In anticipation of the travel we are doing in a couple weeks, I have loaded some videos on my itouch so I can keep Vinnie entertained on the flight. I was testing them out at gymnastics last night. Once Vinnie discovered that Elmo was on, it was all over for me. He wouldn't give me back my itouch. He wanted to continue watching Elmo.

I gave up and let him and even let him have the itouch when he was in his carseat in the car. It was just Vinnie and I in the car and I was driving down the road when all of a sudden I heard the theme song to Little Einsteins. Somehow Vinnie had navigated away from Elmo and started up a Little Einsteins video all on his own?!?!?!

He is a technical genius!!!

Dee: Not that I want to start any trouble, but the Apple app store has tons of free toddler games that he may like. MJ loves them and plays them all the time in the car. Of course, if you think you can't get the darn thing back now...

Vinnie is continuing to add to his vocabulary. I can't keep up. He was trying to say "all gone" or "all done" tonight. He was very upset that the fruit snacks were all gone.

He has started doing the funniest thing. If you ask him how strong he is, he pumps his arms and then shakes uncontrollably. It is so, so funny!

Vinnie's school had a photographer come and take individual pictures. I did not purchase any of the packages (as they are rather pricey in my opinion), but I thought I would share the info in case anyone wanted to order anything. There is only one pose and it is in black & white, but it is cute.
To see it:
Go to this website http://lilangelsphoto.com/
Click on Online Store
Enter in this code: 94DCCC and your other information

Then you should see Vinnie's picture.

Vinnie is doing better than he was last week. He is at least eating and drinking better now. Not stellar, but better and I'll take that. He has started a runny nose and a tiny bit of a cough, but hopefully that doesn't turn into more.

Vinnie is jabbering up a storm lately. Sometimes we know what he is saying ... like his favorite new word is "ELMO". And it is clear as a bell.

But other times he just jabbers on and on and we have no clue what he is saying.

He's darn cute though.

I don't know if I can remember them all, but his words so far are: Elmo, dog, ball (of course), bye-bye, night-night, hi, mama, dada, Gabba, uh-oh, hot ... seems like there are more. I'll come back and add them if I think of them.

He'll try to repeat anything you say. I was trying to find a parking space tonight and I turned down an aisle and realized that there were none and I'd have to turn around and I said, "Hmmmm". All of a sudden from the back seat I hear, "Hmmmm". He's doing that kind of stuff all the time. If you want a real giggle, ask him to say yellow. It is really cute.

As for sounds, he roars like a lion, trumpets like an elephant and moos like a cow. He is wearing cute little pjs tonight that have elephants, lions, tigers and crocodiles on them. I'm surprised that he ever went to sleep with all the noises he was making.

I did end up taking him into the doctor's office this afternoon as he hasn't been sleeping well on and off for the past couple of weeks. And then he has been fussier than normal and then the past few days he hasn't been eating well. We noticed some drainage from his right ear on Saturday which is an indication of an ear infection in a kid with tubes, so we started the antibiotic drops. But the doctor said that they don't seem to be helping fast enough and he thinks that is the main problem for Vinnie and he gave him an oral antibiotic to start on tonight. Hopefully that will help him out. I still think he might be teething too, but a lot of that is based on the fact that he is 16 months old and he only has 4 teeth. The others have to be coming in eventually, right?

One more cute Vinnie story - Brian had let Lucy out the other night and Vinnie came to the back door with him. Vinnie stepped outside and Brian couldn't figure out what he was doing as he was slapping his thighs. But then he figured out that is what we do as we call for Lucy to "come" so Vinnie was just being a little mimic. It was cute!
