Daddy, Doggy and Ducky

The "cheesy" cheese smile is back. Check it out. It would be nice if he just smiled nicely for me but then that wouldn't be him. I think these smiles are pretty hilarious.It was actually nice here on Friday, well, if you can deal with all the wind lately. Pete played outside and was dry until I filled up the dogs' water bowl for them. He fully enjoyed getting all wet.

Pete's new game: hide behind the tupperware lid. He does this with most plastic tops or plates that he can get his hands on while eating which by the way is not going well. Pete eats like 4 foods, all carbs like toast or cereal. And don't even think about trying to hide a pea in his yogurt or toast. I hope this is just a phase. This phase has lasted 32 years for me....
Pete playing in the closet today.And here is a cute video of Pete and his walker he got for his birthday. He loves it and chases me all over the house with it all day long. Running into me or the dogs is his favorite part and if he doesn't get a good enough reaction out of you he will hit you again. This week he stood up on his own. He wasn't holding onto anything or even close to anything to grab onto. He was only up for a few seconds but it was pretty exciting. And from this video you can see he is pretty darn close to walking. He is just not ready to let go yet. Either is mom.



Pete officially says three words. Well, I think he can say more but I can't quite decifer them yet. The first word was daddy. He changes from da-da, to daddy, to DAD!!!! He can also say doggy which sounds a lot like daddy but when daddy isn't around and he is pointing at the dogs I know he is talking about them. And I am sad to say ducky came before mommy too. We bought this ducky for our friend who is graduating in May that collects them and he immediately became attached to the thing. He puts it in his walkers and carries it around with him. He lifts the lid/seat/cover to check on him every once in a while and always knows where ducky might be. We had to go back and buy our friend another ducky. You can see the other walker he has in the background. He puts ducky in that seat you see up and walks around honking at the dogs and I.We are pretty sure we heard ma-ma a few times today. We will see if it continues. Mom is ready to hear her name from her sweet baby boy.

Well, I think that is all the Pete updates I have. I am going to take a belly picture tomorrow. 24 weeks now, wooowhooo! And I will give an update on all my new aches and pains. No j/k, not all of them, just some of them.
