Blue and purple and green and ye

I had to take Will to the doc yesterday. He had a rash on his back and Dr. Nohle said it could be from the poppyseeds he ate on Saturday. The rash is gone now but I still need to take him in for testing.

While we were there he was asking if Will was saying any words. I told him everything he said and he was amazed. Yesterday he even said "dad bye". Dr. Nohle said they don't normally put two words together until two years old.

This morning after breakfast he kept telling his dad, "color, color!", which really means "I want to dump all of the crayons on the table and put them back in the box, then take them out and give them to you and then put them back in the box". Neil was telling him the colors of the crayons and he was saying it back! He could say blue pretty well and could kind of say green. Yellow and purple were harder, but we could understand what he was trying to say. It's just amazing seeing him develop and learn all of these new words.

Oh, on Saturday he heard me say "oh crap" and tried to repeat that. So that wasn't good. Got to watch my potty mouth!

Ready for College

Will thinks he is 16 months going on 16 years. This weekend he decided that he no longer wanted his banana cut. He would eat it just barely peeled, like the adults do. And when we had pizza mom could no longer cut it up into pieces, he wanted to hold the slice himself and through a fit until I would let him. I guess on one told mom that he was so independent.

We went to Jeff and Lisa's for her baby shower and he had a great time chasing their cat around. He also did a good job of reavealing to them all of the areas of their house that will need to be baby proofed in the future.

Do it again mommy!

Will is a little daredevil!

He's decided that it's pretty fun to get on my lap, hold on to my hands and flip his legs up over his head. He then lands on the floor, grabs my hands, climbs up the chair, then does it all over again! It kind of freaks his dad out. But then again, most things he does freak him out. He hates watching him eat because he thinks he's going to choke. None of this seems to bother me. It might be because I'm around him a lot more and I see what he's capable of so I don't get too worried.

Giving kisses

Will is so funny. He tries to blow kisses now. He will take his hand and put it up to his lips, but instead of blowing the kiss he will take his hand and hit your cheek with it. Sometimes he'll get you pretty hard but he's just trying to give you lots of love. My friend was having a rough day and he did it to her and hit her with his "kiss" so hard that her head jerked to the other side! She needed the big kiss anyway

Eating, and eating and eating...

Will is eating so much! We just went up to Crossroads to let him play. We had lunch there and I got two slices of cheese pizza that I was going to share with him. I'm not kidding that he probably ate 1 1/4 slices and would have eaten more but there wasn't any left. He got really mad when there wasn't any left. We left and were going to come home and feed him some fruit but he fell asleep in the car. Neil thinks we're not going to able to afford to feed him soon!

Lunch with daddy

Today we went to the open play at the community center. After that we went and visited daddy at work. Will was a little shy and didn't want to walk around or smile at anyone. The only time he didn't want me to hold him was when he went in to DH's boss' office to look out the windows. We were on the 12th floor and he thought that was really cool. He doesn't get that from me. I hate heights!

Then we went to Red Robin for lunch. He did really well. We fed him some food we brought (PM & J and bannana). We're trying really hard not to feed him greasy stuff or not give him as many crackers because lately he has been eating a ton. So he sat in his booster seat and ate and just had a great time.

Still talking up a storm!

Geez, I haven't posted in awhile.

Will is repeating EVERYTHING we say! It's crazy. He can say "I got it" and "I did it". We took him to the zoo and he said monkey, and now he's trying to say the names of some of the kids at daycare.

He still has these very serious conversations with us and the look on his face just cracks me up. He is just waiting for us to repond. He also says "no" to everything. Will, do you want some milk? "No!" as he is pointing to his milk. We can tell which no means yes and which one actually means no though.

Vicki, his DCP, said that he's doing great at daycare. His best buddy is Zack, who is 4 or 5. They chase each other around. And she said he is the biggest eater there. Not just for the younger kids, but for all of them! He's going to eat us out of house and home.
