Spring is in the air!

February and March have flown by! I started a new job and have been training full time. I am amazed how there is never enough time.......and I thought that was the case before! Banks has spent time with both Gran and KK and has a new babysitter Rachelle who has been a great fit for us. Thankfully our friends allowed us to share her with them, so Banks and Emma Grace get to play and work on some sharing! They've been to the zoo and to storytime at the library; needless to say, Banks has not skipped a beat with me gone. Here are some pictures and an update!


Words: bye-bye, more, "nana" (banana), ball, Dada, Mama, uh-oh


Most frequent word: "more" (with the sign!) He has finally learned more can be used with other things besides food!


Signs: more and please


Recent obsessions:

1.Going outside. He is like a man possessed. This is the first time we've had warm weather since Banks started walking. He wants to go outside all the time and stands at our french doors and knocks (and cries)........ and occasionally opens the door if we've left it unlocked by accident.

2. Dogs: He will drop everything at the park if there is a dog. He walks straight up to them (no matter how big or small) and holds out his hand to be licked.


Hobbies: going to the park especially playing in the sand pit, taking a shower and playing with the hand-held sprayer, playing in a box (go to the blog so you can see the slideshow below), trying on shoes, riding in his blue car


New tricks: Drinking with a straw, saying bye-bye and waving, saying cheese when you get out the camera, bouncing his head to the music (not quite on the beat yet!)

Favorite book: Tuga-Tuga-Tugboat


Dislikes: Having his face wiped (still), having his teeth brushed


Signs we're headed towards toddlerhood: Hair pulling (Sorry, Emma Grace!)

Fun with a box!
