see no evil

today, panzer started closing his eyes tight and putting his hand in front of his face when i catch him doing something he knows he's not supposed to do.  if he can't see me, it must be okay.

king of the mountain

today, panzer made it to the top!  he loves stairs.

 

big thanks to miss maurine for teaching P to go down stairs backwards in just one day ... undoing all the bad habits of auntie kimmy.

cone 2

and today, panzer had his second ice cream cone -- he's sold.

(not sure where the other shoe is... but when ice cream is involved, who cares?)

cone

today, panzer had his first ice cream cone.  (these are the kind of messes that make you glad you live in cottonwood, arizona.)



mother road

today, panzer was cruising route 66 and stopped for his first piece of pie from the pine country restaurant in williams, arizona.  key lime -- yum!

stern talking to

today, panzer started shaking his finger at me when i tell him no.  unfortunately, he shakes his finger and laaaaaaughs instead of reflecting the grave seriousness of the situation i am sure is reflected in my face and tone....

thankfully, he can't say "no."  yet.

little arab

today, panzer had his first stuffed grape leaves.  he loved them, even the leaf part -- thanks siti!

and here he is signing for "more" cheese.  so he does take after his mom (and auntie heidi) too...

one million toys

and today, panzer chose the strainer and penguin spatula.

the sign

today, panzer learned his first sign.  he can now tell me "more."  already associated with blueberries, kiwis, donuts and milk.... 

i am pretty excited and hopefully he will pick up more as we learn sign language together!

the boss

today, panzer saw daddy coming and ran straight back to mommy and jumped into her arms.  he knows who is the boss and who will rock him for 10 more minutes to see if he'll fall asleep without having to scream.
