Just like Daddy!

We have been busy busy busy these past few weeks. A lot to update on! Vince is almost done cutting all of his one year molars! They have caused him a lot of pain and discomfort and we just have one more bottom one to break through. It also looks like he is getting more teeth up top. It's always teething, teething, teething around here. He has added some new words to his vocabulary. He says "pool" when he sees the pool out back. He also knows the shape 'circle' and babbles something that may resemble "circle" when he sees one. His favorite color right now is blue and points to things that are blue when he sees them (such as his bedroom wall color or the blue circles painted on the wall at daycare). He LOVES his ring toys! They go everywhere he goes! He woke up early one morning screaming because he saw one on the floor outside of his crib and he wanted it. At Kindermusik they have a few minutes of free play time and the teacher has a few of those rings for the kids to play with. Well Vince assumes they are his and takes them and it's so hard to get his little grip off of them when it's time to put the toys away. Last Monday he saw where the teacher hid the toys behind a door, and he ran over to that door and pounded on it crying. So, yes, he is obsessed with those rings! Vince loves to dance, but his version of dancing is just bopping up and down. Matt and I recently taught him how to stomp his feet while he bops up and down. It's cute! At daycare on Tuesday he kissed a little girl on the lips! He really likes her. Two weeks ago he fed her cheerios. He must have known that it was our last day there on Tuesday and wanted to give her a proper good-bye. (I will no longer be working there) I thought you'd enjoy the picture of Vince playing with the gameboy in his diaper. Just like Daddy!

Vince and his little boy face!

A lot of people told me I'd hate it when Vince starts to walk. Well, I actually LOVE it. It's so nice that he is more independent and can go where he pleases. He is not the type of child to get into things and tear them up, so I really don't have to worry about him too much. Walking has been a huge blessing and we are enjoying it very much!

As you can see from the pictures, Vince was being quite the little ham on Tuesday evening. Can you believe his face in this picture to the left?!? What a little boy! I can't believe how fast he changes. I've never realized how big his head is. He has such a skinny little body and this cute bobble head! What a doll.

Vince is really into taking his toys and placing them all over the house! I will find little toys everywhere. He is also quite good at receiving directions. For example, he is enthraled with the washer and dryer and if I ask him, he will help me take the wet clothes and put them in the dryer. A dryer sheet fell on the floor and he picked it up and put it in the dryer. Such a good little helper! Like I said, this new phase of walking and helping is GREAT! Now if we could just get him to mow the lawn....
