  I have been remiss in updating here lately.
  
  Vinnie's latest trick is that he figured out how to climb up onto the kitchen chairs - where he sat proudly for about 30 seconds before climbing on top of the kitchen table. He is something else! He had been climbing on top of the parking garage toy that he has and getting stuck on top of it, so it was only a matter of time that he moved onto the next thing.
  
  Another funny Vinnie story was from last Friday. I was cleaning up the kitchen and I knew Vinnie had his sippy cup as I was trying to pay close attention as I had filled up the sippy cup with the last of the milk, so as soon as he put it down I was going to put it back into the fridge so I had fresh milk until I could get to the store later. Well, I blink and I lost sight of the sippy cup. I looked high and low and I could not find it anywhere. I finally gave up and just gave him juice and water for his snack later and for dinner and then ran to the store after dinner and picked up some more milk. I knew the sippy cup would turn up eventually ... and it did. Later that night I was emptying the dishwasher that I had just run and there was Vinnie's sippy cup - full of milk - on the top rack of the dishwasher. He had seen me cleaning up the kitchen and had decided to help. He put that sippy cup and another one full of water in there and they were both run through a full cycle. Mystery solved!!

  Vinnie is starting to enjoy watching Elmo. We have the Elmo Faces video and he watches it. He is becoming a fan of Sesame Street characters.

  I haven't been updating this lately.
  
  Vinnie is still adorable. :-) He is more and more expressive every day. Some of it is in the words he can say, some is in his expressions and some is just in his vocal inflections. He is starting to put it all together. He just lights up when you figure out what he is trying to communicate though. It isn't much fun when the frustration sets in, but when you hit on it - it is pure joy!
  
  We have ditched the bathtub and Vinnie officially takes showers now. When he was really small he loved his baths, but the past 6 months or so that hasn't been the case. They have been quick in and out events as he is fussy and trying to get out the entire time. Since we accidentally discovered his love of showers, we have ran with it. He has a ball each and every time we put him in the shower. And, quite honestly, I have just as much fun as he does as he is having so much fun. He has a little bucket in the shower and he just loves to have it filled up and dumped on his head over and over again. Go figure!
  
  With the weather as pleasant as it has been, we have been spending a lot of time at the area parks. I am discovering that Vinnie doesn't have a lot of fear (or maybe it is sense) when it comes to these playscapes. He'll go anywhere and do anything. It is really nice to have Emily as she'll go down the bigger slides with him. He just grins the whole way down. Most of it is from the slide, but I also know that he just loves spending time with Emily too.
