A Day of Videos (and Pictures)

So I really enjoyed myself last year when I just snapped Peanut's life all day long. I've been wanting to do it again, however I wanted Boi to be home the day I did it, and I wanted to catch Peanut first thing in the morning to start. Today finally both things have occurred  so today I will be capturing highlights (and lowlights) of his day.

 It would appear that he doesn't cry, however he did wake us up this morning crying, but reverted to chilling out and waiting for us by the time I got the camera. I love that he's starting to be able to chill out a bit in his crib :)

Ok, we're up! I'll turn on the TV, ok? Yay, I found the button!

Wait, no TV? Diaper change? Fine, I'll read this book while you take care of that.

I love mornings where all the sippies are dirty. Bottle of milk and pancakes!

 Poor cats have it rough, all they want is a little sunshine!

Time to sabatogue Daddy's radio. 80s music is not my style!

After spilling his milk all over him, it was clearly time for a change of clothes. And more reading of his favorite book.

Peanut likes to climb Daddy :)

From climbing to piggy back ride. Weeeeeee~!

Time for a snack. Well, it's for me, but I shared my string cheese.

Went downstairs to play. All the loudest toys are down here :)

We went outside to play and to wear him out for his nap. 50s today!!!

I can help!!!

 Yeah, we let him play in the street. Easy running out there, come spring we'll teach him not to.

But Daddy, I don't want to go take a nap, the Packers are on!

Mmmmm nap time. One of my favorite times of the day!

Yawning, took a really long nap - 3 hours!

Long naps need nourshiment afterwards. Chicken and broccoli!

Well, apparently he didn't want to eat as much as he was playing it up. He's big into his 'throwing food on the ground' phase. Also, his waving hands at the end is sign language for 'all done'

Since Peanut's 6th tooth is cutting through, he's extra cranky, so I let him bring his loud toolbox upstairs while I folded laundry. It was.... entertaining for us both? Just be glad this isn't a video.

He was still cranky about his teeth, so I started vacuuming. He loves vacuums, and tried to kiss it.

Since he didn't eat much, we fit in a proper snack time

We had a wardrobe malfunction, therefore an outfit change. Peanut was helping me watch the Mythbusters preview.

Yup, Peanut eats. A lot. 8:00 every night he eats oatmeal, and practices with his spoon. Tonight is apple cinnamon oatmeal (homemade)

The same book he's been carrying around all day, right now Moo Baa La La La is his favorite. He used to respond with Moo when I asked him what sound a cow makes, but now instead he responds at the end with 'pa' - his favorite sound.

We decided we weren't done with the monthday pictures after all, so we decided to continue the tradition. This time on the chair with a sign. He's still 13 months for another week!

Back downstairs! A little play time for the boy.



Daddy came down to join us so Peanut could play on the ball :)



I'm sad I missed one of our favorite things. Usually we're on the main floor when it's bathtime, and we tell him what time it is, and he flails his hands in front of him (that's roughly the sign for bathtime) and runs over to the gate and bangs on it. :( Oh well



Dental hygiene is important, don't you know?




All diapered up and getting ready to put him in his pjs. Peanut has other plans though.

Packer PJs!! Goodnight everyone!!

Thanks for spending the day with us! He's sleeping now <3 and Daddy too!

Peanut Extrodinaire

He's great. Chattering away... Will show that he's one year old with a finger. He loves shaking his head so he gets dizzy and falls down. He's figuring out face parts, and will finally sit in the tub during bathtime. He wouldn't stay in his stroller again today... And he won't leave food on his tray, to the floor it goes. Hoping he sleeps tonight... He didn't last night. Ok, bye!

November fun

Ok, Halloween fun? Peanut was a dinosaur for Halloween, and he went trick or treating at about eight houses? He was hit and walking around and people exclaimed about the cute little dinosaur. He's had some rough time since. At this point I don't very much it's the Reeces we split or the cookie he had from grandma. Yesterday he pooped a lot, six times, and his butt is pretty raw, and I can feel a bulge, or maybe three, On his gums. Stupid teeth.

Today grandma is coming over to play with him. Looks like I have some work to do, yaaaay. But I want to make turkey and squash soup for lunch and also clean, so it will be the delicate balance.

I think we can really say that Has three different works. When he gets mad or sad and wants me calls me mama, he knows what sound a cow makes and when he's chasing the cats he makes a ka sound. All very rough, however he is consistently Saying it.

Sleeeeeeeep

Last night was bad for peanut and I. He didn't sleep well, and I really couldn't sleep at all. He's napping right now, thank good goodness I "ruined my diet " by going to Arby's and getting a sandwich and a Diet Coke. Really I went for the Diet Coke. I'm hoping were both a little happier after he wakes up more awake. Hopefully Boi Will be home early and won't go back into work after his special thing. Then he'll be home between three and four which would be great. If it's not raining we'll go outside later, as he is enjoying playing in the leaves and such.

Still coughing still not tooth. Good thing I love him. I'll try to post something happy later on. For now, here he is last night with Great Grandma P

Outside Play

It's a nice day outside, at least it was before it started raining. Grandma came over today play with peanut, they had a blast. He has been pretty vocal the last few days and also May have finally picked a first word. Mama :) we are struggling with the conversion to one nap a day. But to get him to take a second one, if there is even time, is like pulling nails. He had been taking two a day while he was sick, and his sleeping was getting better - 10 hour stretches at night. Last night was nothing like that, and it was his first one nap day in a while. But he also has that sixth tooth coming in. But I don't know. I tried to get him to nap longer today but he actually napped less. Rolling eyes. Hopefully the rain stops soon and the temperature doesn't drop, will go play outside and wait for his daddy to come home.

More teeth!

Ok , updating quick via my phone. Hopefully this increases the frequency of my posts, as peanut won't let me use the computer much while he's awake. He now has five teeth, and the sixth tooth is on its way. It better be soon. He is extremely cranky, and the very very very bad teether. Two more weeks until Halloween, Peanut is going to be a dinosaur. We tried on the past two months already, but he wasn't a huge fan of it. Hopefully if we try it a few more times he will like it for trick or treating.

Sorry for any typos and the like, I'm doing a voice post... Peanut is running around the kitchen finding cheese from his lunch stuck to his highchair. I guess there's no real harm in letting him eat it. Last night for the first time he brought us one of his socks and shoes to put on his feet. Usually he just wants us to put them on ourselves, but this kid seems to have an undying love of shoes, that's for sure.

I uploaded a few pictures to the post, I'm not sure how the mobile app will display it's quite but hey we'll give it a shot. One of them is at the children's museum, where we found a train table. He wasn't too interested in the trains but he like to tell them on the ground so there's that. The other one is of his new haircut. Even his daddy thought his hair, especially in the back, was getting quite long. So I took the clippers and a 1 inch all around his head, did a pretty good job with only a couple little long strands left in there. But being a squirmy baby, he had had enough so we will get it another day.

Pretty good for just quick update, have a good one.

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 :)
