Happy February to all! I know it's been a while since an official post has been seen by our viewers. So here we go....it's going to be a long one and hopefully we can be better about updating our blog life.
McCoy has been developing so quickly lately. I just can't believe some of the things we discover about him every day. He's starting to copy us more and more. His favorite thing to say is..."caarr" and we pretty sure he knows what it is. We're proud of him and we've decided that's his official first word.
McCoy is a true blue boy. He loves more than anything to throw balls and whack sticks around all day. He's got a pretty good arm, thanks to dad teaching how "real boys" throw balls. We've been working with him to show that he can only throw balls or objects when there's no one in the way...kind of hard to teach a 14 month old, but we're hoping he'll learn eventually.
McCoy loves the treats that dad shares with him. This time he was lucky enough to get a sip of his milk shake...ok, it ended up being more like a gulp but McCoy still LOVED it!
The next treat dad gave him was a yummy "slow-melt" Popsicle. This, McCoy loves as well.
McCoy has been a lot more active lately. I know, you're thinking, "what? This kid can be more active than he already is?" and the answer is, YES!! He plays by himself and does a good job of staying out of trouble, most of the time. We love that he's totally becoming the little boy we've always wanted.
Here's a movie of McCoy dancing with me to the song, "Once there was a snow man." It's so cute when McCoy moves his little hips and whips his head back and forth to a beat. (Link Below)
Snowman Song
(PS. My voice is so amazing, I think I should try out for American Idol. What do you think?)
A few weeks ago, I took McCoy to the pet store and HE LOVED IT! It was so much fun to see him react to each kind of animal there. He loved the bunnies that he could touch too! He was so cute and fascinated with each new discovery.
A few days ago, we got a random snow storm. We ended up with about 8 in. of snow. McCoy doesn't get out much now that it's cold outside, so we bundled up and headed out. HE LOVED IT!!!!! We were out there for hours and he loved to wear his gloves, surprisingly. Every time one of his gloves would fall off, he would come running over carrying it and holding it up for me to put it back on. He even straightened his hand and aimed for the opening of the glove to help. SO CUTE!! I took a few videos, check them out.

| This lizard thing jumped out at us. It scared the pants off me but McCoy just laughed and loved him |
Although McCoy is a very active little toddler, he still loves to sit down and enjoy a good book. We caught him on tape flipping through what most people would considering a very boring "book." McCoy seemed to like the "Portuguese/English Dictionary." Watch as he talks to tell us what's he's learned. It sounds just like Portuguese, lots of "g's." (Link Below)
As well as reading, McCoy has picked up an interest for watching "Baby Einstein." It's the only thing McCoy will sit and watch. I feel like because of this amazing DVD, McCoy has learned to sit some-what still. Last week, McCoy sat through an entire sacrament meeting ,in the chapel and not the foyer, without having to take a break to the drinking fountain or cultural hall to run around. Check out his skills of sitting still. (link below)

| Look at this cheeser! This is what McCoy does when he "smiles for the camera" |
In this last video, McCoy is so convinced that walking in the snow is the only way to go on his way. He walks pretty well on this little strip of snow left from the tracks of the tires in the parking lot. It brought a smile to my face.
McCoy has been doing this thing lately with his bottom lip. He puffs it out like he's pouting and it is usually followed by putting his head down as if he's being shy. I don't know where he picked up on it but we've been trying to get it on film to show you just how cute it is. Trev finally got it so I have to share. (Link below)
Puppy Lip
One last video. Sundays are the only day of the week that we get to spend the whole day together as a family. This morning we woke up, ate a yummy eggs, bacon and pancake breakfast and then spent the rest of the morning before McCoy's first nap, playing together and having fun. We found these little socks from when he was younger. He used to play with the little characters on them but we put them on his feet to see what he would do. He couldn't get enough of them. He walked around almost in a march making sure they made as much noise as possible. We couldn't help but to laugh and enjoy watching him be the cutest little boy. (Link Below)

(You'll have to forgive McCoy's sleepy hair and my awesome morning look.)
he is such a little trooper in the snow. i wish we could have played together. steele loved it too. we went down our slide with snow on it and because it was wet he went so fast that he flew off the end into the pile of snow at the bottom. he was laughing, he loved it so much!
ReplyDeleteand steele has been doing that same puppy lip. it's not when they're sad it's when they are trying to be funny or something. it's cute.
