Allister Update.

I thought it was about time I did an update on my little man! He is so adorable right now, and I have been so busy this summer that I don't have much time to blog. Matt is also working a lot of hours lately, so we've been tired and busy!

So Allister is now 17 months old.

He has been getting a lot of teeth lately, and he is really not dealing with it well. And therefore neither am I :(

He is cutting molars, finally! 3 have broke through and 1 is on its way, together with the missing side tooth from his bottom set. I may even see the beginnings of his pointy teeth too. So all in all he has been a grumpy baby! He has also had a slight cold, some kind of virus (we think) that keeps gicing him hives. Although we are watching to make sure its not a food allergy.

So most nights he wakes up screaming, and I don't mean just screaming, I mean SCREAMING!!!!! Like the world is coming to an end screaming, he wakes up the whole house. And maybe next door too. Im surprised the police have not been called.

This happens at least once a night, maybe 3 or 4 times. I try not to pick him up because I don't want that habit, and he settles pretty quick once I appear. I lay on the floor beside the crib and he settles down back to sleep. I try to sneak out and hear a little whisper "Mumeeeee" caught red handed! So I lay some more, until I then fall asleep on the floor!

Its no fun, and Im hoping once this last molar breaks through he will stop suffering, and we can all get some sleep.

On a brighter note, he is talking up a storm!

His latest list of words added to the first list are.....

Eyes, Up, Arm, Soap -bup
Wash, Sign potty, More

Yes, Tea, Juice, Cup,
Hat, Teeth, Fish, Hi
Trash, Bah Bye, Birdi, Buzz, Woody,

Cup - dup, Pool, Drum, Phone
Uh oh, Peepee, Cat, Duck, Jump,
Arm, Tummy, Nose, Eyes, Umi zoomi,

I know Ive missed lots here, he's got to the stage now where I lose track he is saying so much. I love it! He has also started saying a few two word sentences, like "Hot Tea!" just like Harrison.

He can point to several body parts, Arm, Toes, Nose, Eyes, Head, Hands, Tummy.

He loves the word NO! and says it so cutely, in his little squeaky voice :)

We love our little man!
