Wow, it’s May already. (See? Duh!)
That means the year is almost half over, which means the school year is starting (Sam will be going to preschool if I can #($*#*(&%)# get her potty trained already), and the start of the school year means it’s almost Christmas. So I better start shopping, I guess? Yikes.
As the time flies by (I’m never sure if it should be flies or flys – but now that I type both, I’m thinking it should be flys… because flies is just a whole bunch of creepy flying things that completely piss by off by buzzing around my kitchen. Maybe I should clean Griffin’s high chair. Or under Sam’s booster seat. The one time I did that – wow. The things I found. Um, moving on.)
See, I would go back and delete that whole thing and spell it right the first time – or maybe it WAS spelled right because spell check is flagging the wrong one *sigh* – but my right hand/wrist/fingers have some sort of pathetic aching carpal tunnel thing going on (I googled the ‘carpal’ part earlier to make sure I spelled that right for my Tweet this morning – just in case you were wondering) and seriously, using the delete key REALLY hurts because I use my ring finger to do it and all that repetitive deleting just makes my poor hand hurt more.
Huh. I would say you should have skipped it but it’s a little too late now.
Did you see Griffin’s sweet pictures of his first haircut?? (Just scroll down – it might be faaaaar down because I’m not sure how much I’m going to write. So here is the link!) He was so good, he just sat the whole time and watched TV and just looked around wondering what was going on. I keep getting comments on my mellow children. I would be so excited to have a mellow boy if I haven’t heard from about 25 different people on how their little boy was so sweet and mellow until the time he turned one, and then WATCH OUT! So I’m waiting. But he’s still so sweet.
He’s walking about 50% of the time now and making the choice to actually stand up and walk instead of crab crawling. The one sucky thing (well, there are probably a few about walking children) but the one that I realized this morning… is that walking is done pretty silently, especially in socks. Crawling is rather louder and you can track the noise much better. So, Griffin and his current love for shoes and stairs – the walking thing is a little dangerous. Especially seeing as I have to sneak around to run to my computer and check my email in the mornings while I’m trying to get him to play with Sammie but he knows me to well and follows me but once he hits the corner he has a choice. Go try and find Momma at her computer or go pick up some shoes and try to return them to their rightful place in the closet?
Shoes are meant to live downstairs. I keep trying to tell him that but he keeps grabbing them and taking them upstairs. He usually figures it out by the time he gets to the top though because he always throws them down. On my head.
This age is so fun though. Really every age has extreme benefits and the cutest little things. I love how he can tell me what he wants now by some weird grunts, pointing, and babbling. We almost have the ‘More’ sign down and I’m pretty sure I know his ‘All Done’ sign. It’s done with his head instead of his hands but hey, as long as we both understand each other.
He loves going down the slide, jumping into a pile of pillows, baths are an exercise in splishing and splashing, and hide and go seek with SissieSammie is crazy because she always hides in the same spot yet each time, it’s always amazing that she is in there!
I think he has almost gotten over the fact that she figured out to play with Little People (and not have them destroyed) she has to do it on the dining room table. It’s taken a few weeks but he’s finally figured out that there are other toys – maybe just a few hundred or so – in the playroom that he can play with.
And now he’s awake. Oops.
Well, it’s been fun 🙂 I’ll try to come back later and upload some super cute photos of everything we’ve been up too!
xoxo
