Today started at 5:30 AM.... By the time JD went down for his first nap around 7:00 AM I had already fed him breakfast, mopped the kitchen floor and rearranged some kitchen cabinets.
But that's not the reason for the title of this post. JD actually had a very busy day too! We met Dave's parents at Wild Wing for lunch and had a good time on a rainy, yucky day. JD was a bit cranky..... okay, he had a full blown melt-down because he didn't like the noise from the bean bag toss game in the pub. I'm pretty sure tooth #6 is coming in because he's been a cranky, clingy, drooly mess the past two days. Anyway, that's not my reason for mentioning lunch at Wild Wing.
I drove us there and Dave sat in the back seat with JD..... at which point JD thought it would be a good time to start saying DADA! Hooray!!! He's been saying Mama.... mostly when he's fussing or wants more Cheerios.... and he doesn't know what either word means yet.... but it's so cool to hear! And he didn't say Dada just once. He said it several times during the 10 minute car ride. I know Dave was very excited.
So we went home and JD and Dave took naps and then we met everybody at Max & Erma's for dinner. JD was very good. He sat in the restaurant high chair and ate Cheerios like a big boy.... when we got home all he wanted to do was stand so I turned the laundry basked upside-down so he could stand and play:

Dave said: "Why don't we turn it right-side-up and put him in it to play?"..... so we did. I couldn't believe my eyes when JD grabbed on to the rim on the laundry basked and proceeded to stand up! Yes, I typed stand up... It's the first time he's pulled himself up from sitting to standing all by himself! He's been trying to do this on the couch but can only get to his knees. Once he figured out that he could stand up all by himself he spent the next several minutes standing, then sitting, then standing, then sitting... you get the idea. Here are a couple of pictures.
And finally.... here is a picture of him sitting in his high chair early this morning eating Cheerios. I took this because he was cute with a Cheerio stuck to his face. If you click on the picture to make it big you can actually see all five of his teeth: 2 on top and 3 on bottom!
So that's it... that was our busy day. It's supposed to snow tomorrow morning (third time this year.... WHAT?!?!?!) so I'm sure JD and I will have a PJ day and stay inside until it's time for dinner!
