Today, I decided we needed a more low-key day around the house. For the most part, we did stay around the house, but we ended up having some very exciting events.
1. J learned how to fake sneeze! If you ask him to sneeze he says, "A-CHU!". It is absolutely adorable and one of my very favorite "tricks" he can do.
2. J fed himself very effectively with a fork. We have tried this many times, but it is usually a "play session" with the fork and bowl that ends up in a big mess. Today, he got more food in his mouth than on his tray! I call this a major success.
3. The weather was gorgeous today, so we went for a walk. J decided pushing his wagon was far more enjoyable than riding in the wagon. During this process, he fell which resulted in his first skinned knee. It really was not that bad, but he did cry for a minute...which made me cry. Yes, we were standing on the sidewalk, crying simultaneously over a skinned knee, and our neighbors probably think we are crazy. I just hated seeing the betrayed look on his face when he realized his knee was hurting. After a whole year of protecting him in any and every way possible, I have become quite overprotective. Now that he is walking, I realize there will be lots of "ouchies" and "boo-boos" that I can't prevent.
His first battle scar!
4. Lastly, we went to J's favorite park when Daddy got home. J loves chasing squirrels and ducks! J and Scott chased at least 60 ducks into the lake. I really should have gotten some pictures of my baby squealing with delight as each duck flailed into the water. It just makes my heart so happy!
I bet he sleeps good tonight after such a big day!

Glad that J likes Gymboree!! It's truly a Godsend, especially when its yukky and hot outside - the open gym times are the best!
