These are a few of George’s favorite things. He is now 16 months & likes to be outside to dig around to find rocks, watch bubbles (if you do all the work) and eat berries. It is fun to see him try to work with forks and spoons as he eats before he gives in & uses his fingers. This is most entertaining & frustrating when he eats yogurt!
His language is coming along and we find him repeating some random words. Most recently those words include Matt and dude. He has number of words but he tends to only use them at home. In addition to learning more words, he continues to learn new signs. He loves his Baby Signing Times and can sign apple, baby, time, and we are working on colors & feelings.
CLIMBER! He will climb onto anything he can. Even after a few falls he has little fear about trying new things. Today we went to the YMCA. Similar to other ‘new’ adventures he took about 10 minutes to assess the situation before getting into the water. After getting in he warmed up pretty fast.
We are experiencing the mood changes that come with growing teeth. George has been a bit moody with the painful process. It is funny to see how is appetite comes & goes….though it is more here than not. As soon as we open something he comes running as if he hadn’t eaten in hours.
George will start at a new daycare in August. During the summer he has 2 days at home with dad, then splits the other time between the UWO daycare & sitter/friend Sarah. He is getting to enjoy ice cream, lots of walks, bubbles and exploring this summer. We have visited the new daycare (Arts for Kids) a couple of times and I think he will be happy there.
We are getting ready for a weekend of camping at Long Lake and possibly a trip to the Milwaukee Zoo. Though it seems that summer is moving quickly, we plan to get as much out of it as possible.
