Oshawa Easter

After being visited by the Easter Bunny at home, Chippy took off for Oshawa for some Easter fun. He played with lots of trains, which is great considering he can now pick out the train in one of his books. He opened lots of Easter Bunny gifts and played the quiet game with Bean!

Easter Wabbit

The Easter Bunny came to visit Chippy and Dunning this weekend! While the real hunt was to be for cereal bars, Chippy much preferred the kibble hunt for Dunning!

New Favourites...

Here are some of Chippy's new favourite things..
Teddy Grahams ... thanks Ruthie!!

Turning our light on when we're supposed to be sleeping!!

Pulling everything out of every cupboard and drawer he can reach in the kitchen!!

Cheese!!!!

It's hard enough taking a picture of Chippy these days because he won't sit still. Now we add into the mix a cheesy smile every time he looks at the camera! I don't know who taught him this, but I hope it's just a phase!! Here are three versions taken today.
We had a few breakthroughs today ... Mommy asked for kisses after his nap this afternoon and I got two big open mouth kisses!! I also served up baby pasta and tomato sauce for dinner tonight and he ate everything I served him ... plus he finished the 1/4 bowl I had left!! He ate every single morsel of pasta. Maybe it's dad's cooking he doesn't like.... :-P

The Food Wars

So, in an attempt to get Chippy to expand his palate we recently started to give him his whole dinner all at once rather than one thing at a time. He's doing okay, except the same things get eaten! First off he eats the kiwi/yogourt, then the bread, then the peach applesauce with hidden meat flavour, then he tries the canned Heinz veggie/pasta surprise ... and forget about trying the ham & potato soup! Just by looking at it he knew it was new and didn't even try it! Silly Chippy!

On a separate note, we can now see all 4 molar teeth that were coming in - he officially has 11 teeth!

Springtime...

While Bean was off enjoying her first swing ride, Chippy had another afternoon at the park last weekend. Not much to report...
Hello to anyone reading this in Edinburgh!!!

Don't Look Now Chippy ...

... there's a piece of chicken in your mouth!! We had a milestone moment tonight when Chippy surprised us both and munched happily on THREE pieces of chicken I gave him! We're not getting our hopes up, but it's a step in the right direction!

It was an eventful night tonight. Firstly Chippy had a meltdown outside the car when I picked him up from daycare. He sat, laid back, and then rolled into the road face first between the car and the sidewalk - all within 3 seconds. He didn't hurt himself, but he made his point!

When we got home he helped to feed Dunning! He flips the lid off the food, grabs the scoop and transfers kibble from the bin to Dunning's bowl. Then he takes some out of the bowl and transfers them back to the bin. He went back and forth for a few minutes until I finally stopped him (and he had another meltdown!).

He then showed us that he knows exactly where the treats are! He goes to the cupboard, bumps the door to open it, goes straight for the Farley's biscuits, and then helps himself to the last two digestive cookies. It's amazing how he can pick out the 'yummy' food from the not so yummy food!

Fabregas?

Watch out Cesc Fabregas - there's someone after your job! Chippy spent the afternoon outside today playing soccer with Dunning. Afterward, we had a good supper! Mommy finally found a way to make Chippy eat meat - Heinz sells bottled beef and chicken (or what they call beef and chicken) and when mixed with apple sauce it goes down a storm!

I Didn't Want That Milk Anyway!
