The photo above shows Baby K and Daddy "driving" a boat this past weekend at the Bass Pro Shop. Baby K was not a fan of the giant fish in the aquarium, but he loved the boats and the elevator, which was partially glass so riders could look out over the store as they rode from one floor to the other. Prior to our trip to Bass Pro Shop, we went to Fairhope and visited a few of our favorite stores there. Baby K enjoyed the book store, but of course his favorite was the toy store where they had a big Thomas the Tank Engine play table with lots of engines. He also enjoyed the baby dolls, and he loves real babies as well, so Daddy and I are considering buying him a soft baby doll of his own. After all, boys need to learn how to be daddies, just like girls need to learn how to be mommies!
We've had an eventful summer. Baby K spent three days each week during June and July at Moms' Day Out. He loves going-- he's always been a social baby and has always loved to go places, so MDO gives him the social interaction he needs and gives me the time and space to myself that I need. For one week in July we visited Grammy and Grampy, and Grandma and Granddad came down for July 4th, along with Great-Aunt Boo, Uncle R, and cousins M and E. It was a noisy but fun house that day. One day during the week we visited Great-Granny in Nashville, and Keenan loved showing her his trains and sitting on her lap to watch a Thomas dvd. He even gave her a hug before we left, which is rare because he's always active!
During Baby K's two-week break from MDO, we played with friends, visited Daddy at his office, went to our church's ladies' Bible study, and got on each others' nerves. We're not used to being together 24/7, and we each need a break from each other to enjoy being together. The last three or four days of his break, the first or second thing out of Baby K's mouth every morning was "Daddy home?!?!" asked with such hope. Yesterday he asked for Daddy every ten minutes at least. He was pretty happy to see Daddy when he finally came home from work, but not as happy as I was!
favorite toys/activities: toy vehicles of any kind (trains, buses, police cars, trucks, etc.); Little People Noah's Ark; foam letters and numbers for the bathtub; cooking in his toy kitchen (he'll often tell me he's baking cupcakes, though tonight he cooked soup); singing; pretending to lead singing; "chasing" our cat Miles (this involves Baby K walking very slowly behind Miles, giggling, and Miles trying to ignore him); sweeping with his toy broom and "vacuuming" with his popper toy; helping me cook by adding the ingredients I give him; TALKING ALL THE TIME!
favorite foods: chips/crackers/pita with hummus; milk; peanut butter and jelly; fruity bunny-shaped snacks; cupcakes; pizza (made with dairy-free cheese, or without cheese at all); bananas; applesauce; French fries; ketchup (doesn't have to be on anything; he'll eat it with a spoon if we let him!); soy or coconut milk yogurt
favorite songs: "The Lord Told Noah There's Gonna Be a Floody Floody;" any song by SteveSongs, a kids' artist; "God is So Good;" "Hello Again" (song from VBS this year); "Wise Man and the Foolish Man" (he calls it "The Building Song")
favorite shows: We try to limit how much tv he watches on any given day, and what he watches depends on our schedule, etc., so he sees several different shows, but not all on the same day! He especially likes "Super WHY!", "Sesame Street," "Curious George," "Thomas the Tank Engine," "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune."
