Murphy @ 21 months

Always on the move!



LOVES his trains- especially the battery powered "THOMAS"



LOVES that "PABA" (pacifier)



Fascinated by his reflection- a little "Narcissus" in the making

Murphy is full of himself these days! He seems to be following closely in Whitaker's foot steps when it comes to trouble making. His favorites are pouring cereal all over the sofa for the dogs, dumping out the dogs water bowl, emptying the contents of the trash can on the kitchen floor and eating any scraps that look tasty, head butting everyone in sight, throwing balls and anything else he feels like inside the house knocking over lamps, pictures and anything else in the way, pouring out open drinks left on the table, dumping the 800,000 piece LEGO box out, emptying the ball bucket outside so he can watch all of the balls (we have a lot of balls) roll down the hill, pulling the dogs tails and generally being BAD! He has also started his "SPEECH ENCOURAGEMENT" sessions and is starting to mumble a few more coherent words. The kid can't/won't say mom but he can say HAMBURGER- go figure! He still enjoys playing outside- swinging, digging, riding his bike, jumping on the trampoline and running as fast as he can down the hill until he falls. He also loves his trucks and trains and is starting to enjoy reading a few books- he has a few favs that I can now recite in my sleep! His favorite food this month is definitely YOGURT! He must eat 3-4 a day and thankfully it is not upsetting his once sensitive belly. Speaking of bellies- he LOVES to show his off and check out yours so if you are ever around be prepared for Murphy to lift up your shirt so he can check out your 6 pack! He continues to give me a run for my money and at the end of the day I am worn out but he is a little blessing that makes us complete.
