Mobile

Well, a little over a week ago when I picked Peyton up from daycare the girl stood him about 6 feet away and he slowly toddled to me on very stiff and wobbly legs. Now his preferred method of getting around is walking. He still is a bit "stiff," Bill (his paternal grandfather) jokingly called him Frankenstein, but he gets where he wants to go.

He's also discovered the pet door. At first he would tentatively push it and then turn and look to see if anyone was watching. Last week he made it half-way out the door. Guess he wanted to go outside. Of course, he is never out of his playpen without someone in the room with him - for one because, obviously you never leave a toddler alone when he's mobile and two, he's FAST!

He loves cell phones! Don't know who he tried to call on his Mom's cell phone last week, but he was punching in numbers. And he has started giving kisses without being asked. Of course, it's the open mouth kisses - but who cares - a kiss is a kiss! But if you put your forehead up against his, he'll pucker up for a kiss. And we are discovering he has a temper. Who would have thought? Yeah right - he didn't have a chance. But so far, the only time I've slapped his hands was when he was trying to play with the electrical outlet. I just ignore the temper tantrums.
