Bad Mommy! I've not updated in forever!
Alton continues to amaze and confound us. He is finally talking more. Uh-oh! is his favorite new word, and he loves to ask for cheese, but he is still allergic to it.
He has also turned into the jumping climber that his father before him was. His favorite thing to do right now is fly (while nekkid) from the top of his dresser onto his queen sized bed. Good times.
About the queen sized bed; the toddler bed is no more. When the M***'s came to visit in March, we actually cleared out the guest room and Alton discovered there was a large and spacious bed in there. He took exactly one more nap in his toddler bed, and then he moved himself into the guest room. It is a larger room, and it of course had the larger bed.
His old bedroom now houses his train table. He is OBSESSED with all things transporative. Cars, trucks, trains, buses, they are all awesome as far as he is concerned. He makes car and train noises all by himself. I swear I can see Travis's chest swell with fatherly pride when Alton races his hotwheels and makes the car noises.
Another climbing story for you. Last weekend Trav and I were working on our his and her's laptops and Alton was playing with his hot wheels. Then he picked up his back yard lawn chair and walked into the front of the house with it. I thought nothing of it, and we continued to work. Travis got up and went into the kitchen. Where he found Alton ON TOP OF THE KITCHEN COUNTER, eating his Easter Candy. He had THE BIGGEST grin on his little face. I pulled him down and asked him, "Can you show mommy how you got up there?" His chair was way too short for him to reach the counter safely, I wanted to know how the heck he got up there!
He climbed onto chair's seat, and then proceeded to climb onto the top of the chair, and then pulled himself up onto the kitchen counter. I nearly had a heart attack.
So his lawn chair has been on time out and he will occasionally ask for it. I gave it back and so far hasn't been using it for anything nefarious. But he will use it to watch mommy cook dinner, or turn the light on in his playroom.
There will be pictures soon. My laptop nearly died and is in the shop. When I get it back or get a new computer, I will update with new photos.
