16 months

I realized a couple days ago, that I hadn't taken any pictures of Dillon since he wore his Superman costume a month and a half ago. I had a few videos, but that was it. Thursday night (Dec 15) I finally took some pictures.

The diaper work-out

Dillon did this several times after I stocked up on diapers the other day. (In case you are curious, we usually use Pampers, but sometimes, when we are very lucky, the Walgreens brand diapers go on sale. They are by far our favorite, and are the ONLY diapers that work for us overnight.) He wasn't satisfied until every package had gone down the stairs. The video is taken after he had already thrown them all down, so he is already a bit tired. This is a big undertaking for a guy who isn't much bigger than those packages, who only barely has the coordination to throw small things, and hasn't yet figured out that he can intentionally kick something in order to make it move.

Fun with nebulizing

On November 12, Dillon and I let everyone go home, and we stayed to finish the Super Saturday clean up at church. Afterward, Dillon needed a nebulizer treatment. The nebulizer can take a while and it is hard to sit still. So, after the treatment, we decided to stay and play a bit before strapping ourselves into the car. In the first video, Dillon is playing one of his favorite games, fetch, with the nebulizer mask. You will see how he sometimes gets distracted and plays fetch with himself, instead of returning the fetched item to the thrower. And at the very end, Dillon tells us all what pigs and dogs say. In the second video, Dillon invents a game using a water bottle and empty Pulmicort and Albuterol vials. It is similar to a game he plays quite a bit at home involving a water bottle and old mascara tubes.



Quiz

Dillon enjoyed a pasta dinner on November 10. Despite being VERY cute, there is something wrong with these pictures. Can you tell me what it is?



Since we are on the topic of dinner, I include a video of Dillon with his Rice-a-roni on October 30. He is trying to learn to use a spoon. He tends to give up easily and use his hands. However, Rice-a-roni isn't much easier with hands. Watch as he struggles with this dilemma.
