Nigh-Night Kisses

As Allen was going to sleep tonight, he sat up and gave me a paci kiss then held out each fist, one at a time for me to kiss, then each foot. Then he laid back down and went to sleep. It was so sweet and cute that I had to really hold back my giggles. I kinda hope he adds it to our nigh-night routine :)

Memorial Day 2011

We enjoyed a quick overnight trip to Cameron, Tx to spend time with friends and family. Allen especially loved playing outside with Adam and Aaron.

Cute Things From Today

1. Allen says "wow" over and over again as he swings.
2. He stands on a chair and helps with washing the dishes. (He grabs the brush, puts soap on it, washes, and rinses.)
3. He opened the door for me to put away the vacuum.
4. When I was laying him down for nap, he pointed to the changing table, so I obliged, even though I had very recently changed him. We went through a little up and down and then he points to the changing table again. I told him he had already tried that and to lay down. He pauses for a minute then looks up at me and coughs. When he didn't get a response, he did it again and looked up with very expectant eyes. So, I played along, "do you need a drink of water?" He, of course, shook his head yes. So I left to get the drink of water and waited just long enough that he layed down and went to sleep. Really? He's 20 months old and already knows the "I need a drink of water" trick!? I must say that, at this point, I find this absolutely adorable :)
5. For fun in the living room, or in his crib, Allen spins in circles and laughs, usually staggering to the floor.
6. While giggling he holds his hands to his mouth. :)
