He's so smart, I just love it.

     Yesterday Chris came over and we played this game called Smash Up.  Chris won both times and Matt was mad that he lost.  So we played again when Chris left and he won.  Only because I let him though.



     Adrian is quite the handful these days.  Have I said that before?  I can't wait until he gets out of the habit of putting everything in his mouth.  He has also learned a new trick: tearing pages out of books.  So now all he has access to are his board books.  He used to just look at them or take them all off the shelf and walk away; so I wasn't worried about ruining them.





     Chris and Allie gave him this cow that moos and walks while a song plays.  It terrifies and fascinates him at the same time.  He cowers and smiles while it plays, and brings it to me when he wants to hear it.  I started singing Old Macdonald for the first time the other day and I did the cow first.  Adrian got up and grabbed the cow.  He knows what a cow is!  I was so impressed.  In other news, Mom heard him say "kick" while he was kicking a balloon the other day.  He says "done" after meals even though it doesn't prevent him from throwing his food over and trying to get out.  He places phones to his ear and pretends to talk on them.  He knows what the remote does and points it at the tv.  Another thing is, he is starting to figure out how things fit together.  He wants to put the plug into my computer and put the caps on drinks.  I got him a puzzle today and he was trying to do it.  He's so smart, I just love it.
You can't see it too well but this is him pointing the remote.
     I've gotten all of my Christmas shopping done for Adrian and I'm pretty proud of myself because I got some great deals.  Not black friday worthy, but I am not a black friday shopper.  Black friday is like taking all of my social fears and combining them in the recesses of hell.  While I am pleased that I got it done, I really want to give his presents to him now.  It will be hard to wait a month.  Now I need to do a craft project but I can't tell you what it is because it's a surprise for some people.  Also it might not turn out.  Wish me luck!
