We have been so busy with a 9 month old, we haven't been blogging. I found out all sorts of people read the soggy phrog blog so I have been inspired to update. Today we went to a pumpkin patch in Carnation Washington. It was fun. We went for a hay ride out to the patch. We were a week or two late because the pumpkins were scarce and picked over. The goal was to get pictures of Davis with the pumpkins and we have a super cute one posted here. I am inclined to hit up the pumpkin patch display at the QFC grocery store for more pictures. Do you think people will look at me weird? Who cares. I really don't know anyone anymore in Seattle let alone Issaquah. I know, Mom, I will go meet people soon I promise!
Davis has grown up so much since we left for our month long stay in Utah early September. He crawls, pulls himself up on things and can even climb the stairs. Today he had 2 pacifiers on the floor in front of him and kept spitting one out and putting the other in. It was so funny! I love him! He loves goldfish crackers. They pretty much make up most of his solid food diet. He loves them and wants them all of the time. He sees the box, squeals and flaps his arms with excitement. I expressed my concern to Shane tonight regarding his goldfish diet and Shane replied "Nothing to worry about, people all over the world have strict seafood only diets."I guess he's right.
In all of Davis pictures you can see what a great faucet he is. This kid can slobber. I love nothing more than an unsolicited soggy kiss on my check. All of his shirts are soaked within minutes of being on. We stopped putting a bib on him because well, whatever, he slobbers.
Davis is a great talker. He talks to us all of the time. Of course we cannot understand him but its so amazing to hear him start making all sorts of sounds and speaking his own little language. He says Mama and Dada all the time. Shane is not so sure he knows what he is saying but I am very sure he knows. We taught him Dada. If you say Dada to him at least 3 times in a row he says it back to you. He also understand the word "NO" has significance, but for now he really just thinks its funny when we say it. He just smiles and giggles when you say it. The tone of your voice seems to only effect how hard he laughs back at you. We are working on it.
The B (our cat) does not know what to think about Davis. B spends a lot of the time avoiding Davis. Since Davis can crawl, there really isn't a great hiding place. Over the last week, B hasn't run away so much and is allowing Davis to pet him, grab his fur and pull at his whiskers. We are surprised because the B is usually not very tolerant. He must know he's a baby and doesn't know better.
Now I know I have a small fan base I will update more often. For now, enjoy the pictures of the one and only Davis James Keddington!
