Silly Solomon

It's been a while since I posted, so I thought I would post a fun little video of Solomon being happy and running around the house. He's so silly lately. He knows how to point out his nose and he's working on his ears. He'll just grab them, but I don't think he fully gets it yet. He's jabbering about something all the time and says "Mama" in a very dramatic Sopranosesque kind of tone. He falls alot now too b/c he doesn't know his own limits with the walking/running thing. I've heard boys are crazy about that. Basically, he has a bruise on his head almost every other day. :( He and Coco are still pals. He's still eating well too. We also figured out that he's not lactose intolerant. He just had some issues getting adjusted to the regular milk vs. formula, but seems to be over it now. His favorite toys include his little car that his daycare bought him for his birthday, his monkey, Wheels, the refrigerator magnet set by Leap Frog and random stuff like one of those pitchers with the mixer stopper thing in it.. LOVES that.

We had a great and relaxing weekend.. Friday night, we did some shopping. SAturday, we did some stuff around the house and went out with Brett and Abby at night (left Solomon with my parents). Sunday, we watched some football while Alex worked on the magazine, went over the Brett and Abby's house and played with Solomon. Hope everyone else had a good weekend.

Solomon update and other things


Solomon has officially entered the phase where it'll be hard for me to remember the exact number of months old he is. 13 is the present number. Anyway, I've posted some random new pictures of him at the link below:



His hair is always curly and crazy now and people often mistake him for a girl b/c of it I think even when he has on very boyish colors. I think people are unobservant and I think Solomon is just a very pretty boy. He really is though. :) People will come up to me all over the place and tell me how adorable he is. I'm sure most parents experience that, but I think he is the cutest. People also tell me that his pouty face is irresistable. In fact, a couple of his daycare people have told me that "everyone likes Solomon. He's just so cute." Okay, okay, enough of the endless bragging.


He's started to put things in drawers like his sippy cup. I currently can't find one from this morning, but since it's full of milk, I"m sure the smell will soon lead me right to it. Delightful! He also loves it if he says "oh oh oh" and I repeat it. It makes him squeal with delight sometimes. He's settled nicely into his 1 yr. old classroom. I don't like it as well as I did the first year, but we'll give it some time.


As far as the rest of my life goes, Alex and I hosted an engagement party last weekend for Brett and Abby. It was fun. We had a really good time and I think everyone else did too. My parents kept Solomon and the dog. It was such a nice thing to sleep in.


Alex is on a camping trip right now for another friend of his who is getting married. It's his bachelor party of sorts. He gets back tomorrow and I think I'll do my best to dump Solomon on him for a while! :)


I also had this saga with Craig's List and getting rid of our shed that's too long to go into, but it's pretty funny. The good news.. We no longer have a shed and a really nice man took it off our hands. We're glad to have the eyesore gone.


Some girls are coming over tonight. It should be fun. Tomorrow, I'll watch the KU vs. OU game! Go KU!!
