Silly McCoy!

He was caught sneaking food to the dog. 

I just wanted to jot down a few things that McCoy is doing lately that I love. 

He is so snuggly right now.  He gives lots of loves every day. 

When he hears people upstairs or hears things outside he will stop, say “uh” and put his hand behind his ear.  He then likes to point to where the sound is coming from.

When I get him out of his crib in the morning he has to make sure he has his binkie and his blankie.  He then points to his lamp because I guess it has to be turned on.

When asked to dance he will stomp his feet some and then start spinning in circles.  Of course this then causes him to be dizzy and he and I laugh as he stumbles around. 

My favorite thing has to be when he thinks something is really funny he will cover his mouth with one or both hands and laugh.  It is so cute!

As he watches his favorite shows, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Handy Manny he will answer their questions.  I love it. 

He has to hide when he poops.  If I look at him while he is pooping he has to run to another room and hide.  I think this is funny. 

When something falls of something sad happens he says “oh” in a really sad voice.  I guess “uh” of uh oh isn’t important enough to include. 

He is even more obsessed with cars than he was before.  He is still obsessed with kicking the soccer ball to Bompa and throwing the football to anyone who will play with him. 

His animal sounds include, tiger, monkey, elephant, snake and cow.  Dog use to be included in the list but for some reason he no longer will tell us what a dog says. 

He pretends he is sleeping.  His Bompa showed him how to lay down and fake snore.  He loves climbing in an unmade bed, pulling the covers over himself and pretending to sleep. 

Months ago Jeff showed McCoy how to say more in sign language.  He didn’t really care about it.  I guess now he has decided that he wants to be able to communicate a little more with us so he has started to sign more. 

He will grab you by your pinkie finger and take you where he wants you to go.  Jeff thinks this is fun, I however think that after being taken places 100 times a day, it is frustrating. 

Those are the few that Jeff and I can think of right now.  I’m sorry to talk so much about what I love about my boy but I can’t help it.  I need to write it down so I don’t forget and really I just love him.

Better Late Than Never

I know it has been a long time since I last posted.  Really I don’t have an excuse as to why I haven’t taken the time to post.  I guess I just haven’t wanted to.  So I will do a little catching up and then just try to be better at keeping up on the blog.  So look below for what we have been up to in the last 4 months.

Halloween was more fun this year with a toddler.  Since McCoy has been walking for so long we thought it would be fun to take him trick-or-treating with his cousin Brody.  He lasted for a little while but thought that we were suppose to go inside everyone’s homes when they opened the door.  I guess that is what you get with a one-year-old.  He made a really cute spider though. 

                 

October brought on another first for McCoy.  His first haircut.  He had a lot more hair than I thought he did.  Because his hair is so blond I guess I didn’t realize how long it had gotten.  This was his first real haircut.  We had trimmed his wings a few times and the top of his head. 

Thanksgiving was at the McGuire home this year.  It was fun to have Kris and her family stay with us for a while.  McCoy enjoyed having his cousins around all weekend. 

Christmas was very exciting this year with a little one.  Santa had left some very exciting gifts for McCoy.  He woke up to find a rocking horse and a 4-wheeler, just his size.  He played for a long time on the horse and then spent a short time on the 4-wheeler.  Every gift from then on was very exciting to unwrap and had to be opened immediately to enjoy.  Once he got to the basketball hoop, he was done opening presents.  That toy held all of his attention for the rest of the morning. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Making silly faces with Daddy:) 

Watching shows with cousins

Relaxing in the morning with the dog, some snacks and a can of soup.  I’m not sure why that is there. 

I know that isn’t much of an update and some of the pictures are blurry but that is it.  It is a small excerpt of the happenings in our family for the last few months.  Now on to the fun things.
