Happy Birthday Son!!!

Ok, this post is late. My son's birthday was actually on November 14th. But as you can see, he's a happy little fella. It took some coaxing to get him to try to actually eat the cake. In the end his Granddaddy helped him with it.





We spent probably less than $20 on this toy and it was a hit. He has to be occassionally reminded that he has it, but he likes to walk with it. Not always forward, but he does walk with it. It gets him a step closer to actually walking, or as I think of it,D-Day.




Since it's been so long since I updated The New Daddy Diary, let me share some news.

Babies, Babies, Babies!!! It's a Bowling Green Baby Boom!
1. We have one friend who has had her second baby.
2. We have another friend who announced she and her husband are expecting their first.
3. We have another friend who has "dropped" and is nearing the birth of her first.
4. We have yet another friend who is prepping for the January arrival of their first.

Spoon!!!!
Our son actually fed himself with a spoon last night. Granted, it was by no means a flawless attempt, but it was pretty well executed for a first timer.

Hugs and Kisses
Our boy now gives me gigantic open mouthed kisses on the cheek when I ask him too. It's wet, sloppy, and sometimes turns into a bite, but it's cute. And he's always so proud of himself after he does it.

Slap hands! Slap hands!
A wise man once said, "it's the little things." It really is when you have children. Our son has learned to clap. I think it's no small coincidence that he learned this at the beginning of Western Kentucky Basketball season. Diddle Arena is a great place to learn how to clap.

Shape Sorters Sort Shapes to Sharpen Senses
To my shame, I have misled you. Our son actually learned to clap from us cheering him while he played with his Shape Sorter he got as a birthday present. He's pretty good at it. He's also smart enough to take the top off and just slam the shapes in there when he gets frustrated. There's more than one way to sort a shape my friends.

That helps bring us up to date. Hopefully I can post more often in the future.
