okay, so ozzy is 14.5 months old, so this post is a bit past due.
what's he up to now? he seems to have developed some separation anxiety. cries when i walk away, and comes running after me. he wakes up often at night looking for me. if he sees me, he puts his head back down and goes back to sleep. if he doesnt, he sits up and cries and cries until i come and put him back to sleep. hopefully he'll start to grow out of this phase soon.
he gets VERY vocal when he wants something and doesnt get it fast enough. DIS!!! he screams (this!). recently, he's begun trying to repeat back the words i use. dis? he'll say, pointing at grapes. grapes? i'll ask. and he nods so hard he loses his balance and he says, dapes. dis? he says, pointing at his sippy cup. water? i ask. and he reaches for it and says, dawter. dis? he says while struggling to pull a toy out of the toy box. help? i ask. owp! he says. he doesnt have a whole lotta sounds mastered yet, so they all kinda sound alike. if i tell him to, he does say, 'cool' pretty well, though!
started calling out for rob, after hearing me yelling for him several times a day. Rob! i'd yell from the kitchen and ozzy would be sitting nearby and would suddenly chime in, "Ob!"
running is a new thing. he's been a pretty speedy walker for a while, but the running is new. boy can haul ass and well he knows it. he revels in tearing across the floor, his little legs pumping away, laughing as he goes.
ozzy loves slides. no fear. me, that's a different story. i think my heart stops every time he teeters at the top of a slide that way too big for him and i can't get to him fast enough, just in case he falls.
still banging up his poor head. he's got two scars that havent gone away and it's been weeks now. he smacks his head on something several times a day.
still on formula. i am planning to wean him off of it completely in the next couple of weeks. he wont be happy with it, i know. he loves his ba-ba. he asks me for it several times a day. ba-ba? ba-ba? ba-ba? he's getting pretty good about eating with a spoon or fork, but still eats most of his food with his hands. still not eating as much table foods as i'd like to see, but that could be because he's taking in so much formula still and i've allowed him to graze thru the day. both of which i need to cut out in the next couple of weeks.
he signs 'cheese' by rubbing his hands together. signals something is hot by blowing on it.
he understands so much now a days. i can tell him a simple direction and he follows them. where's the remote? close the door! sit down and take your shoes off. put it back. get in the car. lay down. do you need a new diaper?
he really gets into playing with the play kitchen cooking (mostly stirring pretend liquids in a cup with a spoon and periodically sipping from the cup and emitting a loud Ahhhh!) and putting babydolls to bed (he lays the baby down gently, pats it on the chest, gives it a few kisses on its face and then slowly walks away, like he doesnt want to wake the baby up) and feeding the baby. it cracks me up, especially since my girl, mimi, never did those things!
continues to enjoy books, especially those with pictures of farm animals and pets. he sometimes points to the words and mumbles, like he thinks he's reading.
loves to feed kaya treats and of course she's happy to accept them. we keep a close eye on him when he's around kaya. we're not worried kaya will hurt him but rather that he will hurt her. because of the state of her limbs, she cant just get up and walk away when he bothers her. so i tr to protect kaya from ozzy's rough manners as much as i can when they are together.
seems to have grown out of the phase of putting things into his mouth. i havent seen him put anything in his mouth in a while. he will still try to drink his bathwater tho. ugh!
