Here are a few of the things that Edward has been up to:
- In the Fall Edward could not get enough of Mickey Mouse, but in February he found Curious George and he is still a George Fanatic and we just entered May!!
- It was in February that Edward started becoming attached to "Doggie" (a stuffed dog) and now it sleeps with him every night and nap.
- In February he began saying some 2 word sentences and lots of jabber, some of which I could/can make out. And now in early May he repeats any word you say and can remember it so he can use it again.
- When I ask him how old he's going to be he holds up two fingers (one on each hand) and says "2" (February)
- Sweet brotherly love moment was when Edward took the xylophone to Eli and let/wanted him to have a chance to play.
- Edward is very protective of Eli. When we are out and about, if another child comes to look at Eli, Edward will be his body guard, to the point of screaming and telling them "No"!
- When the song "If your happy and you know it" came on, he clapped Eli's hands for him, so cute!
- "Bugar Bubbles"! Yes, he runs away when I try to wipe his nose, and at one point this winter wanted to wipe his "bugar bubbles" all over the house....
- So we have a baby doll that hangs out around our house, and one day Edward decided the baby needed to go potty, so he took her to the bathroom and let her use the potty!
- "1,2,3 Jump" It seems like in the beginning of February he was trying to learn to jump and now at the beginning of May he can Jump and both feet actually leave the ground!!
- Towards the end of February/March Edward became obsessed with the movie "Cars"! He could not get enough of it, so we actually had to stop watching it all together, and now we only watch it on special occasions.
- One of my favorite things that Edward started doing around mid-March is saying the word "yes", and it's just the way he says it, that will completely melt your heart--at least it does mine!!
- Edward never ceases to amaze me. We listen to lots of music (kid-tunes) and when he hears a song that he has seen on a movie/show he can identify it within the first 5 seconds of listening. He can be in a completely different room and hear a song and identify it "Lion King", "Cars", "Mickey", "Big Bird" ect....He is so smart!!
- Beginning of April Edward starts to identify "boys" and "girls" by naming people he knows and classifying them as boy or girl. "Daddy, boy" "eli, boy" "Nana, girl" , although for the first couple of days everyone was a boy, but now can look at pictures and say "girl" or "boy" and even identifies animals as "boy or girl" . He knows the male lion has a mane and the girls doesn't so he can tell the difference.
- In April, he started wanting to "Hold Eli", so I set Eli down next to Edward in the chair and this seems too suffice for him :)
- Edward is a "by the book" little guy. He likes routine, for instance if my hair is down instead of in a ponytail, he states quite firmly "Momma's hair" and won't stop until it's pulled back.
- Edward turned 2! We had a Curious George party at our house with friends and family. We cooked hamburgers and hot dogs and had cupcakes. It was lots of fun!
- Edward's 2 year doctor appointment was fabulous! Super healthy dude, developing just as he should, 30lbs, 36 inches tall (3 feet)! So if it holds true to double his height at 2, he will be 6 feet tall as an adult.
- He loves, loves, loves his big brother! He loves to watch him play and smiles any time he sees him.
- Eli is so observant and focuses on whatever is going on in the room.
- Now at 6 months he is so much stronger and does not like to be left alone, he wants to be where the action is!
- We had a little scare with Eli and his weight at his 4 month (almost 5 month) appointment. He had only gained 3 ounces, so I had to begin supplementing formula with my milk. And now at 6 months he weighs 15 lbs 9 oz. So he is back on track, praise the Lord!
- Just last week we started adding some solids, starting off with rice cereal and now we've done a little bit of butternut squash and rice cereal with bananas. his face when he tries new food is hilarious!
- He's still not rolling over, but will move all over his play-mat and definitely has the strength too, but just doesn't seem to mind just hanging out.
- He loves his jumper, I think a lot of the reason is because he can see everything that's going on in the house.
- He has slept through the night 3 times, I think...but usually only wakes up once, maybe twice...He also, is a great nap taker as long as we are at home. He still takes 3.
