1. Dax still will NOT say Mama. He does this on purpose. We'll ask him to say it and he'll get this little mischievous smile and says Dada! instead. I know he knows how to say it. He's a stinker!
2. Dax loves loves loves his brother. Anything Dez does, he does. Anything Dez eats, he eats. Every time he wakes up he immediately says "Des? Des?" and points across the room to Dez's bed. He really thinks the world of his brother.
3. After Easter was over, Dax got into the habit of shaking ANY egg that he found hoping that there was candy inside. We had a few close encounters.
4. The Nugget has been scowling. He scowls all day. He'll look at you and scowl. He'll scowl when he's happy. I hope this is a phase and not a foreshadowing.
5. Dax's favorite person (doggy) right now is Mushu. Mushu's least favorite person right now is Dax. Put those together and you have Nugget's favorite game: chasing and laughing at MushDog and pulling on her tail and trying to give sugars and sitting on top of her back. And when Mush gives a warning growl or whimper this only fuels Dax to pester even more. He thinks it's sooooooo funny!
6. Dax is finally starting to say words. He knows how to communicate and he understands everything we say to him but just does. not. talk. back. Good grief, he is stubborn.
7. No more pacifiers! It only took about 2 days and then he completely forgot about them. Success!!
8. Dax is an excellent sleeper. It takes next to nothing to put him to sleep. He even sleeps through the pouring rain and thunderstorms. (Dez does not....)
9. It's so crazy how opposite Dax is from Dez. He completely throws me through a loop trying to figure him out sometimes! You know, when you have the second kid usually you think, "Well, I've done this once before. I totally know what I'm doing now!" No. This is not true for the Nugget. (This is both good and bad.)
10. Dax is so independent. When Dez is at school I try to devote all that free time to just Nugget. Except that he's playing by himself. In his room. All alone.
11. He's also learning how to navigate through my iPhone.
12. Say Cheese!!
(This was back before the scowling days.)
13. If we don't hurry and put a diaper on him after he gets out of the shower, he'll run off and go pee on the floor.
14. Did I mention Dax is a stinker?
15. Speaking of that sort of thing, Dax has pooped in the toilet about 4 times! Now, he won't tell you when he needs to go. I usually have to catch him before he goes in his diaper. But, at least he knows what he should be doing while he's on the potty! I'm fairly certain he'll be super easy to potty-train.
Ah, I love this crazy boy!
