This weekend did not quite go as planned, but we still manged to have a good time. Kristen and Davis both have a cold (runny nose + cough) so we weren't as active as last weekend. We had hoped to go to a bar with Davis to watch the University of Washington (Huskies) football game, but the colds and a late start meant we decided it was better not to go. However, we did wear our matching Husky shirts on Saturday - it was quite amusing to be asked "So, are you big fans of George?" when we were picking up pizza (the shirts simply said: Washington).
This weekend:
- Davis and I went to the Burlington touch a truck.
- I went to the Y for a work out. Kristen and Davis stayed home sick.
- Davis had a 3 hour nap on Saturday. He woke up after an hour and 20 minutes, then slept on me for an hour and 40 minutes. I really enjoy having him sleep on me, so I did not mind.
- Davis had a 3 hour nap on Sunday. This was his first long weekend nap where he did not sleep on me for part of it. It was quite a surprise and blessing.
Davis:
- Can now jump. It is incredibly cute. He throws his hands up in the air and gets just a little bit off the ground.
- Uses a lot more words. He has said in the last week: "breakfast", "grandma", "hungry".
- He is starting to use short phrases including: "All right", "No Way!", "Where is Mom", "Read this"
- Helps put his toys away before bed
- Feeds the cats treats. He tends to favor Domino, but Kristen makes sure Lilly is looked after.
- Climbs into the dining room chairs and sits when we say it is time to eat
- Has a few more teeth. He has at least 9, but it might be 10. Its hard to get a look in his mouth.
- Almost, but not quite, needs his first haircut
- Pretends to vacuum the floor. He connects 4 or 5 of his magnetic cylinders to a ball and walks around making vacuum noises.
- Pretends to play trucks with his mega blocks. Last night, he handed me a block and said "truck" then we drove our "trucks" around the living room.
- Shows a lot more interest in reading. He now brings us books and sits in our laps while we read him stories. He really enjoys "The cat in the hat", "Mr. brown can moo", "Brown bear brown bear, what can you see" and his bedtime stories.
- Pretends to give his monkey water. Pretends might not be the right word for it since he actually gives his monkey water.
- Gives wonderful hugs
- Is staying up later and sleeping in later. He usually goes to bed at 8:00 and wakes up at about 6:30. This is great as we get an extra half hour with him at night and an extra hour of sleep in the morning. Some days, he sleeps in until 7:30 which is great on a weekend, but a little stressful for the week. We've started setting our alarm clocks again which is quite a change.
