BC&LM · May 2014

1) Foods: Anything that he can get a good grip on and that's not slimy--bread, pancakes, cheerios, pizza muffins, quesadillas, etc. Also, he really likes a lot of fruits fed to him on a fork (but he refuses to pick them up himself!)

2) Toys: V-Tech walker, Fisher Price remote, shapes from his shape sorter (not to sort but to bang together), baby band set. I mean really he loves any toy, but he probably plays with these the most.

3) Activities: Walking around the living room, people watching when we go out

4) Songs: He loves any songs with hand motions, like the Itsy Bitsy Spider. He's not too into recorded music; he prefers live singing.

5) People other than parents: My parents, a couple of the middle-aged women at daycare that fawn over him

6) Places: anywhere he can watch people; he seems to really like the botanical gardens 20 minutes from our house a lot too

7) Favorite things to do that mommy or daddy wishes LO wouldn't do: steal phones, try to grab cords, steal/try to steal water bottles, pull socks off when it's cold outside

8) Other favorites: pacifier

Favorite places-the park mostly now
Favorite things..-pulling all the movies off of our shelf or throwing her toys or our phones.

1) Foods: Goldfish, Cheerios, Sweet Potatoes, Applesauce - the kid loves food.

2) Toys: His stacking cups (to bang together), His farm animals puzzle pieces (again, to bang together), the remote, this VTech dancing zoo thing that is super annoying and loud.

3) Activities: Standing at the door or window, or any other surface that he can get a little of a reflection of himself, crawling around, petting the cat

4) Songs: He liked Baby Beluga for awhile. Now he likes a lullaby that my H made up for him.

5) People other than parents: My mom, his babysitter and his babysitter's kids.

6) Places: The park, the aquarium.

7) Favorite things to do that mommy or daddy wishes LO wouldn't do: Play with/eat the dog food. Play with the dog's water dish.

musicalsilver · May 2014

1) Foods: Beyond being a general carb fiend (crackers especially), he loooooves melons and pineapple.

2) Toys: His walker wagon, definitely. He also likes playing with the canned goods in our pantry.

3) Activities: Walking around with his walker wagon, taking all of his books off the shelf, using me as a climbing post, and most things to do with outside. Baths are a favorite too - especially if I let the water keep running, that might be the most fascinating thing ever.

4) Songs: Baby Beluga. But that might be because it's the only kids song that I really know all the words to and therefore sing a lot ;-)

5) People other than parents: The head DCP at his Montessori.

6) Places: Wherever we are for the most part. He loves outside, and looking out windows.

7) Favorite things to do that mommy or daddy wishes LO wouldn't do: Pull all the things off our pantry shelves. And @LimaBeanMOM reminded me ... stealing my glasses. He gets this gleam in his eye when he's about to go after them these days, so I can usually head that one off.

8) Other favorites: He's very excited about our pets, and is actually getting pretty good about not grabbing the cats - his pets just can get a bit overenthusiastic at times. He loves being "chased" and is a pretty big fan of being thrown in the air.

Oh my goodness this. I forgot about this one. We don't even let him in the same room as the animal dishes anymore - they get picked up off the floor before LO's allowed in.

For extra fun on warm days, I've been letting him go to town with the dog's water dish outside. He gets super excited about that.
