An Epic Journey

I thought I would repost this for those of you who follow this blog and love to get updates about Peter. Jenni posted this on her blog:

So I obviously haven’t written anything in a while, so I thought I’d just jot down a bunch of random things I thought were cute that I remember…

Today, Peter was eating hotdogs, cheese, and apples for lunch. I gave him ketchup for his hotdog, but he decided to dip his apples in it instead. After trying his first ketchup-dipped apple, he says, “Mmm mmm!”

Yesterday he was chasing Kent around the living room and kitchen saying, “Roar! Roar! Roar!” It was so cute! I love how his personality is taking shape!

When the girls (dogs) are outside, he’ll wait by the door saying, “Hoo, Hoo, Hoo!” (That’s Hoove.)

He’s started sleeping with his “baby.” It’s a little bear that was Kent’s when he was little. He’s so cute with it. He’ll hug it when you give it to him. It really helped him sleep when we were away from home at Thanksgiving.

When you ask him a question, if he doesn’t know the answer, he’ll furrow his eyebrows, raise his hands, and say, “I don’t know.” (Well, a variation of “I don’t know.”) It’s too cute.

We bought him swords the other day. They’re made out of foam, so completely safe. He likes to sword fight with them. Our poor dogs, especially Cana, get the most beatings from them…

My parents have a cat. We visited them over Thanksgiving. Peter decided it was fun pulling the cat’s tail. Poor cat didn’t like him very much.

He is currently on his hands and knees on the floor. I believe he’s pooping. He’s making a “fart” noise with his lips and pushing…maybe too much information for most readers.

He likes to sing “Where is Pointer?”. He doesn’t say any of the words, but he definitely has the melody down and can do the finger actions. He also sings “London Bridge.”

He’s started being a little helper. He likes to throw things away. He also picks up pretty good.

He’s discovered he can make funny sounds with paper towel holders. He goes around with them up to his mouth singing…

He plays fetch with Hoove. Each time Hoove gets the ball he claps for her.

He’s great at the sign language we’ve been teaching him! He knows “more,” “all done,” “thank you,” “please,” and “I love you.” He’s such a smart little guy!

He takes after his mom with his love for chocolate…if you give him a bite, he starts saying, “more, please!” over and over!

I guess that’s all for now. Maybe I’ll get better at blogging and add posts more often…then again, maybe a monthly update will suffice.
