Folkman Family: June 2011

Let's see...what has happened recently? The little man continues to grow up too fast. He has taken a step but then plops down cause he's afraid to go any further. Some of his favorite things: getting into any drawer and pulling everything out of it, the dog's bowls, being outside and if you open the door (garage, back, or front door), be prepared for some tears when you have to shut it cause he will not like that. He is becoming a climber...wondering when he'll figure out how to climb out of his crib. No, we are definitely not there yet but I won't be surprised if he does it in the next 6 months. What else, oh yeah, he pooped in the bathtub the other day, he's never done that before. Gross and you're probably wishing now that I didn't share that. He has the biggest smile in the world with 2 front teeth that you can't miss-love it! He is a silly little guy that laughs and smiles so easily. He is also a biter-only to me thank you very much. I have reverted to flicking his cheek, which I have had to flick quite hard (don't worry, the red mark never lasts long) cause he smiles and will bite harder if I flick lightly. I think this child just doesn't care about getting hurt. He thinks, "Bring it on, I'll bite harder." I noticed the harder I flick, the harder he bites. Perhaps we need to have a little heart to heart...He's our little bubba boy and we love our spider eater, bath pooper, people biter so much.

We had my parents come in March and Todd's parents come in April. We loved having them and although we love it here, we wished we lived a little closer to them. We also have had some crazy weather here with storms/rain but have tried to enjoy some of the sunshine that has come our way. Our neighborhood pool opened this past weekend and we were able to go and enjoy an hour there. Although the water was a little cold, everyone seemed to have a good time (no crying baby-he loves the water, no matter the temp.) Here are some pictures from the past few weeks...
