Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?

Little Man is quite the vocal one. Everyone says he has to try now, or else he will never get a word in with this family. The words he decides to say amaze me. The first "word" of shock value was "backpack." He used to love the Dora the Explorer theme song, as well as the "Backpack" song. Twenty-one days before he turned one, he said backpack. It shocked me. Why did he choose backpack? It's a two syllable word that is not the easiest to say. He said it perfectly clear. The new word is DIEGO! He doesn't even watch Go, Diego, Go. It doesn't hold his interest, but he has heard the themesong. Who knew he would pick up on the name Diego? The REALLY funny thing--he says it like they sing it on tv--Di-eeeeeeeeee-go! It's so cute! Another word that he says perfectly is "tickle." He tickles EVERYTHING. The child is hilarious!

WooHoo!!!!

Love for the DoodlePro

Little Man loves his DoodlePro that Nanny and Papa bought him. He takes it with him EVERYWHERE! We call it his 'AngerDoodle' because he often gets mad at it and throws a tantrum when using it. Little Man fell asleep with on the floor with his DoodlePro today. Oh to be young and just fall out!

Too fast, too soon!

Little Man is learning to feed himself with a spoon. Last night he ate what my Nanny calls "pantry stew." It's basically random ingredients thrown in a pot, and it creates a nice stew. Well, Little Man decided he wanted his own plate yesterday. Fine. Then he decided he wanted to feed himself. He smashed the stew up, then scooped it onto his spoon and ate it. Who knew that the day he turned 16 months old would make him so very independent?

What's happening to my baby?

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!! We love you, even though you are HALF A CENTURY old! :)

Fall Festival...wheeeee!

Well, the Fall Festival was not really what I would call the most fun in the world There were tons of kids in cute costumes, but the booths were really lame. Nearly every booth was a beanbag toss game. LittleMan really couldn't do a whole lot, but it was nice to get try to partake in the activities. I did get some boiled peanuts out of the ordeal, so it wasn't a total bust! It was so packed that we didn't even get great pictures.

Ready for the Weekend!

Yay! The weekend is here! We are finally getting some nice fall weather. It's 53 outside right now and so COLD! :)

Our town is having a fall festival for the kiddos today, so we are going to attempt to put Little Man's costume on him for the festivities. I have a feeling he will end up in a Halloween t-shirt and jeans. I'm sure we will end up with cute pics nonetheless!

The Gators also play Kentucky today. The Coach is having issues trying to fit everything in to our schedule due to the fact that the game is on today. Don't you know that the world stops for Gator football? :)

Tonight is a birthday BBQ for Gigi. Gigi will officially be *OVER THE HILL* tomorrow. Little Man will also be 16 months old tomorrow! Where has the time gone?

Hopefully with all that we have going on today, Little Man will be tired and will sleep well tonight! :)
