Happy Birthday, Peanut!!!

Happy birthday to you! It was a great day, the cake was tasty, the presents were fun, and the company was awesome!

We were sad that it was Auntie K (and soon to be Uncle Z's) last day with us, but K spent most of the day with us, playing and looking after Peanut so that we could prep and clean for the party. Boi was awesome, he basically cleaned the house from top to bottom while I baked and hung balloons and organized party stuff.

Next we have GMa's birthday, hopefully we'll be able to have fun. Peanut got his shots, and he seems very sore. He's also getting over a cold.

He's now 10 inches taller then when he was born. 15 pounds heavier. Head is growing exponentially. Just shy of 30 inches, so technically he can still ride in his infant seat, if he needed to. He knows shoes go on feet, and he knows keys go in doorknobs. He will 'come here' and go get some of his toys on command. Doc says he ought to know 3 words by 15 months. Can't wait!!! He's still a baby till he starts talking. Still my Peanut :)

It's September!

He just learned how to climb this
And it's also only 8 days till Peanut's birthday. OMG! I just have not been doing anything lately. I guess that's what happens when your baby gets on the move. I haven't been scrapbooking either, I have to get caught up before my aunt shows up! Peanut is doing well, he's walking, running, climbing, he can sign 'all done,' 'more,' 'milk,' and can kind of sign bathtime. If he knows others, he doesn't do it clearly enough for me to understand. He's a bit shy when you first meet him, but he opens up quickly. So, actually I think he's getting quieter as he gets older, though he still is much more outgoing then his parents. He's also quite fearless, he chases the vacuum cleaner, he loves it when I blend or process food, the only thing that throws him is when I try to do something without him, or run upstairs for something. Tantrum!!! If I'm eating, he has to have a snack. Good thing he's eating almost everything now. He still can't handle tomato sauce and the like, which is a shame, his daddy loves spaghetti. We'll give it another go in October. He'll be eating spicy food I'm sure before we know it!

Causing mischief! 
Yup, he's eating a lot now. I'm going to make the boys pancakes on Tuesday, I made beet and carrot burgers tonight, and it'll be leftovers tomorrow - however they're too spicy for Peanut, and there are seeds in there, not sure how that would go. So I'm making him mealballs tomorrow I think. That's chicken/turkey, carrots, zucchini, eggs, applesauce, and breadcrumbs, in balls and baked. He also likes spinach nuggets, which is spinach, cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs. But I want them to be a bit more moist, so I'm thinking about maybe adding applesauce to that too. Worth a try! I'm thinking I'll have that at the party, but not the mealballs, I think I'll just have mom bring some smokies over. Then I'll also have fruit and goldfish, all things that Peanut can nom on. I'll try to update once more before the party!
