One of the reasons we know you're not a baby anymore is because you transitioned yourself to a "big boy" bed. One night when we went to put you to bed, you pointed to the twin bed in your room and said, "Dah dite." So I asked you if you wanted to sleep in that bed, and you said yes! Daddy removed the box spring and frame so that the mattress was right on the floor, and we put pillows down just in case you rolled off. But you haven't yet, as far as we know! And there have only been two times in the last month that you have gotten up after we have put you down. You have done so well in that bed and I'm so proud of you! (You are still taking some naps in the crib.) The next step is me finishing the toddler bed I got for you. It needs a new coat of paint, and it just seems like I can't find time! Or when I do have time, it's too hot outside. But it's FINALLY cooling off, so hopefully I'll get it done in the next week or two.
I'm going to combine two posts in one, since I got so very busy that I missed posting last month. Yesterday you visited the ER for the first time! You were bouncing on a rocking horse toy in the nursery at church, and you fell and hit your head on a rocking chair, I believe. There was some blood and some tears, but by the time I got to you, you weren't crying. Julie Elliott, Michele Cooper, and Josh Penwell all took very good care of you at church, and then we headed to the Kaiser ER where you got 2 staples in your head. And you were so brave! You cried for just a little bit, and then you were back to your sweet, happy self. And of course, we took you to get some ice cream, simply because you asked for it. :^}
As far as new things you can do: you are counting to 10 on your own, you are learning how to recognize letters, you know colors, and you're starting to speak in sentences. No still seems to be your favorite word, even when you mean yes. Hopefully that changes soon!
Here are some photos from the last 2 months:
 |
| You just decided to cuddle with me one day in Daddy's chair, and I was in heaven. |
 |
| And shortly thereafter you took my water and the chair. Such a big boy! |
 |
| You and I went to Pismo to visit Gabby and Makayla after she got out of the hospital and I snapped this photo of you sleeping because I just couldn't resist. |
 |
| Some snacks from your bug birthday party! These are caterpillars and ants on a log. |
 |
| Butterflies from your bug party. |
 |
| The bug party snack spread |
 |
| Your bug cake that Grandma Lety made. |
 |
| You had a cupcake. Pretty sure you loved it! |
 |
| First Cowboys game of the season. Cheese! |
 |
| Daddy bought this new mustache cup for you. |
 |
| You are just too handsome with your new shirt and new Storm Trooper shoes! |
 |
| I looked away for a minute and you covered yourself in a veggie pouch! |
 |
| Your cousin Mark married Laiken on Catalina Island Oct 2, and this is you and Uncle Eric the night before, looking out at the boats on the water. |
 |
| After the wedding, we stayed at Nana's house for a couple nights. And since it was still hot outside, I promised you we could go swimming. Well, you and I and Brother were out there for all of 15 minutes before you were shaking from the cold water, so I let you "swim" in Nana's bathtub for a bit after. |
 |
| First Sharks game of the season. Cheese! |
 |
| This was the morning after you spend the night with Miss Samara and her family. Daddy and I had gone to the first Barracuda game in San Jose, and it looks like you REALLY missed us... ;^} |
 |
| This photo stabs me through the heart, in a very good way. You are such a sweet little prayer. We pray before bed and before we eat, and if we forget, you always remind us. |
