22 months

This picture was from Tour De Fat in Sept in Denver. He had a lot of fun running around but when it was time to leave... Terrible 2s have definately started. A meltdown ofr about 5 blocks to the car. Everyone giving us the eye. He recovered and had a great time eating on the patio of a new BBQ place we found. He really charmed the waitress.

We’ve been a bit busy with a whiney baby. He hasn’t felt good in about 2 weeks and we certainly pay the price on weekends. This is an ominous sign as we near the winter months. Not good. I’ve been sick for about a week now as well. Not good either. Our break was that he got a 103 fever on Friday night and threw up most of the night. Friday night and not a week night. He has been especially clingy over the past couple weekends. A sure sign he is sick. Really clingy on Friday night and wanted to be carried everywhere. I should have known.
We have a big day tomorrow with Race for the Cure. The largest one in the country and it goes right by our house. We’re meeting up with Jack and Delsy twins in his daycare tomorrow to do the walk. It will all depend on the weather. A small cold front came through today so no more summer weather and its going to be a little chilly in the morning. We’ll see how the morning goes and how he feels.
We watched the Sunday night Bears game on the deck with Griffin on my lap. He saw a Ipod commercial that shows the various nanos one at a time lining up on the screen and then begin to drip color of their shell. When the commercial came on he said “Apple” a word I’ve never heard him say before. The only apple you see in the commercial is a brief view on the back of an Ipod. Weird.
He does a very good job of babbling of sentences now. He rattled off a whole story on the way home tonight and walked down to the cafeteria the other day and chatted with the lunch ladies until they gave him a cracker.
He pesters the cat constantly though they both are pretty good at instigating things. She must think any attention is ok and though he’s been a bit rough on occasion she hasn’t taken a swipe at him yet. He has tested her patience. I thought she was going to get him the other day when he was giving her head butt kisses.
Kim said she saw him practically crawling out to the crib today. We’re not sure what we are going to do when that happens. All bets are off.

We're going downstairs in the next couple of days and measuring him against the wall. We had to roll down a pair of pant legs that we used to have to roll up and a few others look like floodwater pants. Growth spurts. We just bought some 4s today.
