It is really hard to keep up with all of the new things that Clayton learns and does! It seems as though he learns something new everyday! I will try to hit the highlights of the past month, but I'm sure there are many, many more. I know one thing, we try to cherish each and every precious moment because time is just flying by!
The past month:
*Clayton has aquired a new obsession for trucks...or "crucks" as he calls them. He loves to push them around the house making this "mmmmm" sound all the while. This also lead to the love of the Disney movie Cars. He also points out the window while we are driving and sees the trucks and yells "Truck, Truck, Wow!"*Loves anything and everything Toy Story related...he calls it "Tu Tu"
*Has gotten really good at climbing...YIKES!
*Went to his first movie, where we learned he LOVES popcorn!
*Knows countless animals and their sounds...including crab, shark (one of his favorites), and turtle...this all from our trip to the Newport Aquarium
*Is full on running at this point
*Is becoming very independent...no more feeding him, which has been going on for awhile, but we used to at least be able to help, but oh no...things must be done on his own now!
*Some of his new favorite foods (which are few and far between b/c he is super picky) include yogurt or "ogurt", grapes or "gapes", and chicken nuggets or "chicky". Loves Capri Sun flavored water, chewy fruit snacks, pretzels, and his all time favorite love...POPSICLES!
*Says yes and no appropriately
*Chooses what he wants to eat given a choice, or he will just go to the pantry or fridge and tell you what he wants
*Still in love with his BB (blanket), Pup Pup, and Pie Pie (pacifier)...we are going to have to work on this last one!
*Loves to build with blocks
*Consistently knows the color yellow
*Has a new love for Cows, after daddy took him to Chik-fil-a and it just so happened to be National Cow Day...HA
*Still loves to be read to
*When watching Elmo's World...he sings the La La La La part at the beginning and sings the word World, and holds the note for a long time...it is beyond cute!
*Went to the spray park at Burdette for the first time
*I am always counting things with him, and he will point and count with me...repeating "Two, Two, Two"
*Really understands when given directions and will follow them, well, most of the time ;) For example...he will pick out a snack and I will say okay, you have to get into your chair...he walks over to his chair and says "Chair" and waits to be put in it.
*Really cute...I will say something like...after you eat then we will go outside and play, okay? and he answers "Okay"
*Is obsessed with outside...he will go to the door leading out to the deck and say "side"
*Loves to brush his teeth, but with our toothbrushes...HA
*Loves to dance
*Now when he gives kisses he makes the sound mmmwhhaaa...I have always done that when kissing him and now he does it...too cute!
*Is getting really good at eating on his own with a spoon or fork
*Will bring you the remote control when he wants to watch a movie
*His vocabulary is growing beyond belief...he evens says the word Yellow correctly...most kindergarteners can't do that...okay a little bragging, we have had numerous people with children his age or older tell us they can't believe how well he talks! We aren't proud or anything ;)
As far as Dr. Cochran's report...I am happy to say he is a healthy, happy baby boy! He weighed 22lbs and was 32 1/4 inches...so as far as weight goes, he continues to be a little guy...tall and skinny like his Pops! He does have to go see an ENT and will see Dr. Deppe again about his feet, but we couldn't be more thankful or blessed that he is an overall healthy and SMART :) baby! He is just growing up so fast!!! I need a pause button!
