The summer is drawing to a close. We have been busy with growing eggplants, and watching over a sick baby. I hate fevers, and sick babies, you feel so helpless. Thankfully our little man seems to be on the mend and is up to his old tricks. Everything is still "da", he loves to break into the spice cabinet and wreak havoc, as well as the drawer with the pots and pans. He really loves shaking a spice jar and making me dance. He knows that blowing a raspberry will also make me laugh...every single time. Still no walking, but lots of world record speed crawling.

He figured out a while ago how to get his diaper off.... in a moment of weakness I put him down for a nap without pants, needless to say the poo surprise awaiting us when we woke was spectacular.

His two top front teeth are making an appearance, looks like he is going to have a big ole' gap!

I love his little stance and how he liked to pet the eggplant, like it was a new family member

I feel like I am doing my best to keep up with our little man. He is on. the.go. We are wondering when the walking is going to kick in, he loves standing but also likes getting where he wants to go quickly, so he opts for his turbo crawling rather than take the slower way.

 Davy is more and more interested in the dogs and likes to exclaim "da" every time we see one in town, or when the dogs are in a separate room he calls "da!"

He likes most anything we give him to eat and tries to secretly feed the dogs (he knows he's not supposed to) by slipping them food underneath his highchair. His other obsession is the roomba and chases it around turning it on and off with his nose...for some reason. He loves when we plug it in so it can "sleep".  I can't believe how much he is picking up just from watching us around the house. He has figured out how to open the car doors and how to turn on his bath water. He also loves hiding things under his nursery chair and the couch.  He actually helps me with the laundry, loading clothes into the washer, and then the dryer.

 

 

I had to lay down this chair to keep him from zooming off while i'm trying to cook dinner

 

He also entertains me with the chicken dance

We are still enjoying our little garden

It has been so lovely slowly making some changes to our home, we finally put up some curtains! Davy was obsessed with the tools and really liked helping dad put them away.

I think I should find out what grape variety since it is so close to us

Love thy self

The curtains need some hemming, but in the meantime...peek-a-boo for days

 

 "I see you!"

Bath time is still a favorite

Sunday walk and discovering the softness of moss

 

 

Daddy's head is his favorite drum in town

I am completely content when I watch these two together

This seems to be a thing with him, one sock or one shoe

Life is good
