Cannon has made new discoveries and and has a new obsession. Recently, he fell in love with the vacuum, who he fondly refers to as "Backy." Every morning he goes to the closet and asks for Backy. What he really wants is for me to hold him while I vacuum.
Cannon has become quite the storyteller. Most if his stories are still "baby talk," with a few recognizable words here and there. But he is always very enthusiastic about whatever he is telling us! He seems to know what everything is and if you ask him, "What's this," he will tell you. He knows everyone's names and is starting to sing simple songs. He also repeats everything you say and picks up on funny words, like "gross." Today I was talking to Ryan and I said to him, "Hey, Rees." Cannon was listening and started calling Ryan, Rees, and then laughing at himself! We were all laughing! If you ask Cannon if he's funny, he will automatically start laughing.
Cannon is getting better at using a spoon and fork. Even though he still prefers using his hands to eat, he can eat his cereal with a spoon and eat pasta with a fork. He has been able to use a spoon for awhile now, but he recently picked up on the fork. He can also drink from an open cup quite well. He likes walnuts. He loves to screw on lids. He can walk down the stairs holding on the rail. He can almost jump (he can jump in the inflatable things or in his bed, but only twice has he been able to get his feet off the ground). He is also in tune when people get hurt or are sad. He gets really upset when I am sad (I'll do a sad face if he hits me or accidentally hurts me) and he will wipe my face (to get the sad face away), give me a hug, and pet my head. He did this with JT when he accidentally hurt him.
Now that I've eased myself into toddlerhood with Cannon, I think I like it. His funny personality comes out more and more each day. He's cool kid and I love having him in our family.
This is typical expression we see multiple times a day!

I love that picture at the end! What a great smile! He sounds so cute. I love when they repeat things because it just shows how much they are listening. That is so funny about the vacuum! Ryan loves it too, but luckily I don't have to carry him while vacuuming. I don't think I could do it, even with this shelf I'm forming. :) I'm glad things are going easier. You are such a great mom! (P.S. I don't know if you noticed, but on a recent post I put a picture of Ryan in his car seat and threw in the new recommendations. Gotta get them in where ever I can.:)
oh man, "backy" that's an adorable story. I am jealous that you guys are settled n your routine. we are a mess right now with our new changes. :(
Kim, I've been working for three months now and I feel like we are just barely settling in. We finally have a set schedule (for the most part) and Cannon sees that now. Change is inevitable, so we are enjoying this peaceful living right now. You guys will get there too!
Shirley, I did see your post! I love it how you throw it in there, but that's how people get the message. I think my readers are a little tired of my car seat stuff right now, but I want to throw in another picture of Cannon. He is tall and doesn't have much leg room, but he is always content in his seat and I think people would like to see that.
