Doodle Updates

I should post a bit of what Rowan is up to these days in terms of milestones.

He walks and climbs like a pro. He is working on running, but loses his balance and falls into walls frequently:)

He is using something closer to words and communicates pretty well with pointing, nodding his head for yes or shaking his head for no. In fact, we are officially calling his first words "no-no"  - said in church with head shaking and a pouty look during a quiet moment that made a lot of people laugh.

He plugs his nose for "PU Stinky!" and he says "Upa" for "up" and "ba" usually means banana, but can mean "I want THAT" if he is just pointing in any general direction.

I know there are more "words" but I can't think of them now. Mama and Dada are pretty regular.

He gets excited when Josh comes home from work and loves musical birthday cards. He "dances" as he carries them around. Oh and he loves game shows (The Price is Right and Let's Make a Deal, specifically). Mostly because he loves to clap:)

He's a happy guy except when the teeth bug him. He now has 3...that's it...just 3...He has had 2 of them for over 4 months now so he's slow in getting his chompers. Doesn't stop him though. He eats EVERYTHING!

He gives big open mouth kisses and frequently wants to snuggle, hug or give his big sister kisses. He finds her very funny too.

He also follows instructions better than big sis. He will help you clean up blocks (only to dump them out again so he can "help" some more) and he will go get his stuffed puppy, blankie, pluggy etc. if you point to it and show him where it is.

I think that's it. He has a 15 month appointment in a few weeks for the stats, and Riley will have an appointment to check her broken collar bone soon too. So more updates to come.
