Rexford Update

Well I have some pictures from the last month that I like but they don't really fit into anything to write about. I thought I might eventually have my blog made into a book since I'm not doing so well on keeping up with my scrapbooking. So I thought I'd add the pictures and write a little about what Rexford's been up to this month. I was really good at writing down his milestones his first year but not this year.

Rexford is talking a ton! He now speaks in 3-4 word sentences and is getting quite a large vocabulary. Some of his favorite things to say this month are:
Otay (okay)
I love you Daddy
Watch Daddy weedwacker
Turn on tv, watch Word World
Go Papa's house
See more diggers
Hear fire truck
Go in the kitchen
Mommy hold you
___ right there or right here
Lizard where are you
watch choo choo train, computer
lay down on pillow
go outside
come on
get up
eat Kix in hand
Hello Hi
Goodbye, _______(whoever he is talking to)
Mommy turn, Daddy turn, your turn
Thank you
Put it away
I'm all done
chocolate milk
have some
chicken nuggets, french fries, happy meal, old mcdonalds
cup of water
baby bird hold it
no cats out there
kitty cat meow
see garbage truck
pink bus, blue bus, green bus, purple bus, school bus (he identifies these when driving)
ready set go
on mark, get set, go
1, 2, 3
go higher more
water park, wave pool

He also has been making car/truck/bus/machine noises when he sees them and today he was trying to imitate the edger noise. He knows the name of all Daddy's lawn tools and was very impatient last night, screaming "edger" over and over. He loves to watch him work in the yard. He also loves tools and can name all of his play tools - hammer, pliers, wrench, screwdriver. He loves to play with my dad's bicycle pump. He is getting so tall and big. I don't know how tall he is but he is wearing a size 9 shoe and even has one pair of size 10 shoes. I think he's about 37 pounds now.

I can't believe he'll be two in a couple of months and I can't believe how much he can talk and how much he knows. He knows the names of some of his church friends-Lauren, Gavin, Caleb, and Carson. He says words all the time that I had no idea he knew and he remembers everything! For a week after Sea World, he said, "watch Papa Aly rollercoaster, Shamu ride" which means he saw Papa and Aly ride the rollercoaster and the Shamu ride. Whenever he sees a cat he always tells me that his friend Bennett has a cat and he hasn't been to his house since before Easter.

Rexford reminds us to say prayers everyday and wants to say them all the time. He tells me to say prayer before we pull out of the driveway and when we eat and when he goes to sleep. It's very cute. He folds his arms and says, "say prayer." Then he says amen at the end. He's so grown up!

Here are some pictures from this month.

Rexford wearing my boots watching tv. He loves to try on our shoes. Brian's shoes are too big and heavy so he prefers to walk around in mine.


Eating a fudge pop for the first time and loving it.

Rexford playing his computer game that Grandma and Grandpa Ursic got him for Christmas. He loves it and asks for "game" all the time.
