When's Dinner

My mom had a birthday dinner for my dad and I.  Look who's ready to eat.  The food was wonderful!  It was like a pre-Thanksgiving meal.

Thanks Mom and Dad.

Warren Stats

Our handsome little man is 19 mo. weighing in at 22 lbs. and almost a yard tall (he's 32 in.).  He loves Nursery.  He loves music, some of the songs he requests to sing are "Rock," (The Wise Man and the Foolish Man) "Happy,"(Happy and You Know It or H-A-P-P-Y) "Rollover,"(10 in the Bed) "Bubble,"(Tiny Tim: The Turtle Song) "Pop," (Popcorn) "Monkey," (Five Little Monkeys) and "Sisiy"(I'm not quite sure how he says it.. Eency Weency Spider).  We don't usually make it through one song after singing a line or two he'll request another song so I call all the songs he loves the Warren Medley.

Just like every little one he loves going places he shouldn't and enjoying new heights.

Coloring and playing with stickers.

Playing with balls throwing them or carrying them up the stairs...

and

 Fitting in small spaces.

Last night he woke up around 2 am (I didn't hear that one) 4 am (I did hear this one)...  At first I said to myself, "Why are you awake you should be sleeping..."  I ended up holding him and rocking him to sleep enjoying this peaceful moment with him and dreaming of a wonderful nap.  Love you Warren.

Christmas

We spent Christmas Eve night up at the Johnson's home.  I thought Warren would be a little more interested in opening presents this year.  He is not quite there yet.  Everyone had to open a gift before he  decided that this could be a pretty cool thing.  Gpa. J. sat behind Warren to be his helper.  Warren started to rip small pieces of the paper from the gift handing them to Grandpa and then saying, "Thank you."  He made it about a 1/3 of the way down and got distracted by this--------------------->

Yes, Nerf guns.  He loved sticking the little Nerf darts into the barrel.  Because of his disinterest in opening his presents I have his Valentine's Day gift (a book) for him already and a coloring book & puzzle for next year.

We had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed being together with both of our families.

Royal Oaks II Gingerbread Construction

December 19, 2010

We had a wonderful time making gingerbread houses with our neighbors. 

Warren had a great time sampling candy from not only our house (Kyle did a wonderful job!), but everyone else's house as well.  He was on the candy prowl, especially the M & M's.

The Lunts with their lovely home.

The Fitches with their winter wonderland house.

The Larsens with the bears peeking out the window to welcome their cousins.

and

The James with the chocolate chip roofing.

I had a fun time baking the homes before.  I loved the holiday smell the gingerbread houses brought to our apartment.  It was amazing. Kyle helped out by trimming the hot houses when they came out of the oven.  Warren helped out by taking long naps.  

Here is a fun video of several family members dancing to the Wii Just Dance game. Of course Warren is the primary star. ;) Enjoy.

Peek a Boo, I'm Watching You

Today I caught Warren trying to attach the nozzle of the pump to the valve of the tire.  Earlier today he tried to comb his hair today too, so cute.  A while ago he discovered where the mop, broom and dust pan were and started to mop, sweep, and just carry the dust pan around the house. Mom and Dad throw stuff away in this white bucket why can't I, the sippy cup today, yesterday it was my visiting teachers white sandles, que verguenza, we had a good laugh at that one!  It is truly amazing how observant these little ones are. He has said a couple more things like blueberry (I pulled out some grapes in relief society and he called them blueberries too) he is working on light.  A swing is Weee or anything that rocks back and forth.  We love watching him and are grateful that he was sent to our home:)
