Cannon has a new phrase! "Bidat" which I think means "eat that," since he hands me food he wants me to eat when he says it... he is hilarious.

He also tries to feed me a lot. the other day he was trying to give me something and had it up to my mouth and I said "no thanks, I don't want that" and he said "bee?" (His word for please) so adorably that I took the food. he is silly.

We can't really take him anywhere anymore. the few places we have gone in the past few weeks have usually ended in quite a disaster. he is at an age where he gets bored easily and wants to run around wherever but can't always do that. At the grocery store today, he didn't want to stay in the seat of the cart after 10 minutes, and we weren't nearly done shopping. we tried to take him out but he was running everywhere and grabbing stuff, so I eventually had to pick him up and he screamed and yelled. I had to take him outside to the car while Jacob finished the trip. that is usually how our outings go lately, so we have been spending lots of time at home. he has a playset in the backyard that he can climb on and play in, so we have been doing that.

I usually bring toys and books with us when we go out, but he quickly gets bored of those, especially when there is a new place to explore. ;p He is a very energetic, curious, and adventurous kid and it is very hard to get him to sit still!

I really want to go for a walk but it is 1.30am. Actually the fact that is is nighttime during the summer is what makes me want to go for a walk. I miss being able to do that! I wouldn't do it now with a toddler, of course.

I have been feeling so much pressure on my bladder and it is super uncomfortable.

Also I ate like six oreos and now I feel gross. ;(
