attempts to get out.
Mikey and cousin Amanda just hanging out at aunt Heather and uncle Herb's! (Her dress kept getting in her way of playing so her mom had to tuck it up while she played.)
Kate helped Mikey and Amanda jump on the tramp--they all loved it
So Lance went to get Mikey out of bed in the morning and this is what we found...Mikey with his shirt half off! Maybe he got hot?
Mikey's such a big help when I do laundry. He either pulls it all out of the basket and spreads it around the floor or he insists on getting in the basket with the clothes. :)
