Double the Fun!

It is hard to swallow the fact that Johnny is now over twice as big as he was when he was born. Lately his new things have been sticking out his tongue like a froggie and wiggling it around, holding his bottle when no one else is looking, and saying "mom" to his uncle Johnny instead of his mother.

Steve and I have been having a blast with Johnny, and since every day brings something new to the table we never know what is going to happen next. He had me literally rolling on the floor laughing with the faces he was making yesterday. Meal time is always good for some entertainment too. Johnny seems to have taken on the challenge of eating as much as possible as quickly as he can, regardless of whether or not I am shoveling it in fast enough for his liking. He just takes the spoon from me and tries to do it himself.

Today we spent a while playing on a toy piano. The one we are borrowing lights up and flashes, which of course has been the highlight of Johnny's play time. He caught on to the concept right away, and I have the strong suspicion that we will be having him start music lessons of some sort by the time he is 3. I'll have to look into the ages that various teachers will let him start, but at very least we will be able to have Steve teaching him the hand drum and me teaching him piano. If his uncle is around, he will be a master musician in no time!

Tonight is going to be a movie night for just the three of us. Big Johnny is going camping, my dad is going to Grange Fair, Christy Michelle is still in Williamsport for the week, and so it will be the Delafields on their own for the first time in a while. I'm excited. Snuggle time on the couch!
