He's A Fish!!

Though he is certainly part monkey, he also has a lot of fish in him to.

Here are a few pictures from Holiday World last month

Having fun!!!

And MORE fun with the sprinkler!!

And MORE fun with the pool!!!

Oh, and MORE fun in grandpa's truck!!!
This is everything we have amassed in the "I want to take this to bed with me" routine.
And now, the fun for mom and dad has begun!!
For the past couple months we have put him on the potty just for him to know it's there for something other to play IN. For the past two weeks, we've been a little more consistent with putting him on it. He vaguely understands, but not quite. We've had two successes this week and it's cause for a lot of excitement. We'll keep working.

We also went for some 18mo pictures and drug grandma and grandpa with us.

Our Favorite: because this just shows who he is.

What else:

He and Marge are doing great on the days she watches him. He always give her a big hug when she leaves (we know it's because of all the snacks and TV he gets with her).

He's becoming more wary of strangers. If he's in a shopping cart or a high chair he's fine. But more increasingly, not always, he will latch onto us if he is walking and someone new comes up to us.

He tries to make us look like liars when we tell people how much he talks. He NEVER shuts up. Everywhere we go it's "truck" or "boat" or "bird, flap flap flap" or whatever. It's especially fun when we go to the grandparent's house. We always tell their dog, Annie, who he loves, to "get back" when we go in the house. Now he walks in and tells her "back, back!" If we're around anyone other than the grandparents, though, not a word comes out. GRRRR. Sometimes he'll warm up, though.

till next time
