I can't believe that Axel is already 22 months old! Where has the time gone? I know it sounds cheesy but Axel sure is a blessing! He sure does know what he likes and what he does not like-and he will let you know about it. One of his favorite thing right now is to chuck things-like his dinner plate or a toy when he's done with it. I'm not sure where he learned that one but I think I could mop my floors daily. His newest word his "shadow". He just pointed to the wall the other day and said "shadow". Then pointed to mine and said "mom's shadow". I was like wow....yes that is my shadow! Where do they learn this stuff? Axel is really into all kinds boy stuff like trucks, tractors and trains. He had a doctor's appointment last week-he weighs 22 pounds and 6 ounces! He is officially on the charts at a big 4%!! Whoo woo! My big boy! We did make the big decision of turning his car seat forward. Gulp..I know...but he is forward facing and loving it!
Hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend. Axel and I hit the Cannonfalls downtown stroll and got a ton of candy! We went to Grandma Ann's and saw mom's friend Jackie on Halloween then headed home because it was kinda cold and dad wasn't feeling that well. (We are hoping it wasn't the influenza bug-we are hoping to keep that one out of our house!) Axel loved being able to carry around his light saber all night! All for now...

Things Axel is in to...
I'm sure I could like of more but here are a few of Axel's likes and dislikes.
-He like to kiss and make it better-(when he has an owie-mom always can cure any thing with a kiss!)
-He will not eat any vegetables lately. He does ok with most other foods but any thing green touches his plate and No way..it makes it's way to the floor quickly! He's getting better at meats but still is mostly chicken nuggets and hot dogs.
-He has started to like trains-he even says "choo choo" when the Thomas show comes on.
-He loves to harass our dogs by running after them and grabbing their ears and tails.
-He is such a copy cat-any thing mom and dad does he just has to try.
-He loves to throw stuff in the garbage and say "bye-bye" to it.
-He has become very interested in the toilet, but not for potty reasons-just to put things in there and say "bye-bye" to it. (the other day I found at least 20 hair binders in the toilet!)
-He loves being outside and some days it is really hard to get him to go back inside the house. I dread winter for this reason-mom is not a cold outside weather girl!
-He is very curious about bugs-of all types. He likes to try and touch them and if he can hold them in his hand and bring them to his mom! Yuck...boys will be boys!
-He has started to talk with two word phrase-like "Hi Momma and Bye Daddy"
-I know this one is bad but he still takes the darn bottle-or as he calls it "bobble" only at night and with naps-when he's at home, but he will not give it up. I know it's a power game because he doesn't do it at daycare-he drinks from a regular cup there! But once he gets home he knows how to play the parent's! We are working on this one...I guess we are comfort people..if it makes him happy. I'm hoping he will break himself from this one quick?!
-He loves tattoo's and loves when I draw one on his arm. He will look at guys arms to see if they have one.
-He really likes books. We read each night before bedtime. His favorite right now is Goodnight Moon. no matter what book we read we have to end it with that book.
-He still really likes shoes-on and off all day!

updates
So I forgot to tell you on my last posting where Axel was when we went on our camping adventure. I think I had so much fun adult time and I wanted to tell the whole story I forgot! Axel stayed at Grandma Ann's. He does so well with her. He had a fun filled weekend-he even got visits from cousin Ethan and Grandpa Bob. Thanks grandma for always helping us out and being just wonderful!
Axel has discovered a new fun word-"Tattoo"! He noticed his daddy's tattoo on his arm and then tried to find one on his own arm. Brian drew one on his arm last weekend and Axel loved it. He kept showing every one and saying "tattoo"! I'll have to get him some stick on's so he can have his own ink. Silly little boy!

Hike-in camping
Brian, his uncle Peter and I went on a hike-in camping adventure last weekend. It was at Tettegouche State park. We had to pack every thing we would need and hike in 1.7 miles on rough terrain. (what ever was packed in also had to packed out) I didn't know what to expect with the terms"rough" terrain but it ended up being like a gravel road that was very hilly. (but it was totally do-able) Once we got to the camp site we had a cabin to stay in. The cabin was great-little log cabin with bunk beds, no running water (but there was a shower and toilet at the camp), a small fridge, a wood burning fireplace, a screened-in porch and oh yeah..mickey the mouse! We didn't see much of him but we did see his teeth marks once in our butter! (so we packed things aways after that) It was a great weekend. Brian whittled walking sticks, I spiked my coffee and Peter cooked all our food for us! (no sink so I had to wash the dishes on the picnic table outside-but I totally didn't mind washing dishes there-I had a lake view with the sounds of loons in the back round) On Saturday we ended up having this grand plan about going for a "little hike", you know only about 1-2 hours of hiking, well 5 hours later we ended up back at our cabin. The plan was to get to the waterfall and head back, but the falls were much further away than I had thought. I did whine a little bit on the way back, but I held my own and actually ended up having a blast! I only fell once, clung onto two rocky cliffs, saw a couple of frogs, 1 snake and a lot of amazing nature. I forgot my camera at my Grandma's the night before so I ended up buying a disposable one for the trip-it'll take a week to get pictures back. To sum it up the weekend was great-getting on a canoe, spending time outside with amazing nature and weather and a lot of hiking. I know it's a little crazy but I can't wait to go back next year!

Mine!
We have started the "MINE" phase. Lately every thing is Axel's! It doesn't matter what it is. He is very sweet about it but still it's "MINE"!
Axel had a weight check this week. We've been doing them once a month to keep a close eye on his weight. He weighs-21 pounds and 3 ounces. Still growing!!
