We are having some strugs lately. McKay is sick, which makes our nights shorter and longer at the same time. :) He hadn't been sick for a while, so I guess it was his turn to get it. Lots of kids in the neighborhood have had strep, so I am just grateful it is a normal cold and cough (knock on wood). Another struggle, for me, is that McKay will be 16 months old this next week and he won't walk. He can walk with us holding onto one hand, but he doesn't like to and he won't let go. I realize that he will, in time, but going out in public is really getting to be kind of a drag. Either the stroller comes every time, or I hold him, or he crawls around in places that are just dirty. I know I should be grateful that he can't get into more stuff at this point, but I am ready to have him WALK!!!! I am supposed to go on an airplane trip in a couple months, and it would be nice if he walked by then. :-)
So when I get discouraged about our "strugs," I just look back at the fun we've been having lately:
He is really into pens and pencils right now. He likes to draw (or stick them up his nose). Whichever one makes him happiest.
Here's his teeth for grandma. She can't see them too well on the webcam.
Just chillin'. His bib says, "if you think I'm cute, you should see my dad." It's true, his dad is very handsome.
McKay is super into hats right now (and has been for many months). Whenever we are in public, he points to any man/boys' hat and says the word. It's the funniest when we are waiting in line to pay somewhere. The guys think that he likes THEM, but in reality, he just likes their hat.
He likes to "hide" in between the wall and his dresser. It's a perfect little spot for him and he thinks he's so funny when he comes out and scares me.
One last thing, the other day, he started knocking on all of our doors and windows (inside the house). It is so cute to see how he associates things. He will go around to all the windows in the house and knock on them. It makes me smile.
We got "Jimmered" last Saturday at the BYU vs. Utah game. Unfortunately, Jimmer didn't put up as great of a showing as we were hoping (only 22ish points). The game was a lot of fun and we are so glad we took McKay who was able to show off his clapping and cheering skills.
