Month 23
Dear Little Man,
Ok, I know that it is now closer to month 24 for you than the 23rd, but you probably know by now, your Mummy is a procrastinator. That is why I didn't have my bags packed for the hospital until five minutes before leaving for the hospital to have you. That is why I didn't go to the hospital when I thought my water broke for several hours, although there is more of a story there, but I think I will save that for another entry. Hopefully you will learn to adapt to the procrastination that runs in your genes (your Daddy is great at it too) and maybe overcome it. If not, it's not so bad.
Let's see, this month you did a couple of fun things. We stopped by one of your Daddy's friends after dropping off K&M at their mom's house one day. He broke his leg in a motorcycle accident and we wanted to see how he was doing. He plays the drums and has a set in his living room. He got out a special pair of drum sticks and let you play the drums. You had a blast! Your face lit up and you got the biggest grin and just went to town. He even let you use the wooden sticks for a while and press on the pedal to make the big drum (I don't know much about drums) make noise. You were very good with being gentle with it, but at the same time, hitting them hard enough to make noise.
In the words department, there still isn't much being said. I know you understand everything we say to you, I can ask you to wipe your mouth with a napkin and you will do it. You can pick out things in books when you are asked and so on. You also have your own way of saying things, such as "brum-brum" for any thing with a motor, whether it is a car, truck or the fan in the bedroom. The cats are "wow-wow"s and so are dogs. This month you said your own name though, and that was cool. You also have started saying "my mum" and "my dad", very cool too. Oh well, the words will come eventually.
You have inherited your dad's and my love of the outdoors. You can be in the worst little mood imaginable and all you need to hear is "want to go outside?" and you are suddenly better and running for the door. This works with going for a ride in the car too. You have a slide and you love to play on that. You also like walking around the yard and running through the grapes. If your dad or I go outside without you and you hear the door, oh boy do you get angry. You like it so much out there that it is hard to get you back inside when it's time to go. I really hope that you stay that way and want to go outside instead of sitting indoors in front of a screen. I will try my best to keep you from that.
Love,
Mummy
