In the past few weeks Taedon has learned his where eyes, ears, nose, hair and mouth are.  He points to everything except when you ask where his nose is, he sticks his finger up there and won't remove it so we usually ask that one last.  When you ask where his mouth is he says "ahhhh" and opens it.  He can also point out his hands on occasion.

His latest thing is to get into the high chair by himself and yell "eeeaaattt" when he is hungry.  The other night he even got his silverware from the drawer before crawling in.  It is cute and frustrating at the same time because if I don't feed him, he starts to cry.  

He loves playing peek a boo and hiding behind the shower curtain. He also loves to carry books around the house.  Occasionally he will open one and "read" it but only for a quick second.  He's into stacking things and often will put his toys away without being asked.  Let's hope that one keeps up!

He has two favorite things to do throughout the day.  One is to pull random things around the house in his wagon.  Sometimes toys, sometimes random things he finds from the table, counter, etc.  It's fun to see what he collects.  His other favorite thing to do is puzzles.  He will carry them around and work on them, dump them out and start all over again.

His favorite word is ball and points one out everywhere we go.  It makes it hard to go to Target because the big red globes outside of the doors are mistaken for a ball and he must touch at least one on our way in and out of the store.  He can also spot the ball bin in the toy aisle a mile away and always wants to play with at least one.  He never wants to buy any (thank goodness) but just play with it for a minute.  Usually throwing it and I have to chase it down.

My pregnancy is moving right along.  We got confirmation that it is another boy a few weeks ago at the 20 week ultrasound.  He checked out perfectly and is right on track.  I have been fortunate the past few weeks that my blood sugar has been fine which has made things a bit easier.  I would love to maintain it like it is but not sure that will happen as I get further along.  I feel like I go to the doctor about every week for something which is tiring but necessary I guess.

We went to the park right outside of our neighborhood when the weather was nice and it is amazing how much more Taedon was able to do from the last time we went.  He is such a dare devil sometimes.

Mom, I've got this.  Watch!

Almost there...

I did it!!!!!

Our watchdog stood guard while we played.  

We went to Norfolk for the Labor Day weekend.  Tons of good food, good company and Taedon of course had a great time playing with Audrey.

Taking Audrey for a walk on what was apparently shirtless Saturday.  

The boys and their mini me's at the beach.  

Checking out the sand.  It doesn't look like it but they both loved it.  Especially Audrey.  It was her first time and she couldn't get enough of it.  I think they were washing sand off of her for days.

He probably would have stayed all day but it started to rain and we were hungry so we left to go get some lunch.

The ride home was a quiet one.  Both kids were knocked out most of the way home.  Success!

Enjoying an end of summer Popsicle.
