I went to Vegas for the weekend for a Wedding of a Family Friend. Bryce told me he was working on a surprise for me. He REALLY had me fooled. I thought he had stained the banister for our stairs BUT he had sold the tent trailer that we've had for sale for 6 weeks and bought me a netbook. I've been wanting one for awhile so that I could use my digital software on the go! He's such a great hubby!
Opening my box
Robert thought the newspaper was the most fabulous thing ever!!!
Robert says lots of things but you know that you don't know if they REALLY understand what they're saying.
We know he understands SOME of the signs he does like fan, light, dog, elephant but he sometimes gets more and all done confused which can be kind of confusing for us. Well, luckily now he says DONE when you sign all done when he really is all done (did you get that).
Well, he's been saying ball for a little while now and I don't know if he REALLY grasped what it was and then last night he picked up 1/2 of his basketball (it comes apart) and held it up and said BALL. I was so proud. it's one of those YES he's getting it moments. I know that he's getting it because of my AMAZING sister-in-law Brionne! Wow she has taught him so much.
He also started saying "cheese" makes sure your volume is up high because it's quite and then he says buh bye and waves (towards himself--my favorite) at the same time!!
Oh I love this little boy.
His favorite word/sound that he says is squawk. He read a book with Shelley, aka Grammy, and it says, What does the noisey parrot say? and Robert answers back now Squawk, Squawk. I need to get it on video!!!
Let's see if I can think of all the fun things that Robert does :)
*He walks ALL over now! He thinks he's so big. Last night he was trying to RUN and kept falling on his face. *He says, "MaMa, DaDa, BaBa(bottle), BuhBuh(Bye Bye), Yep, No.No.No. (while pointing), KU(clock), tick.tick (tickle tickle) He repeats other things as well *He signs, "Fan, Light, More, All Done, Dog, Elephant, Bear" *He LOVES to empty the tupperware drawers *He has a new love of M&M's *He overloaded on sugar yesterday and had a REALLY upset tummy (up 2 hours in the middle of the night :() *He does tricks on his TRIKE from my parents (and anyone who knows my dad knows that he's NOT happy about this) *He clicks his tongue *He has the best motorboat around---he makes that sound every time anything electronic gets turned on OR when he plays with cars *His blows snot in and out of his nose and laughs. Poor child has mama's allergies so he always has a running nose. He loves to do this when he sneezes in the car and I can't wipe his nose because I'm driving. *He takes breathing treatments like a champ *He's becoming quite attached and cries when we're not in the room. *He loves his Max and gets excited when he seems him *Sometimes he'll choose Aunt Brionne over mom :( She is his daytime mommy though *He LOVES his grandparents *He can sport a pretty awesome mohawk. Maybe we should die it for Halloween (my dad would LOVE that) *He can maneuver up and down stairs but sometimes he forgets he can't stop and sit. *He's learning to hold is own---now we have to teach him that he has to share *He loves to play with Grammy's tin foil and saran wrap :) *He will eat pretty much anything we put in front of him and says MMMMMM.... with the first bite almost everytime. *He has four BIG teeth (like his Uncle Darron and Grammy, HAHA!) *He's faster than fast *He still loves cords. Way too much. He gets so excited when he can reach the mouse attached to our TV. We try to get him just to eat the old nebulizer tubes but they're not always good enough. i have a tube with me at all times :) *He's so naughty at church and just wants to play with all the kids during sacrament *Sunday School is during nap time so he's so grouchy! *He loves the park *He loves to swing *He'll stop anything and everything to watch the clock and says "KU" when he hears it. (at Grammy's *He's also very aware of barking and tries to find the doggies *He's the friendliest boy around but is so busy he doesn't really have "time" to chit chat *He does this head bob that is so darn cute and thinks he's so funny for doing it. He does it usually in the highchair *If you're not paying attention to him and he wants you to then he turns his head to the side and stares you down-it's adorable
He's perfect! We love him and even though he's becoming quite opinionated and very stubborn (he is a red-head ya know) we love him more and more each day!!!
