I know it's been quite awhile since I've posted anything new. I'll try to be better. July was a fun but busy month for us. We had lots of family come see us from out of town and Derek and I took a few days to see the Shakespearean Festival in Cedar City while David had fun at my mom's. We took David camping a few weeks back and we've been out a few times with the bikes and the trailer. I've been meaning to post about all of those things individually but I don't think I'll ever get around to it now.
David's growing so fast I can't believe it. Yesterday I took him in for his first haircut and it makes him look just a little more like a big kid than my sweet little baby. I was horrified, but he does look very cute and the back of his hair would get so ratty and shaggy that it really did have to go.
It also seems like every day he's a little more interested in talking. He loves saying all the animal sounds as well as a random assortment of words. Baby, keys, toast, banana, what's that, uh-oh, hat, cat, hot, and cold are some of his favorites. He's also recently picked up the toddler trademarks 'no' and 'mine.' Oh, and did I mention he can read? His favorite book is a collection of nursery rhymes and he loves to flip through and pretend that he's reading. The other week I noticed that he was recognizing the pictures and had a different babble for each one. Peter Piper's been reduced to "Puh, puh, puh, puh, puh" and Baa Baa Black Sheep is "Baa, Baa, Baa." The closest one has a first line of "Bat, bat come under my hat," which David has shortened to "Bat, bat, hat."
Well, that's about all I have time for now. I'll try to be better about posting more often. To finish here's a video of David (who else) having fun using the makeshift waterslide we set up for him in our back yard.
