New Discoveries

Yesterday BV and Bud were playing with an empty veggie puffs container (tall cylindrical shape). BV started putting some toys in the container and took them out. Bud was very interested in this and started putting toys in and taking them out. BV said Bud kept trying different shapes and sizes of things to see what would fit. He even figured out that the giraffe could only go in one way. This went on for 1/2 an hour. Once Bud learns something new he wants to master it right away; he's so determined. He also learned yesterday that he can put Cheerios down the vent :( And he figured out how to open the laundry/furnace room door (a bi-fold door on a track) :( Now we need to find a lock for the door. It was a major day of learning and discovery for him! At bedtime I started picking Bud's toys up and asked him to put his stuffed animals back in their crate - and he actually did it! Of course he had to take some out and practice putting them in a few times and ultimately I had to put them in the crate, but it's a step in the right direction.

He's definitely getting taller and heavier and should be 20.5 pounds by now, so it's time to turn the car seat around, yippee! Hopefully this will make long car rides more enjoyable for all of us :)
