| Christmas, New Years & Justin Update |
|
Since it's been a while since I've blogged, I feel the need to catch everyone up instead of just covering just the most recent things. I think I'll start back at Christmas time. Jeremy, Justin and I spent Christmas at our own house this year. We all went together to pick out the Christmas tree. Justin wanted to touch all the trees and kept lunging out of my arms for them. Jeremy and I hung the lights and the three of us put the ornaments up. Of course we only put Justin's special non-breakables at the bottom. We had a great Christmas together. Justin got some great stuff - you should see the giant stuffed puppy we got him; it's bigger than he is!
We went to the Biller's house for New Years. On New Years Eve we went to Joseph's Mom's house out in the sticks and had ourselves a party. We had a fun meat/cheese/finger food picnic, sat by the bonfire and listened to music from the truck. The guys had a blast putting large pallets together to make the bonfire and figuring out creative ways to light the fireworks. Such as lighting one and throwing it in the creek to see if it would still blow up - which it did :) Justin loved watching the fireworks, but couldn't hold out 'til midnight. It was so much fun to be hanging out with family.
That's about it for big events, but we had lots of other good times in between. So, now to the Justin update. He's becoming more inquisitive these days, though I didn't think that was possible. As you'll see from some of the recent pics, he loves to get into small places such as laundry baskets, drums, behind the trash can, under pillows, etc. He can also climb on the couch by himself now. He still doesn't give kisses often, but he gives hugs most of the time when you ask him to. He'll always kiss a stuffed animal or a fake bird though (future animal lover).
He doesn't say alot more English words, but he talks ALL the time in his own little language. He's gotten good at using sign language, though he still prefers to grunt or whine when he wants something. He now knows sign language for "more, food, drink, please, all done, down" and has been known to say words such as "book, please, hello, thank you, cool, ball, bowl (aka plate), spoon, doggy, Dean (his best friend), juice and a few others". He can point to his and my nose, ears, hair and mouth and he knows what socks and shoes are and where they go.
There are so many cute things he does now that this blog is becoming way to long. So for now I'll stop it here and promise to blog more soon. Last thing though, take a look at the recent pics and video - I put together a video of some of the things I've recorded Justin doing recently.
