monkey business

So, these next two pictures were taken on different days but ironically they are both diaper pics. I swear I dress my baby. He is such a climber. I am surprised that he hasn't climbed out of his crib yet.

The latest on Dennis

I can tell that he is getting taller because he can reach things that he couldn't before. Today he unlatched the bathroom closet where the plunger is... I will have to be more careful about him going into the bathroom. I can totally see him trying to plunge the toilet. He seems to want to imitate everything that we do lately. One day I was washing my hands in the kiddy pool after pulling weeds and Dennis copied everything I did.... swish in the water and then pick the dirt out from under my nails! He did it too. When I was drying off after my shower he grabbed a towel and rubbed on his legs and then in his hair. He can put the silverware away into the drawer. He can now spit and will spit adamantly when he has something in his mouth not wanted. The other night at dinner he had broccoli in his mouth and out of nowhere decided that he didn't like it anymore. He started spitting and wouldn't stop until every little green piece was out of his mouth. Ryan and I had to turn so that he didn't see us cracking up. Today when Ryan got home we cracked each other's backs... and since I am a pansy I made some unpleasant noises and Dennis came screaming around the corner making sure that I was okay and then gave me a BIG hug. LOVE THOSE MOMENTS.

The latest on Ryan

Ryan has been doing a warm-up rotation before he starts his first rotation as an official 3rd year student. He has been really loving it. He stays busy all day following patients and learning the ins and outs of rotations. Today he was able to watch a bronchoscopy... where they stick a scope down someone's trachea into the lungs. He thought it was pretty cool. The other night he said that he was so glad to be working with people. (me too). I love it when he is happy.
