Apple...Eric called the pumpkins apples sometimes and pumpkins others.

It was hard to get Eric to sit still for pictures because he wanted to explore. Eric is very strong willed these days. He wants to do what he wants to do and go where he wants to go and does not like for anyone to tell him differently.

Eric showing the goats his pumpkin.

Eric was very interested in the goats and was watching other children feed them. He acted like he would like to feed them so daddy bought some goat food. As soon as we gave Eric a piece to feed the goat (which he called doggy) he ran off as fast as he could because he wanted to eat the cracker himself.

On the run....

Mom .... do you really have to keep taking pictures of me. I just want to look around. Stop making me hold still.

Daddy and Eric with the goat cracker still in hand.

Eric finally getting to enjoy his goat cracker in the wagon. (I asked what a goat cracker was made of before he ate it and it is just whole wheat. The owner said he had eaten them before.)

Eric really seems to enjoy riding in a wagon.

The car ride home with his pumpkin. He was very happy!!

Look at all his teeth. Eric has his fist Dentist Appointment on Monday.

Big Boy

Eric is getting to be such a big boy. He is now 16 months old and weighs 26lbs. His vocabulary increases every day. His new words include: shut, happy, honey, all gone, yellow, black, chocolate, apple, peach, strawberry, Cheerios, croca (for crocodile), gorilla, fox, monkey, giraffe, bunny, pop, phone, potty, chair, butt, train, choo choo, school bus, truck, Elmo, woof, meow, Stella (one of Grandma and Pa Pa Hornsby's cat), and Ella (who he still talks about almost every day). I am sure I will edit this post when I think of others. He is super smart and very cute. One of my favorite things that he does is to say he is happy randomly after we have done something he enjoys. We went to the playground on Sunday and when we got in the car to head home he said happy. He has also said it when he really likes something he eats. I call Eric hunny all the time and so he has decided it is a sweet thing to say to me. In the mornings when I get him dressed he will hug me and say hi honey. It is very cute.
We have also introduced the potty chair with Eric before bath time at night. He has peed in the potty 3 times and pooped once. We are very proud of him. He has not yet figured out how to ask about the potty chair before he needs to go potty.
This weekend we are going to convert his crib to a toddler bed so that it is easier for pregnant mommy to put him to bed.
Eric is wearing size 24 months and 2T shirts and size 18 months and 24 month pants (it really depends on the brand). The 2T pants are just way to long right now.
