*WHAT'S NEW:

-Of course Gray's vocabulary keeps getting longer! I love it, it's so sweet to hear him try to say new words and surprise me by repeating big words! To name a few... cat, pull, push, "peek boo" a.k.a. peek-a-boo, Mema (his great grandma), bless you when we sneeze, "Jaaa" which is Josh my sister's boyfriend, ducky... sounds like "duckdee", mouse, mess, play, peas, potty, school, toy story (still fav. movie by far), he will tell Copper she is a "good girl" :) and he can make the wolf & the pig sounds!

-He now says please and thank you all on his own without us asking!

-We have been working on sharing and when he shares he is so proud he will say "thank you" implying he did something good and clap! haha, it cracks me up!

-He got his molars in too! Whew glad that is over, but now we are working on the top & bottom incisors... I think these suckers should just come in when they are born!

 

*SOME FUNNIES:

-Our little mocker will now repeat me if I go "ehh ehh ehh" to stop him from doing something or "uhuh" telling him no. He will do it right back with the biggest smile... I mean how do you keep a straight face then?! He also knows things I don't really get mad at him about but try to stop him from doing, like pulling the laundry while I'm folding it or grabbing the napkin holders off the table while he's eating and before I even say something to him he will go "nononono" in a high pitch voice, just like me! Haha! Funny little guy!

-When I ask him if he wants chicken for dinner he says "bawk, bawk, bawk" I hope that doesn't turn him off of chicken one day, haha!

-He is a big kisser these days and if we are reading a book he will kiss all of the animals from cover to back... I'm talking every.single.one. Farm Friends his favorite book can take a long time to read... he will kiss every lil mammal in the barn;) We are working on hugging more... I have told him to tell a few people bye here and there we aren't real close with and he will lean over to give them a smack on the lips, haha!

-He also learned how to pick his nose this month, woohoo... we won't go there! He think it's soo funny but has only done it a few times we try to ignore it as we hold in our laughs!

-Dada's probably not a fan of this, but he will grab a bag or anything with a handle and wave bye bye like it's a purse! haha! Can't blame the kid, that's what Momma does!

-And last, but not least he has started doing a "cheese face" along with his funny face! He will smile so big and scrunch his nose! Cutenessss!

 

*THE NORM:

-Nothing has really changed about our routine lately. Still a short nap with 12-13 hours of sleep at night (7:30ish-8:30sih)! We love it and it seems to be a good schedule for him!

-He eats like a champ and is not very picky. Sometimes he will eat something for one meal and love it and not want anything to do with it the next day?! Who knows, but it's usually not hard to appease him when it comes to food! Fruit is probably his favorite food for sure!

-He still takes one bottle at night and I'm not really planning on saying goodbye to that just yet. It's his second milk of the day, it relaxes all of us:) and I don't feel like it's unneccessary for any reasons, so for now it works!
