Boy, time is flying! Peter is now 14.99 months old and all BOY! I guess it just took me a little while to realize that he doesn't enjoy watching mommy put make up on or scrub the sink -- he would much rather focus on "PETER". Sound familiar? So many moms tell me they know exactly what I'm talking about. Peter has been walking since 9 months and is now running, jumping, opening doors and pointing to everything. His favorite time of day is "airplane time". We have quite the flight pattern over our house and he will be in the middle of watching Baby Einstein or anything else -- and he will hear the plane and start running and pointing to the sky. He says "airplane" but it comes out sounding a lot more like "a-po-lee". Seriously, I think kids speak their very own language. If only I was the translator! He is so talkative but most things leave me scratching my head for a week and then I'll get it, "oh, you mean tree"!

Peter is truly a gift and I love every inch of that little boy, but he is a handful! My mom always laugh when I remind her of this and she just says it's about time you pay for your raising! Let's just say I'm paying and I may even be paying double!

Until next time, thanks for checking in!

Christine
