47 Weeks

I think in the next few weeks Santino will be walking on this own. Lately he's standing without holding onto anything for balance. Rob has seen him take 2 or 3 steps on his own several times now and Santino walks when we hold onto both of his hands. Maximus tries to get him to walk as well.

 

Santino knows the sign for milk and he'll usually sign it when I ask him.

 

He likes a version of egg salad, but we make it with hard boiled eggs and avocados seasoned with dill, cumin, garlic powder & pepper. Actually, this is my new favorite sandwich. So good! Rob recently introduced it to me.

 

When S was much younger he didn't care for peas, but the last few days he has been eating brown rice and peas.

 

Tonight he had lemons. He made a funny face when he swallowed them, but he ate more. After that he had a very small sampling of some chocolate gelato. He really dug that.

 

Last week we started swim lessons. I've only been in the water once with him, but he had fun. He also went on the swing by himself for the first time and Maximus got a kick out of pushing him.

 

Santino likes to open and close the dishwasher door. So now we try and remember to keep it locked. The stuff he does and gets into reminds me so much of Maximus when he was little.

 

He's also a climber. We have a couple of boxes of diapers that he and Maximus like to climb all over.

 

I've got a short video of the two boys together. Maximus is trying to get Santino to walk. You'll be able to see the boxes in our living room that they like to play with too. haha...

 

 

If you didn't see it, please check out this post from yesterday and help me wish my mom's cousin, Elaine, Happy Birthday. She just turned 90 years old!

 

Happy day!
