Deegan Update

Deegan is learning and changing so much everyday! I need to keep up on the monthly updates so I don't forget stuff. So here are as many things as I can come up with to say about Deegan over the last couple of months.

* Today I told him he needed to get some food in his belly so he proceeded to stick grapes down his shirt. :)
* He is saying more phrases and pronouncing them better. (What you doing?, Where are you?, We gonna go bye bye?, What'd you do?, I had a goodnight)
* Favorite shows are Elmo in Grouchland, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, and Bubble Guppies and Price is Right.
*Points to the bassinet and says "Baby go night night".
*His counting to 10 has gotten much clearer.
*Likes to sit on the potty but hasn't done anything yet. We haven't really started potty training but if he asks to go potty, I will put him on it until he says all done.
*Loves to put things in the microwave and cook them and will get a pan out if he wants it cooked on the stove (hot dogs).
*It is hit or miss on his eating. Some days he does great and others, not so much. He loves hot dogs, chicken nuggets and fruit snacks. Not exactly a well balanced diet. He really loves Gerber meals and that is our go to item if he hasn't eaten much.
*It is so much easier to communicate with him. You can ask him where something is and he can usually find it for you. (Like when he walks off with the remotes or leaves a sippy cup laying somewhere.)
* Says thank you (tat tou) at least 100 times a day. He is so polite! He also says sorry alot even when there is nothing he did. (Like if he falls down)
* He loves his daddy to put him to bed and some mornings he will only let dad get him out of bed.
*He calls his daddy "Eric" a lot of the time. Its pretty cute.
*He likes the Party Rock Anthem or whatever its called by LMFAO.
*He is a little love bug and loves to be held and to sit on your lap to read stories.
*He loves to take our Iphones and knows how to unlock them and has even sent a couple of texts and made a couple of phone calls. And swapped tiles in my Words with Friends games. :)
*He has amazing hearing! Sometimes I think he is so zoned in on something but as soon as he hears the Words with friends sound he immediately comes over and thinks its his turn.
*Calls his grandma Sanders, Suzy
*Plays really well by himself but will still call you into his room, point to the floor and say "seat". Of course we can't turn him down.
* Still loves putting lids on things and is very good and spinning the lid to tighten it. He gets mad if he sees you putting a lid on and you don't let him do it.
*Still isn't a fan of nursery.
* Knows red, yellow, blue, green and orange pretty well.
*He is very talkative!! He talks and jabbers all day long. Esp in the car. He is constantly pointing things out as we drive (buses, balloons, trucks, flags, motorcycles, Mcdonald's....)
*Calls Eric's truck "Red".
*Sleeps with Scout, a little stuffed elmo, his build a bear dog, and two fleece blankets (each grandma made him one)
*He is such a happy kid and everyone tells us how full of personality he is. And it's true! He is very entertaining and very good company to have around. I can't believe he is going to be a big brother. He will always be my baby. He is such a sweetheart and I am so glad that I have been able to have this time at home just me and him before the baby comes. He will be such a good big brother and I can't wait to see them become best friends. I love my little goober so so so much!!!
