The Blancos: September 2011

I need to blog more simply because it's easier than writing and therefore the only place I'm really recording Davin's milestones. (terrible mother, aren't I) So before he grows up too fast, here's davin's latest update on his growing upness...

Words he says (or tries to say)

Ball
Bottle
Book
Dog
Duck
Mama
Dada
Down (Right this very minute he is playing a game where he stands up and then falls on his bum and says "dow" or sometimes it sounds more like "daw")
Giraffe (I swear he really says this! It usually sounds like "baffe" or "gaffe")

Cute stuff

He's lately started making the "muah" kissing noise and will imitate me when I give him kisses
He actually has just started imitating us all the time, mostly with noises we make(including bodily function noises, if you know what I mean. If he hears them he will make the same noise with his mouth.) hehe
He still loves books. One of his favorites right now is a farm animal book. So far he moos, baas, and woofs.
The other day Taylor discovered Davin in his room on his old baby swing, sitting backwards and just swinging away.

When he likes his food (and sometimes even when I just set him in his highchair) he will start saying “mmm mmm”
He makes this funny little face by opening his mouth as wide as possible while still covering his teeth.

He still loves to chase balls and will roll his body over them and then put his head on the ground with his bum in the air to look at the ball.

Sometimes he just sticks his bum in the air and puts his head on the ground for no apparent reason.

He drinks out of a straw, which for some reason was very exciting…
He likes to dive headfirst off the couch and bed. (I think this means he trusts us enough to know we’ll catch him, or at least that we’ll try) This is me catching him at the last second while still snapping the picture.
