April in Review

So this really isn't the end of April, but I post (or try to) right after Peyton turns the next month.

What Peyton Loves Right Now:
Walking down the stairs in the morning. This is brand new this week.  It must be because he turned 18 months.

He loves to read.
He loves to dance.  He likes Glee especially.

What I love right now:

When he walks around, he is so proud of himself.  He goes a little ways and giggles and runs back to my arms.


Biggest struggles:

When he doesn't listen.  I understand he is 'all boy' but he causes me to gasp at least once a day.

Exciting Milestones & Physical Changes:

He follows directions surprisingly well.  He helps me pull the curtains shut when it is time for a nap.  He knows if we have to throw away something where to go. 

He can follow directions-  put away the book, sit down

Month Word List

Momma- everything is momma even Randy! He is not amused.  
Calls CJ- EEEE-LA
bye-bye while waving- with one or both hands
more
dadda
ball
book
tickle-tickle-tickle 

Animal sounds

He "barks" woof woof like a big scary dog, not like those ankle biter dogs lol

Body Parts He Can Identify:

nose, hair, feet, ears he touches them at the same time



Things We're Looking Forward To:   

Going for a walk on the beach.  We went for a walk by the beach, but never went to the actual sand.
Plus we got a new stroller that we can plug in our iPhones.



The frog was a present from a student/son of a friend of mine. 

Watching the Notekins on Baby TV. 

Lounging on CJ.


Over seeing CJ's dinner.


My Grandma Jane celebrated her birthday.

 Jumping at Monkey Joe's.


Driving with daddy at Monkey Joe's.


Sliding 


Dump cereal on floor to share with CJ.

Trying out the slide on the deck. 
Although I don't know what he likes more-
climbing up and sliding down or
walking in and out of the house lol
climbs up, slides down, runs into the house
runs out of the house and climbs up...


Running out of the house.


We celebrated Randy's birthday.

First walk in the yard.


We celebrated you turning 18 months by giving you a car.

Easter Basket

Last Easter: 


But this year, it's a whole new thing. He's still easy going, but I don't want to fill his basket with a bunch of candy.  I haven't bought him any candy so far. 

I also plan on making him some crayons if two things happen- one I can find my bin of old crayons and two, I can find molds to make them.  I have been unsuccessful at finding the ones I want locally. (well I found a mold.... now I still have to find the crayons lol)


Fishing pole and fish! 


Bath book and regular book :)


Markers and letters and numbers:


Socks!!!!
Yes there are doubles- duh different sizes :)

sees the photo and says "Ball"
