What an active month we’ve had. Sorry for not updating like I should, we’ve just been sooo busy. P-nut is growing up so fast and doing so many new things. Talking for one. He’s really starting to pick up on the words now. He understands just about everything we say to him. He’ll put stuff in the trash if we ask, he’ll even turn on/off the lights if we tell him to. He’s even starting to put a couple words together to make small sentences. I’m going to try my best to make up a list of all of what he is saying, so here goes…

sit down

Noises/Sounds he makes…

ooooooo [when he thinks something is neat]

Those are all the words that come to mind at the moment. If I think of any more I’ll add them to the list.

If you don’t know by now, we are moving…out of state! Fifteen hours to be exact. I’m anxious to start potty training p-nut but I want to wait till the big move for fear that once we do move and get into our new environment that he won’t want to go potty. So he’s got a month of being a “baby” before he starts his transition to “big boy”.

P-nut is loving summer! He loves playing outside in the hot 100 degree weather, me not so much. He loves the waterhose even more. I have a mist setting on my garden hose and he absolutely loves it. We also have a slide and swing for him to play so I don’t have to go to the park everyday. And don’t even get me started on the sandbox. He adores the sandbox, he loves to try to cover up his feet in the sand.

Just recently he has learned to take off his pamper when I tell him to. He will go and put it in the trash when he takes it off so that I can put a fresh one on.

My little helper. P-nut tries so hard to be a big boy. He wants to help mommy do everything. Now when I put up the dishes he is in charge of the silverware [minus the knives of course]. He knows to put them in the correct drawer. Sometimes he even wants to put the dirty silverware in the drawer too…hee hee. He loves helping me bake things, and helping feed the puppy-dog. Oh thats right, we have a new puppy dog now. His name is KoJo and p-nut loves playing with him. All day long they play chase. P-nut carries whatever toy he can find of KoJo’s all through the house and KoJo runs after him barking and trying to get it.

Saturday, we went to the fireworks show at a local town. P-nut started getting restless towards the end of the night before the fireworks. But as soon as the fireworks went off he just loved it. He oooo’ed the whole entire time, he thought they were so neat to watch. I remember when I was pregnant and we went to see the fireworks, he would jump in my tummy everytime there was a bang. And last year he was terrified of them. Funny how they change.

Coloring…p-nut is fascinated with crayons, not to really color but just to run around the house with them. He isn’t really into the whole idea of sitting down and scribbling. He wants to be mobile. Artist on the move if you will.
