Axel is going through a time of noises and having a lot of fun with it. He laughs a lot--that wonderful baby laugh. I am so glad to hear it again from a child of mine. I didn't realize how much I had missed it from when Luka was a baby. He laughs at funny noises and things we are surprised to see that he find funny, like me counting or something.
He also is "spitting" a lot. He purses his lips and spits/blows bubbles. It is actually very cute. It is not really spitting (as that sounds gross), but not sure what else to call it. He does that a lot. It makes an audible sound: bthhhhhhhhhhhhh, bthhhhhhhhhhh, bthhhhhhhhh!!!!
He is also making little happy "screams" or chirps and "talking" away. This is very cute too. If we are all talking, he likes to do that to participate in the conversation.
Luka is going to his first birthday party tomorrow for one of his friends from school, Josh. I made Josh a card and we got him a Spiderman/Dr. Octopus MegaBlock toy present. Ooooo! Luka will probably be jealous... ;)
We all went to the National Western Stock Show on Thursday with a friend of Luka's from school (and swimming), Connor, and his mommy, Kristin. We had a good time, but it was tiring for all of us. The kids liked the rodeo pretty well, but we didn't stay for all of it as it got kind of long for them. We did the petting zoo (stupid goats who attack you and scare Luka when you try to give them food - ick - I really do not like petting zoos that much, actually--the kind of gross me out). Saw lots of cows, steers and horses. And, of course cowboys. They do not have an elevator in the Coliseum where the hold the rodeos, but with all those cowboy-types around, it was not hard to find someone to help me carry the double stroller up and down the stairs!
