Here's Blowing at you!!!

Scott & I have been a little under the weather, which means lots of sniffling and snuffling and general nose blowing around the house. And our little 'sponge' doesn't want to be left behind in the action...this being said he has taken up with his own blowing.


(Sorry about the lighting, we have to figure out what's going on with that???)

He hasn't caught our colds, as yet...knock on wood, but he has witnessed lots of snotty tissues in use and has taught himself 'how to blow' all on his own. At first we thought it was just a little inward snuffle that he had accomplished but upon further investigation he has in fact mastered the outward blow. It's actually quite cute... for the first day or so. Now every time Momma has a tissue he wants to blow too. And he can't go past a box with out pulling out one or two to practice on. Or he will get all sneaky and be hiding in the corner with a rogue tissue scavenged from the garbage blowing away...ewww!



And then the shredding starts. He starts with one corner and starts pulling his soggy tissue into long strips. He reminds me of a gerbil when he starts the shredding only way cuter of course! I guess it's another 'first' of sorts and I'm sure it's some type of developmental milestone(??), but I think I'm good now with the cleaning up in tiny piles of nesting material. Eventhough I am sure it is only the start of much bigger and not so much better things, we'll see!!!

His nose blowing is very cute. What a little mimic :)

Awesome, that's a tough skill to master for little ones. Rosie still has trouble but Ryan is a pro. Goodness, Jackson is getting so big. Crazy how time flies.
