Peter's birthday party. The bottom right picture just cracks me up!
Peter is a very active little boy. He definitely keeps us busy. He knows all of his letters and will even find letters in things. For example the other day we had spaghetti and one of the noodle was on the table and he said "S" because that's what it looked like. He will randomly say letters that he sees wherever we are. His favorite letter is E, or at least I assume it is because it's the letter he says most often. He's not quite as good with his numbers but he likes to say, "one, two, one, free." We've started working with him on his colors and everything at first is "yeyyow." He will say some of the other colors but I can't get him to say orange. He will specifically request to watch Blue's Clues and Cars. Each request has a hand motion. For Blue's Clues he raises his hands and flashes them like they do in the show. For Cars he does the sign for car where he pretends he's turning a steering wheel. He has started talking a lot more although there's still a lot we don't understand. He is adjusting well to having a little sister. He will give her things like blankets and toys when she's in her swing or bouncy chair. He will even try to put her pacifier back into her mouth. He likes to pat her tummy and say "nigh, nigh." Today he even tried playing with her. She was sitting in the bouncy chair and he put his mini tupperware pitcher between her legs and she would kick it off and he would put it back. He definitely wants more attention now that he sees Josie getting a lot of attention. His good way and my favorite way of getting our attention is to sit and snuggle with us on the couch while watching his shows. His bad way of getting attention is he throws really dramatic fits. He's always thrown fits but now he throws himself on the floor and rolls onto his back and kicks his legs in the air. He's still learning that fits don't get him anything. He's a very goofy boy and likes to take his mattress off of his bed. The other day I went to get him up from his nap and the mattress was across the room and he and all of his blankets and stuffed animals were on the bed.
I'm not sure what he was trying to accomplish...
We're thinking that Peter finally needs his first haircut. We're still debating if we should do it or if we should take him somewhere and do it. We'll see.
Peter loves to rough house and was in heaven with Uncle Aaron staying at our house for a couple days. When someone asked is Uncle Aaron teasing you? Aaron said the answer to that question will always be yes. :)
