Peter is getting older and with it he is becoming more independent, opinionated, funnier, and active. Peter does a decent job speaking for his age. He's got a lot to say and likes to be heard. Peter is getting into the "What's dat?", and "Whatcha doin?" and the "NO! Mama" mode. He is very curious and wants to be in the know (just like his sister).
Peter has mastered child proof door knobs and the latch to our sliding glass door. His sister has also recently taught him to climb and exit his crib (which has made this trip an adventure in sleeping arrangements). He's mostly moved on from climbing and scooting chairs to get stuff, but food is left near the edge of the counter he does whatever he can to get it.
Peter has his sweet moments of cuddling, hugs, and playing contently; however he has a crazy side of pulling his sisters hair, and throwing toys, and getting angry . The nursery has commented a few times how quiet and sweet Peter is in nursery and I think they must have Peter confused with a different kid. Then I realize Peter is a bit shy around people he doesn't know well, and plays very contently with himself and adults. It seems to be when his sister enters the picture and wants to control the play or share (take) toys when he becomes upset and doesn't play nice anymore. Peter's favorite toy is his Lego train. He loves putting it together and rearranging the pieces. Peter also loves cars. He pulls out the basket of cars and will drive them all around the room. He also likes to sit on his big dump truck and scoot around the living room. Peter also likes the kitchen stuff where he can "cook" for us. He makes us food (or Lego's) and brings it to us then he smacks his lips and chomps and he wants us to do the same to pretend we're eating with him. Peter enjoys play dough time. He squishes, attacks, and chops it up. He and Kendal can play with it for an hour. Peter likes going outside. He either wants to swing, ride bikes, or play in the dirt. Peter is fascinated when he finds "buggies". He watches them for a while, follows them, squeals in delight at them, then tries to squash them. He likes to kick balls to us, but he won't really play catch yet.
Peter is going through a stage where he likes to get naked. It usually happens when Kendal is playing dress up and he see's her changing, when he needs a diaper change, or sometimes just because he wants to be naughty (I mean free ; ). So we don't come in every morning to find him naked we've resorted to putting him in onsies at night.
Peter is our comedian. This kid does the funniest things and makes us smile every day.
Winter hat and mittens on an 80+ degree day. Why not!
When Kendal's in the mood to dance or play princess', Peter likes to join her by stripping down and putting on her tutu.
Peter getting comfy. He also does this on the arm rests of the couch.
Peter likes to roll our rug up. This time he got in it.
Just because he's cute!
Happy Birthday Peter! You keep us on our toes, you try our patience, you make us laugh, you melt our hearts, and we Love you so very much!
