Fall is in the air and it is exciting! We have been out and about to do many fall activities. You think pumpkins are absolutely delightful. We are taking you to get a costume this weekend. It should be fun!
Each night Dad likes to review some of his favorite words with you. He has you imitate him and then we all giggle. Some of these favorite words are, "zingahs, burgers (boogahs), awesome, slam dunk (see kunk), touchdown, binky (binka, binka, binka) and scoobies". Some of these words have significance for different reasons but they all make us giggle.
Each time we go to the gym you say "money" as soon as we pull up to park. You want to make sure that I have two quarters to put into the machine to get some "tips" (chips). You sprint into the building and run over to the machine to watch the chips drop. This always makes you grin from ear to ear.
Your very first sentence popped out yesterday. Out of nowhere you said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!" I'm pretty sure that Grandma has been practicing that with you. The work paid off. We were totally delighted. Daddy's birthday is coming up in a few weeks and he already got the coolest gift from you!
You just do things all the time to make us giggle. The other day Mariah Carey was on TV and you stopped dead in your tracks and pointed to the TV and said, "MAMA!" You got some extra sugar from Mom that night! I don't get mistaken for pop stars often!
You were very, very sick a week ago. Daddy and I heard you in the middle of the night. You were throwing up in bed. That was such a pitiful sight. We brought you out to the couch/ottoman with us and we camped out for most of the night. We spent the next few days watching you closely. Thank goodness you were thirsty. You kept fluids in you this time but we knew you were feeling terrible because you didn't eat much at all. That is certainly not like you! Daddy and I felt very helpless while you were sick but we all shared the sickness and got some pretty good bonding/snuggle time.
Happy big 1-9! We are looking forward to the holiday season right around the corner. We are going to show you so many fun things! We love you with all our hearts!
