2/27/12: looking for mama, poop in the tub & thank you

Tonight, while I was out getting my nails done, Callen apparently got hurt while Dave was standing at the sink. I guess Dave comforted him and then Callen walked to the gate and pointed and said "uh" a few times. Dave said, "Are you looking for Mama? She's not home bud." And Callen kept pointing and saying "uh" so Dave opened the gate for him so he could go look for himself. Callen crawled up the stairs and went into our room and came back out and said "uh." Dave said, "I know. I told you she's not here." Then they went back downstairs and Callen went to the gate one last time and Dave said, "Mommy will be home soon."

Then during bath tonight Callen was giving Dave a weird look so Dave said, "Are you done?" and Callen nodded his head emphatically. As Dave was taking him out of the tub, he immediately saw why Callen wanted out! He had left a big poop in the tub! Thankfully, that was the first time I remember that happening!

Tonight, Callen wanted a cookie (signed "cookie" "please") and I said, "say thank you" and he put his hand to his mouth and down. So yay...he's learned yet another sign.

Last night, he also started doing the "dog" sign correctly by patting his thigh with his hand. He even patted my leg. Too cute. He also was trying to squat while patting his leg and almost fell over. It was too funny. And of course, he always follows up the sign with saying "woof woof."

I also noticed lately that when he has a car in his hand, he makes "vroom vroom" sounds.

When Callen's excited about something, like when he's about to get the food that he wants (usually a cat cookie or pretzel, etc.), he squats down really quick and then back up over and over. It's ridiculously cute. He'll also swing his arms back and forth.

Oh, and this past week (so when we was almost 17.5 mos.), he finally moved up to 18 months size footed fleece pjs! He must be growing!

I said, "cheese" and this is the what he did.

Tonight he wanted to ride the rocking horse a lot. I'd hold him there and rock it for awhile and then he'd get down. Then he'd want back on and repeat. Several times.

He's also likes sitting in my lap and doing puzzles. Tonight he actually got most of the shapes puzzle on first try, but if he didn't, he'd try all the puzzle holes until he got the right one and then he'd clap for himself. So cute and smart!

Tuesday, 9/2/08 standing alone




one of auntie katie's favorite outfits for cousin sara...she let us borrow it :)




"walking" around the house with daddy's cellphone saying "hi-i," "hi-i," "hi-i"

Today L started pushing around her little airplane with just one hand on the handle so she must be getting more sturdy on her feet.

After D got home, she also stood with no support several different times and one time for at least a solid minute.

This past weekend we realized that she must have had a growth spurt b/c it seems like she can reach so many more things now. All weekend long, we kept saying, "she's getting so tall." She can reach to pull things off the kitchen table, dining room table, and the kitchen counter (the last of which she definitely couldn't do before).

She was cranky all day today and only took an hour and twenty minute nap so I gave her tylenol a couple times today...i think it's her teeth?? and hope it's not something else.
