David @ 15 Months

What is it about putting tennis shoes on a kid this age that makes them look so big? David is such a little GUY now- baby days are gone for good. He’s such an easy-going little guy in many ways. He’s been waking up every morning around 5:30am. It’s the same routing every morning: I go into the bedroom, he says “gi ooooouuuutt!”, I say “no. night-night.” and give him his pacifier (he calls it his “da-da”) and lay him back down and leave. He doesn’t scream in protest or cry any longer; he just goes back to sleep. I’d let him cry, to maybe get past this early waking thing, but that would wake Jack up and once Jack is up, he’s up.

We had to buy yet another gate. This one stretches all the way across where our living room meets the kitchen dining area.

He is not amused.

He is definitely not easy-going when it comes to being contained. We had no choice though, as he was pulling down the one going into the kitchen and it was damaging the cabinets.

David is still a car fanatic. The first thing out of his mouth in the morning is “car-car”. Yesterday at breakfast, he picked up a Cherrio in each hand, held them up side-by-side and said, “car-car!” His pronunciation is sort of Boston-accented: Cah-Cah.
