PHFFFT


by Jean,

The sound of whoopee cushions, deflating balloons, planes going the speed of sound - what do all these things have in common? Adam's butt. He is a REALLY gassy guy lately. It could have something to do with the bean soup and other things he likes to eat, but OMG! He actually has started to get a little pickier, but we still have some favorites. Plain yogurt will hit the spot when just about nothing will do, and bananas are never a bad idea. And today he discovered Kiwis, and I only got 1/4 of the one we shared!
At 13 months he is running around the house, trying to communicate with us (lots of pointing and grunting), and physically tackling the poor dog every chance he gets.
Like his mother he is fascinated with bright shiny objects - the lamps and the ceiling fan are still big favorites that he has to point out on a regular basis. He has started to assist with flipping switches off and on (with a little lifting from Mom so he can reach), and he likes to check the knobs to see if he can take one off a drawer or cupboard.
Adam is also a big help in the bathroom - making sure everything is picked up and put into the garbage (hair brushes, toothbrushes, deodorant, socks, and anything he can get his hands on). He will also flush the toilet for us (multiple times) to make sure we have the cleanest freshest water available at all times. The water bill is going to be higher for a few years.
