It sure has been awhile since I have blogged but what I can say with busy work and life schedule I just haven't had the time. I have a couple of minutes in between meetings today and feel like giving an update on Johnny. It is nice to look back and see where he was at during different months of his life so I think I will capture this more often. If not for historical purposes. :) I am the worst at updating his baby book.
Our little boy is sure not a baby anymore. Something changes after they turn 1 and they just become this toddler and not sure if you want them to stay a little baby or to turn into that little boy that you have dreamed of and actually have a conversation with them. That is where we are at and one thing is for sure you don't stop smiling at every little thing they do and steal kisses and squeezes like you did when they were infants.
Johnny is now 17 months and is as active as ever. The dinners out are very quick and have to be in what I call a "kid-friendly" place. No more Italianissimo unless we can sit outside and so we end up at like mexican resturants, Red Robin, or make sure to have multiple hands on deck like we did in Maui to let him run around outside while we enjoy our food. Johnny runs everywhere now that he is super stable on his feet and is getting into sports now. He kicks balls, is learning to throw a ball and can set up and hit his golf ball off of his toddler tee. He is also taking very much interest in what we do and his toys are pretty much old news to him. My child is going to probably be in the service industry someday as his favorite things to do in life are pretend to drive, vaccum, play in the dishwasher and hang outside and water the lawn or anything for that matter outside.
Here is a list of what he is like now.
- Favorite foods- Cheese, muffins, pasta (meat sauce), grapes, yogurt, bananas, M&Ms
- Loves his baths but also likes the shower
- Loves his puppies and tries to ride them like a horse and lay on them (Sonny puts up with it more than Duffy)
- Cutting 4 molars right now which will be a total of 12 teeth
- Had two haircuts and still has blond hair
- Horrible sleeper (starts in his bed and ends up in ours and wakes up at least 2 times a night for water and binky)
- Still a big snuggler and has turned into a mama's boy
- Talk a lot but it doesn't make any sense. When he wants something he points to it and says "mahn" like mine
- Obsessed with the M&M candy jar and getting one
- Pretty good little dancer
