Huston - May 2012

Poolside

Huston you have had such a busy month, that I am writing your blog almost two weeks late!  We had a 11 day trip to Oklahoma, which we found out was way too long for you to be away from home.

You are into superheros in a major way (you add guy to the end of all of them, "Green Lantern guy") and it so funny to watch you play with them.  You were even potty training Spiderman the other day.  You also have found a love of dinosaurs and roar and watch "Dinosaur Train" over and over.  I think your Dad is also very excited that you have found a love for baseball.  After going to a few game this season, you will ask him, "Daddy go baseball game?"  Of course when you get there you just want to run around and not actually watch baseball, but he'll take what he can get.

Giants Opening Weekend

You are cracking us up with your new sentences and expressions too.

Right here (you add this to the end of anything you are showing us, "Here's my milk, right here")
Mommy look at me (you'll put your hands on both sides of my face and turn me to you)
Honey/Punk/Lady (the terms of endearment you've been calling me)
All better (after you've done something)
Jolly pop (you mean to say Judo Chop)
Ahhhhhkay (complete with sigh after we tell you to do something)
Stinky poo poo (you are obsessed with saying this and I hope you grow out of it soon!)
My name is Suston (anytime you meet someone)
I'm a pirate ship! (after you cover one of your eyes like a patch)

Your other new things is to pull my bangs out of my pony tail or bun and put them over my eyes and say, "Princess".  Not sure why messy bangs equal princess, but you love to do it.

My absolute favorite story this month is "Goodnight Sweetheart".  I used to sing this to you when you were going to sleep, but haven't in a while.  I never really thought you noticed it, but the other day we were laying in bed and you said "Mommy, sing Goodnight Sweetheart, dun, dun, dun, dun".  My heart melted.

You love bathtime and each night you think very hard about what toy you want to take a bath with.  Right now a shark and horse are always in there, but you alternate out who visits them.

You had your first friend/cousin stay the night too.  We had a lot of fun, we ordered pizza, went swimming, watch cartoons and had a glow stick bath.  You love your second cousin Parker and get so excited when he comes over.

Donuts the next morning

Checking out the hot tub

Debating jumping in the cold water

Your birthday may be a bit of a production this year, you finally understand it.  On the commute home the other day you listed off everything you wanted for your birthday - superhero guys, toy story, lightning mcqueen, mater, spiderman, green lantern guy, mickey mouse.  I asked what kind of cake and got just as long of an answer.  You said, "I want more alot".  I better start looking for some good deals.....

You are our special boy and we just love you so much.  You make us proud every day of how sweet, smart and well mannered you are.
