Ok, more than a week ago.  But I’m almost caught up now =)

5/9

Donovan is growing into such a funny, sweet boy!  Here are some of his current phrases that are so adorable!

Whee-Ha!

Whee-Ha!

Swords.. and instant hit.

Take a bow!

Whee-Ha!
One of their favorite games right now is making huge constructions using every pillow and blanket in the house.  They spend a lot of time working together on this!  I love that part... not so much when I am putting it all back. =)

Arrrr!  Pirates =)

This is a rocket Donovan built out of legos.  He builds a lot of airplanes and rockets, although usually they are just rectangles, he spends a lot of time perfecting the and flying them around the house!  He has a great lego attention span =)  He really loves playing with the big boy legos at his cousin's.

Robot Zot.  We inherited this book about Robot Zot, so we built a Robot out of legos.  Donovan LOVED it!  And one of the lines from the book is "Robot Zot, never fall, Robot Zot, conquer all!"  He repeated this over and over, and hilariously, nearly always dropped Robot Zot when he got to "never fall!"

“Whee-ha”  I’m not sure exactly how he came up with it, but he says it very enthusiastically when things are fun, like riding on Daddy or zooming around on his Pillow Racer.  He also seems to really love cowboys these days, and often says Whee-ha instead of Yee-ha or Wahoo!  So cute.  He has a cowboy hat now and waves it around wildly in the air.
He’s starting to show off a dramatic tendency.  In some exciting shows, he’ll say “I can’t look” while holding his hands just under his eyes.  He does this for peekaboo too, putting his hands over his nose instead of actually covering his eyes. 
“I too happy to see you!!!” with wide open arms.  He is so snuggly and loving with his greetings.  His c’s and s’s sometimes sound more like t’s, so cowboys sounds like towboys, and so sounds like too.
Kisses and hugs for everyone mandatory when leaving.  He’s perfectly calm about people needing to go places, unless they don’t follow the proper goodbye protocol.  He’ll say “Hugs!” and give Daddy big hugs, and then he will declare “Sister hugs!  Mama hugs!”  And Daddy can’t leave until everyone hugs him.  Sometimes high fives or kisses are also required, he lets us know. 
Loves buses, bulldozer, cars, trains.

He’s really a pretty chill guy overall.  I’m so lucky!  I especially love the play that is developing between Serenity and Donovan.  They are adorable!  He’ll invite her to play legos and she will, and then she’ll come up with an airplane game and she’ll encourage him to race all over the house with her.  They sometimes go upstairs and I lurk downstairs listening on the monitor.  It’s so cute!  Not perfectly tranquil of course, occasionally there are boundaries crossed, but I don’t have to rush in to rescue them anymore, they usually work it out.  LOVE IT!!!

He says “I know!” or “idea!” and holds up one little finger.  Like today I told him he couldn’t have cookies, and he said, “I know!  Pretzels!” 

He has the cutest biggest belly laugh these days, and finds so many things funny.  He keeps us all giggling.  Oh, and he has the cutest bow ever.  I even got a picture of it! =)
