On Sunday we had some of Jake's family over to celebrate with cake and ice cream (not everyone was able to come but we still had 21 people come!!!) Everyone had fun playing and talking and John seemed to like the attention. We are so lucky to have family close and lots of them to play with.
Here are some of the things that John likes right now:
1. He loves his little plastic tiger. He plays, sleeps, eats, and takes a bath with it. He loves to growl like a tiger and really likes checking out the tigers teeth.
2. He loves to pretend to be an animal. The other day I was throwing a little ball up the stairs, letting it roll down, John would watch it come down and then, without hands, pick it up with his teeth and then crawl over to me just like a dog. He loves to stick out his tongue and lick the kids, which gets everyone giggling.
3. John loves to be silly and chase the kids around the house.
4. John likes to make faces (faces that look like he is confused, angry, sad, happy, surprised and big cheesy faces)
5. John likes to run wild whenever he can. At the grocery store, the park, the kids elementary school. When his feet touch the ground he starts running!!!
6. John really is good at pretending and entertaining himself. Lately he likes to get 2 barbie cars and put his animals in each one and then make them crash into each other.
7. John really doesn't like to take a nap, so for the last couple of months I have been rocking him to sleep. He loves to look at his blanket that Grammy make him (he like to talk about what each thing on the blanket says, like car, horse, duck, train, etc...) and then wrap up in it and let me sing to him and rock him. It really is one of my favorite things each day.
8. John loves when his daddy comes home or just talking about him. He gets so excited to see him and play with him.
Travis is loving having a little brother around to play with. They have a lot of fun together!
John has the funniest ideas and does the silliest things. I just love the way he eats teddy grahams, first the arms, then the legs, then the ears and then sets the body aside! I wish I could understand what he says half the time because he is always talking!
Yesterday John thought it was really cool that the Trix would stick to his hand. But then he figured out that if you push a little harder to pick them up they would crunch and make a big mess! Boys are soooo predictable!!!
Some of the words John is saying at 2: Dad!!! (always with much excitement), "it's stuck", "oh no!", what, "here I come", kids, Travis, Suzanna, night night, "ready set go", please, and of course lots of animal sounds!
