night night

i must say i have taught the little man

my mad skills for sleeping.

on average he sleeps 12 hrs a night.

the other day he slept 13.5!

new record.

and he's so beyond excited to see you in the morning.

yes i made him stand and hold on to his crib.

of course he can't do that on his own yet!

so ya,

i guess there's no real point to this post.

besides the fact that i'm bragging about how

awesome my kid sleeps.

this will now come and haunt me tonight.

talented or weird?

i'm convinced sweet p is part monkey.

he uses his feet has a third and fourth hand.

everyday. all day.

he crawls between toys, picks what he wants

and immediately rolls to his back

holds it up with both hands and feet.

since we he doesn't believe in milestones

he still can't transition between crawling

and sitting

so once he's down, he's down til i sit him back up.

and many times he plays with one toy in his hands

and one toy in his feet.

even the doc noticed at his 9 mon apt.

park was sitting on my lap holding those connecty letters things

as he dropped them

he stuck out his foot trying to catch them.

i didn't even notice and his ped said,

"did you see him just try and catch that with his foot?!"

ya...he's special like that.

can't pull himself up,

or walk,

but he has ape-like appendages!

poor bunny

D's father has a garden that he chooses

to protect from wild bunnies that like to eat the plants.

on the evening of father's day

braden and gavin were begging to go play outside

in the approximately 115 degree weather.

so papa agreed to take them out and check on the veggies.

braden comes flying in the house demanding we come quick

to go see what gavin was doing.

and there he was

holding a dead rabbit upside down like it was no big deal!!

steph and i had a joint heart attack.

gavin was too young to have any sort of fear holding him.

but after braden saw our reaction he

of course wanted in on some of the attention too :)

and thus we have the fight over a dead bunny.

so proud

can't wait till next summer

when his bigger brother-cousins can teach him

how to carry around dead animals.

sweet.
