Play Date Fun
David had a fun play date Tuesday afternoon.
Here he is ready to go; thanks to Aunt Brenda we had the other side of his Santa outfit to show off!
cookie decorating
sprinkles
lots of finger licking
delicious icing... that was all David wanted
fun in the tent, funny David really wanted to play with Mommy this day
watching the vacuum pick up the sprinkles from the creative work of children... David stood and said, "EEEEEEEEEEE," the sound of the vacuum
Abby's mom and play date host

Candy Monster
Can you understand the words of this 1 year old?
And then Daddy came home and this...
Grandpa Ed and Aunt Amy introducded David to M&M's around Halloween; he has fallen for the tiny bits of chocolate covered in a hard candy shell. We bought a bag just for decoration and David saw the bowl sitting on our breakfast table the first day. We are now rethinking this decoration and are considering hiding the bowl until company comes... which is rare these days.
David has fallen right in line with the M&M lovers in his family - Grandad, Aunt Christie, Cousin Luke, and Cousin Kayla

Thank You Aunt Brenda
Aunt Brenda made David a new Christmas outfit. It is reversible and gives us two options for the season! We love it; David points to it and says, SANTA!, when he sees it in his closet. Thank you Aunt Brenda for sharing your time and your talent with us - we love this!

Santa has Come to Town
This morning after our workout we skipped the Farmer's Market and headed to see Santa at the mall. We were unaware that it was breakfast with Santa morning... we thought we would be avoiding the crowd.
Anyway, David walked up to Santa and sat in his lap all on his own, he has been saying "Santa" this week. He looked at Santa while Santa was talking to him; he was again so fascinated with Santa, just as last year, he did not look toward the camera. After a while of sitting in Santa's lap he stared at the floor, waiting for something else to happen... nothing... so he slid out of Santa's lap and gave Daddy a hug. Off they went to ride the carousel while Mommy waited in another line for the picture.
David's second trip to Santa
David's first trip to Santa
Ho Ho Ho!

Mama Tried
Our tree has been standing in our living room since Sunday in only a skirt. Tonight was our family night for decorating. Angie anticipated that David would not be thrilled with hanging ornaments, but thought the lights would catch his attention.
After all last year he loved them
This year when he spots lights he says "lights lights."
There was hope on Angie's part that this would begin a fun family time that David would always look forward too... here is how the evening really went...
Daddy and David inspecting the lights
after about 30 seconds David moved on to playing with his nativity
he then requested to water the tree after about 2 minutes with the nativity
upon spilling water he ran into the family room where we had on the Rockefeller Christmas Tree lighting special... this was providing our Christmas tree decorating music. David decided dancing was better than decorating
at commercial break David ran back into the living room to "clean up" the spilled water
(notice how far the lights made it up the tree)
when another helper joined us
Mama declared everyone to bed and she finished the tree
Maybe next year, but probably never will there be interest in decorating... like father like son.

18 month Stats
David turned 18 months a week ago today. We had his well check this morning. We are still working toward gaining weight. However, other than that David is doing well. His vocabulary is larger than the average 18 month old child and he seems more social with strangers than his peers. We continue to love every minute we get to spend with our growing and happy baby boy!
15 months:
Height: 30 inches - 25th percentile
Weight: 17 pounds 12 ounces - below the 5th percentile
Head Circumference - 44.5 cm - 5th percentile
18 months:
Height: 31 inches - 10 - 25th percentile
Weight: 19 pounds 6 ounces - below the 5th percentile
