Bananas Please!
... or should I say NOW!!! lol
David has added yet another word to his vocabulary... well at least it sounds close to the word so I know what he means... when he wants a banana he very insistently says "nAnAnAna" over and over until I get him one... he can and will eat a whole banana in a day, then ask for more at dinner time... that is usually how I know he is hungry. He also says "doth" for dog "dat" for cat, "da" for me and "dad" or "dada" for Charlie... he just recently added the t and th sounds to the end of the words, everything used to be "da" or "dA" with different pitches in tone.
Anyway, the little creepy crawler is really turning into a talker, a walker and a climber... he still needs support to walk, but he is trying to climb toys, furniture and me. He loves bouncing on my lap and giving me hugs... he still hugs his toys and says "aaaaaaahhhhhhhh" very softly. He loves to play with Cole through the playpen siding, she licks or gently nips his fingers when he pushes them at her, an extension of a game we play with him where we tickle his hand, or put our face down and say peekaboo!
Boy is he a bundle of fun! I am so enjoying my time with him. He is learning how to joke and tease by pretending to hand you a toy, all the while laughing as he doesn't plan on letting you take it... laughter is an almost constant sound around here... aside from the occasional temper fit due to tiredness or hunger.... and I am not just talking about David, lol!
Our new cat Roo is adapting very well and even comes up to David for a short sniff. She likes to snuggle with me at night just before I head to bed and she runs amok through the house, eating plants and scaring away the mice. So far she is doing a great job! Her and Cole are having a battle, Roo ignores Vodka and stays far away from Kermit, but Cole started it by charging at her one day and eating her food another, now if Cole even walks past the office Roo will attack her... it is hilarious! The cat can sure hold her own, and poor Cole won't go in the office now... which is what we want... Vodka is also very good about staying out of the rooms that don't belong to her, she is too old to play with Roo anyway... she just wants to nap in peace and go on hikes with Charlie.
Well, Charlie and my anniversary is coming up and we are taking a trip to Montrose for a few days so he can ski Telluride and my family can watch David while we go out and eat together and maybe go to the Ouray hot springs Sunday night (ann is the 2nd, but time off that works for us all due to dog sitting and family work schedules is the 8th and 9th, so we will be celebrating the 9th this year)... we decided not to go to Steamboat as no one would be there and we could just stay home together if we want to be alone with David for the weekend, so we will take some weekdays off in a bit and head out there when everyone can meet us.
Hope all is well with everyone, I will at least try to keep posting even if pics won't upload, as you can see video does just fine on the first try, so maybe that will be what I do instead since I email pics through Walmart.com anyway. A new HUGE upload on its way in the next week, I promise.
