Kevin loves to do whatever big sister does...
Kevin eats lunch with the big kids...
Kevin's first day of Mother's Day Out...
Kevin feels so big when is allowed to feed himself with a spoon...
"Yeah, for me!" Kevin claps.
Spitting out the spoon. When the food is all gone, the spoon becomes a toy...
Kevin's favorite toy for the month... He loves to put the lid on and take it off.
First the lid goes on...
Then it comes off... Wow! What fun!
Kevin after his first haircut...
Grandma introduces Kevin to chips...
Granny tickles Kevin's cheeks...
Kevin and Ellie coloring...
Ellie put a bow in Kevin's hair one morning and called him Kevina, her baby sister, all day!
About a week after his first birthday, Kevin got his first haircut and learned about 5 new words in one week! Throughout the rest of the month, he's learned a few new words, but he doesn't use many of them often. Dog and Duck are among his favorites!
Da - Dog (He LOVES dogs! He says, "Da, da, da, da!!!")
Du - Duck (He also loves ducks!)
Bu - This was great because he was calling birds "du" for a while!
Hi
Bye
Nana - Banana
Nigh Nigh - Night Night
Eh-Yee - Ellie (he's only said this one a few times - when we went to get Ellie from preschool.
Mo - More
He loves touch and feel books! He also loves the books where you can press the buttons and hear songs.
He learned to scribble and made his first drawing for me. Completely on his own, he opened the marker box, picked up a piece of paper, scribbled on it, and walked to me in the kitchen with a big smile on his face, a marker in one hand and his drawing in the other. So sweet!
He's very into putting items inside bowls. It's cute and fun to watch him try to put large objects into small ones! It's fun to see the wheels turning as he learns that books don't fit in yogurt containers!
He also loves to put on hats! He's often walking around in his cowboy hat or Ellie's big pink Easter bonnet! If he sees a hat, you can bet it will be on his head within seconds!
He still takes two naps a day, and he still needs them both!
He has also figured out how to unscrew the top to my mascara and lip gloss. I dont know how he figured this out, but it can make a pretty big mess!
He started going to "Mother's Day Out" once a week from 9:30 to 2:30. This gives me a chance to go to the doctor or dentist child-free!! I also plan to begin using this time to volunteer at a pregnancy center. That's my goal, but it's been more difficult to implement that I thought it would be. Life is just so busy. I'm working trying to slow things down a bit! We'll see how that goes!
