All About Me




Things Amari is doing at this stage:

He loves getting in somersault position, he loves bending over and looking through his legs. 

He is a wanderer; he doesn't really get into things or play with his toys, he just runs around the house in circles all day.

He is still so difficult between 4:30-6:30 (whines a lot).

He is such a foodie; he could eat all day long 

He nods his head when he wants something and grunts

He loves meeting new people; he is not shy at all, he will run right up to people and try to get in their buisness. 

He loves putting his hands in the toilet (such a pain in my butt)

He has started enjoying books more 

He thinks it is so funny when he annoys brother like taking his blankets or toys from him. He is so funny about bothering his older brother.  He will try taking his blankies when he's not looking (Beck's will get so bothered), play in his room, jump on his bed, etc. 

He loves wheels and balls 

He is now basically running places  

He loves going down the slide 

He is still not into TV shows at all

He loves my phone and Becks video player I get at the library (he loves technology)

He loves playing with my keys 

He loves playing with Beck's friends

He loves girls; the ladies at the gym call him the biggest flirt

When I take him to RS he will immediately jump out of my arms and snuggle up to some elderly lady

He is not into TV or toys really, he just wanders around the house, goes in his room a lot and sits by himself and looks at his books, and he LOVES playing with his projector in his room

He has started saying his animal sounds really well (cow, snake, monkey, etc)

He loves water; he will do anything to play in water (splash in a puddle outside, try to get in the toilet, run to the bath when it is turned on, etc.)

He is so busy in church; just the other Sunday we were sitting in the very back and during the sacrament he ran, making his way all the way up to the sacrament table. 

He has gotten a little better at taking direction, for example when we go for walks if I tell him to come a certain way he will listen a bit better, but he still likes to go and do as he chooses :)

He is so good at mimicking.  He dances when I dance, he claps when I clap, and the best is when we laugh really hard, he laughs really hard.

Easter



It was a beautiful Easter holiday.  Saturday I hosted a BBQ for all our friends; the kids had an Easter egg hunt, and we all enjoyed a bbq.  Easter Sunday Mike was home from his work trip and we went to church, the kids hunted for their Easter baskets (the Easter Bunny hide Becks in the shower, and Amari's in the dishwasher).  Amari loved playing with the actual Easter eggs—that was his extent of getting into the holiday :).  Beck's loved everything about Easter—dying eggs, finding his basket, eating his candy and playing with his toys, going on a hike with his daddy, etc.  

BBQ/Easter Egg Hunt


Becks found a ton of Easter Eggs; he loved his superhero basket

Amari had fun following the kids around and coming upon one or two eggs
