His first diversion...

Our little man has been entertaining us lately. Here are just a few lines in which we find joy:

Christian runs to the TV and shouts, " Momo!" (Elmo)...

When he drinks something cold or stands on the vents spouting air conditioning his cheeks raise squinting his eyes, his mouth forms an 'O' and he breathes air in as if through a straw...

He knows that most mornings he and Dan drive me to work. He picks up a pair of shoes and brings both shoes of the same set to me and turns his body around in order to plop in my lap so I can put them on his feet...

On the not so funny side, he has started to take off his pants and diaper during his afternoon naps. The other day, he ended up peeing on the bedding. LOVELY!

The cake topper: I was feeding him lunch the other day. When he isn't too interested in the cuisine, he likes to throw it on the floor or otherwise get it off his tray. I warned him to stop. He then looked to the side toward our front windows as if he wanted me to see something. I looked and when I did, he dropped the food on the floor! He created a diversion!! Stinker:)

Catch up

It's been over a month! So sorry I've been delinquent. So much has happened but nothing has happened. How to remember the moments?

Christian is a darling. He's certainly a little personality. I fall deeper in love with him daily it seems, which makes it harder and harder to go to work. I try not to think about having only 17 more years before he's out of my hands...I know - silliness! But seriously, if this year has flown by what's to change about the future ones?

He loves the outdoors and other kids. He would rather be at the play ground adjacent to our apartment building than anywhere else. He's into the sand box now. He doesn't play with the other kids but watches how they play. He usually grabs onto one of the cars and then holds it while he walks around.

One thing we are focusing on now is eating. He prefers not to eat the food we provide sometimes. He is a slow eater but also willful in that he refuses even when hungry! Because he knows we have other things that he likes. Stinker! But we tell him our will is stronger than his - at least for now:)

Discipline is still a subject to study. We are adopting some of the SuperNanny techniques - looking him in the eye, telling him what the expectations are, trying to be consistent.

I wish I had a cute story to tell - maybe if one comes to mind in the next few moments...

Nope! Until next time...
