Leyton and Gigi playtime

Leyton loved Daphne. Daphne not so sure about Leyton.

Besides talking up a storm, lately this little boy has gotten so silly. I think if he were to get any more adorable he would explode. He is just so dang fun. I love this stage. Sure, it has its drawbacks (raging toddler who can do everything himself syndrome) but around here the silly outweighs the whiny.

PS. Please don't judge the appearance of my house. Leyton is a tornado, destructing all that lies in his path.

This is one mean dancing machine: watchyoself ladies

He pretty much has animal noises down pat- especially after our trip home. My favorite is the donkey, which he doesn't really do here as precisely as he usually does. It normally comes out "hee-ho, hee-ho"

Last night while I was cooking dinner, this little turkey snuck up behind me and blew a big zerbert on the back of my leg. After seeing how amusing it was both to myself and to him, he just couldn't get enough. Then before his bed time last night, he was going to give me a kiss on the lips and I got a facefull of zerbert. It was lovely. He is already a trickster.

MeeMaw & PeePaw

A funny thing happened while visiting my family. Leyton decided to change everyone's name. My dad had decided way back when that he would be "granddaddy." Leyton however, kept saying "Poppa." I don't really know where he picked it up, but he would point at my dad and declare that he was "poppa." So that is settled. He also changed my grandparents name's. My grandmother has always been "Ging-Ging" to me, my brother and cousins. We kept trying to get L to say it, but kept saying "MeeMaw." Now he has never heard "MeeMaw" but nonetheless she was MeeMaw our whole trip home and he still points at her pictures and says "MeeMaw." He also changed my grandfather's name from "Poppa" to "PeePaw." I mean, what good is a MeeMaw without a PeePaw?

Onto MeeMaw's hair. He is a great stylist.

Attempting a photo. Fail.

Babies, Babies Everywhere

We had the pleasure of visiting with some beautiful babies on our trip home. Leyton had fun playing with them and luckily he didn't try to roughhouse with them too bad (well, except for Baylee). Anyway, here are some snapshots I took:

We're Back!

What a great trip home! Leyton was exposed to all of the fun that the deep south has to offer. His vocabulary has really expanded in the past two weeks. He saw plenty a wide variety of animals including cows, donkeys, horses, deer, fish, rabbits, turkeys, birds,and plenty of puppies. His most popular new word is cow. He is obsessed with them and think that they just live right outside the door. He is also saying short sentences and putting multiple words together. My favorite new phrase is "Wuv ew, momma", but that is a whole different post. Here are a couple of the first pictures I took. If my computer doesn't explode from my photo upload, I will be posting many more soon. But right now I must go as Leyton is demanding I draw him a cow on his magna-doodle.
