Soooo Big!

We were both sick last week. Spent lots of time reading books, sleeping and (gasp) watching children's television. However, even sick, N learned one new thing... if you ask him "How big is N?" he gets up on his knees, lifts his hands up in the air and waits for you to shout "Sooo big!"

Talking and sneezing

OK, now I'm sure N is saying 'cat'. We went to Vancouver to visit my sister and her family. They have a cat and two little dogs. N referred to them all as 'cat'. I'd point, say "there's the cat" and he'd point at them and reply "cat". Then squeal and scare them off. He even figured out the lucky cat at a restaurant we were at was still a cat.

One other thing he did last week. We were in bed and he started sneezing. After 3 sneezes each followed by my "bless you", he faked a few more sneezes. Very cute.

Wait there's more!

Yes, one more tooth. Didn't even notice this one coming in. Monday, N was a bit cranky and not napping well. He got a bit of a fever and flushed cheeks. Hubby asked if maybe he was teething. We checked, and a new tooth was already in!

Then there were six

One more tooth appeared this week. That's 4 on top and 2 on the bottom. The drooling has definitely slowed down, and the runny nose has stopped completely. Yay!

Cats

We went to the farm last weekend. There are 3 dogs, 4 indoor cats, and 2 outdoor cats. N was still a bit afraid of the dogs, especially after Gamma came up to him and gave him a big lick, but he was crazy about the cats. Every time he saw one, he'd let out a short high pitched squeek. It sounded almost like he was trying to say "cat". He didn't actually want to pet them, but did want to get nice and close.

Super Standing Guy

N's cousin loves playing Superhero. When he asked what N's superhero name was (N was about 3 months old), Super Baby was already taken. He became Super Standing Guy (since he loved to be pulled to a standing position). His superhero power? His great ability to barf.

Well, he's definitely Super Standing Guy now! He stood by himself at Kindermusik on Wednesday night, and has done it again a few times yesterday.

He doesn't spit up like he used to, so I'll have to figure out what his new superpower is.

They're in.....

Two new teeth! Let's hope the drooling slows down for a while.
