house plants and cat food....yay!

These were taken this morning after his nap. He can pull himself up onto his knees holding onto the bars and he can almost pull himself into standing. (The only reason he hasn't is because I don't let him practice in there.) He's getting so big.

I tried to tell him no when I went in, but how can you say no to this face staring at you when you walk in? I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the most stern when saying "no".



In this video, Finley is deciding whether or not to touch the plant...again...for the fourth time. All morning he had been told no and had his hand popped. I was debating just removing the plant, but decided that if I removed everything that he shouldn't touch, there wouldn't be a whole lot left in the house. He just needs to learn the meaning of the word "no".


Is this boy teething or what? We were cleaning up from supper and Matthew saw him gnawing on his car seat....just sitting there chewing and sucking. It was hilarious. We would call his name, he would stop, and then go back to sucking and chewing.



This morning, I turned just in time to see Finny sticking his hand in the cat food dish. (This, I think we will remove). I walked over, pulled him away and gave his hand a pop and said "no". The only problem was when I popped his hand, his little fist opened and cat food dropped out. I couldn't help but laugh....see, not the most effective at being stern.
