My baby is totally turning into a toddler!
Meet mayhem. Whatever he can rip apart or destroy he will do it. His favorite thing is my cooking bowls and tupperware. I put them away about 6 or 7 times a day. When I'm doing laundry he wants to "help" me but he does whatever the opposite of what I'm doing. If I'm taking laundry out of the dryer he is putting it back in. If I'm putting it in he is taking it out. When he is eating and is done he will throw everything and anything he can on the floor.
He wanders around my house a lot looking for something to get into. He tries to play with his brothers especially if they are wrestling. He LOVES music- when I'm cooking dinner I turn you tube videos of kids songs and he sits really good through them. His favorite is head-shoulders-knees and toes. He always starts dancing and pointing to his head then his face. He knows where he head and belly is when you ask him. Any primary song he loves and dances around to so needless to say we have a extra long singing time for FHE. He also shakes his finger at you when you tell him to say "no no no!" He learned how to "get me" by blowing air in my face then I get him. He just laughs and laughs about that.
He is starting to say more words. He still says "this" and "that" a lot. He also says "Jesus" whenever he sees a picture of Jesus. He says shoe and hat too. If you ask him to get you something like a book or toy he can do it. He seems to understand a lot of what I tell him. He has 9 teeth as of today. 6 on top and 3 on the bottom (weird huh?) When he wakes up in the morning he can't do anything until he has some strawberry milk. It's like his morning coffee. He can't function until he has it and heaven forbid it's just milk or he will just throw it.
He is jabbering all the time! He likes playing with his toys and can sit there for 5-10 minutes or so alone just playing with the same toy then he wants to be moving again. He loves his stuff animals especially this little duck he got for Easter last year. When he goes down for a nap or bed he makes a little nest of all of his blankets to lay on. If there is one scrap of paper on the floor it will be chewed up then spit out in not too long of time. I let him hold a box of ego waffles when I was shopping the other day and he ate a hole in the box. He doesn't actually eat it- he just likes to chew it up and spit it out. That and crayons. I've never had a kid that ate so many crayons! I try to keep them out of reach but it's been hard with his older brother that LOVES to draw. Even though I find this to be the hardest age with how busy and fearless they are I love it too. They learn and grow so much and keep me laughing (and making me want to cry) all the time.
