I realized I have been kind of terrible at updating what Hayes is doing and saying. I know I will want to remember all of his little milestones, so here goes:
He is talking SO MUCH! He has started to put some words together too. I feel like I maybe think he says more things that he actually does, but he tries, so I count it. He loves to point out all the trucks and cars when we drive. He can say a lot of his letter sounds, but its hit and miss when he will actually say them. We have started to talk more about colors and counting. I know I need to do better at singing the ABC's and working on things. We have been doing really good at reading at night and Hayes loves to find the dogs and balls in every book. I couldn't even begin to list all the words he says, buts its a lot. My favorite (and sometimes not so favorite) thing he does is he yells "Mommmmm Mommm!" Then I'll say "What Hayes?" and he'll say "What!!" and laugh. He thinks is so funny. He says some words funny too, like he'll ask for water and he'll say it more like "What er" He sounds British when he says it. Its pretty funny. He also says "Teet Teet!" all the time, which means "Treat!"
Hayes loves movies and his favorite one right now is Tangled. He still loves Frozen (or Fro Fro as he calls it). He is starting to love Curious George. He still loves Letter Factory, but I have been terrible at putting it on. I 'll do better. Hayes absolutely loves Story Bots which is just short little clips of animated songs on You Tube. He will yell "Bots Bots!" every time he sees a computer or a phone. He loves to watch them while we change his diaper, and I'm happy to let him watch them because then he doesn't stick his hands down there while I'm trying to change him. He also still really loves music and a group called Beats. They were on X factor and he loves to watch their clips on Youtube.
Hayes hates socks and hates his high top sneakers. He loves his blankets and especially loves them straight out of the dryer. Hayes loves to be outside and playing at the park. He gets in trouble in our back yard though. We have a whole bunch of grass on one side of our house and on the other side its just dirt and rocks. We have a rule that he has to stay on the grass part and if he goes over on the dirt, he has to come inside. He struggles with this rule. On the dirt side there are a lot of gross and dangerous things though and he just doesn't get that yet. I'm trying to convince Sam to put a small fence up and divide the two sides so we don't have to have the same fight every time he goes outside. Hopefully Sam will put the fence up in the next couple of weeks.
Hayes loves books. He has a bucket of books in his room and loves to sit behind the rocker and look through all of them. Hayes also loves balls and trucks and if any of those things lights up, its even better. Hayes is quite the climber. He climbs up on the chairs and sits at the table like such a big kid. He climbs on all of his toys, the couch, the table, our bed, and basically anything else he can. He thinks its funny to try and run on the couch and jump onto the ottoman. He gets in big trouble for that one.
Hayes is great eater but most of all he loves fruit. Grapes are his favorite. He could eat fruit all day long if we'd let him. He loves pears too. One night this past week he woke up and was crying. I went in and got him. He instantly wanted to get put down and opened his door and ran into the kitchen. He pointed at the counter and said "Pear Pear!" hahahaha I gave him one, he took a bite and handed it back to me. He got a drink and then went back to bed. He's for sure Sam's child.
Hayes loves kids. He loves to be around kids and to play with them at the park. He just really loves other kids. The other day we were at the park and it was time to go. He didn't want to leave and was throwing a pretty good fit. I had to get to work so I said "Hayes, do you want to go play with the girls?" He goes to our neighbors to play and she has two little girls. He instantly said "Ya Ya!" and got in his stroller! Hahaha.
Hayes is pretty silly and funny. He LOVES Gator. One day we walked to the park and took Gator with us. A little girl came running up to us and wanted to pet Gator. Hayes instantly ran to the playground and completely ignored her. She started petting Gator and talking to us, when Hayes saw this he turned around and came and wrapped himself around my leg and the grabbed Gator's collar. He looked at her and made it very clear that we belonged to him. Once she got the message, he was fine to go play some more. I'm still laughing about this.
Hayes really isn't a great cuddler. He's way to active for something like that. I'm really not either, but sometimes I wish he would just snuggle up to me, or let me rock him to sleep. but that's really not him either. My favorite thing he does, that makes up for all the missed snuggles is sometimes he will come up to me, grab my face will both hands and plant a big kiss right on my lips. I absolutely love it. He only really does this to me, not Sam, and that makes me love it even more.
