And yes he does wear clothes. He gets them super dirty, super quick though so usually takes a couple baths a day and doesn't want to put the clothes back on ;)
Well first steps came before 2nd Birthday! They are only 2-4 and then down he goes but he is trying. He is constantly wanting to walk between Steve and I. Our backs are feeling it. Knocks him out afterwards though so you get a break to do things you need to do without tripping over him. He can book it with his walker though. Watch out! He can say Eat, Go and No along with counting. I am waiting for Now. Oh wait, he just figured out "done". I make him sit in his high chair until he signs it after eating (which he knows). We had a battle of wills (he was screaming and refused to sign done when asked), I left him in his highchair. He decided it was easier to say it and get down to bug me than scream in his high chair while I did dishes. Progress? ;) He has a helmet to protect his head. He can still manage to turn in such away that the exposed area is what he hits. At least ...
Color Run! Michael got to participate with us and end up looking like Zombie baby! We were the Autonics for Autism and Myotonic Dystrophy awareness. First beach: Went to Florence and took Michael's toy walker with us. Let him cruise the boulevard Found out Michael is an attention hog. An older gentleman said something to him when he fell to his knees so he kept repeating the process and looking at him to get the reaction again. It was cute. He also found his BAD restaurant voice. He had been so quiet up to now. Though he wasn't nearly as bad as many toddlers I have seen, I am sure some peoples heads were turning with his demands. Steven was MUCH worse though, that we didn't even take him out to eat when young. The walk on the beach to the water was fun. Michael LOVED the ocean. It wasn't too cold but nice. He wasn't real thrilled with the...
Michael kept developing fevers after swimming at the local YMCA last month. Our neighbor with a pool has graciously allowed us to use it whenever we want. To Steven that means everyday and Michael is in complete agreement. Michael LOVES the water. I have been trying to teach him to float on his back as a safety measure. He can do it, but he keeps turning over to belly and hasn't figured out how to flip back. When we are holding him, he tries to push out of our arms to go forward, BUT he doesn't close his mouth so ends up with water going in the wrong places. Doesn't stop him at all. No fear. Now I understand why drowning is the number one accidental death in children besides MV accidents. We shall just keep on trying and feel good about it being the neighbors pool behind a locked gate and not a body of water in our own yard. He hasn't figured out we have a pond yet (can't get to that part of the yard crawling) and will ne...
Our James enjoys his "freedom" as well! LOL
