Off the top of my head

I thought it would be a good idea to keep track of the little things that my Moo does and has done. I know that as much as I think "I'll remember that," I really won't. Case in point, I read back over some notes that I started keeping last year about Moo. And yup, I forgot about most of them. I wish I had started this sooner, but better late than never, right? Let's see what I can remember off the top of my head. This will be an evolving list and hopefully I will categorize it one day, but for now, I'm just spouting off what I can.

1. He calls a smiley face "Ha-Ha"

2. His first words were Mama and Dada but his first real word was "bird"....much to my dismay considering my irrational fear of birds.

3. He called drinks "Ahh" for a while as in the sound you make after taking a refreshing gulp from a drink.

4. He whispered "Pop-Pop" for the longest time because when I taught him the "p" sound, it sounded like a whisper.

5. He started walking at 9 months....running came very soon after and he's been on the go ever since.

6. He has known his letters since about 16 months old. He could recognize and say them all by 18 months.

7. His first true love was sticks.




8. He slept in his swing for the first few months, now at almost two he still loves to swing.

9. He needed to be swaddled as an infant because if not, the movement of his arms would wake him up.

10. When he first started to talk, he would says "A-Whazzaatt?" all the time. Translation: What's that?

11. He LOVES trucks and anything with wheels.

12. I can't get him to color to save my life.

13. He's a really picky eater. Really.

14. He loves dogs and animals. He wants kisses from them. Horse, goat, pig, he doesn't discriminate. He'll just stick his little face down next to theirs and say "Kiss, please."

15. Right now, 22 months, he has the word "please" confused with "yes". So, it sounds to other people like he has really good manners. Example: Would you like a cookie? "Please." Do you need help with that? "Please." But there there's also examples like, Did you see turtles today? "Please."
