Apple Jack...

is what we're calling Leyton these days! Last week Brody attended his first field trip to an apple orchard. He came home with a bag of apples, and they have been sitting in the fruit basket on the kitchen island. On Sunday, Leyton started pointing to them and saying "Ba-bo" so I gave him a tiny one that fit right in his hand. I thought he would just look at it, maybe try to bite it, and get tired of it very quickly. I was totally wrong! He went to town, biting off chunks one after the other, and ate that thing until there was really nothing left. Not only did he love it, but he refused to give it up. When I tried to take it from him, he threw the biggest fit I've ever seen. He was like a dog with a bone, and with those new chompers of his, you better not get too close! Every day since he has pointed to the apples and requested one during at least one of his meals. Too funny!

Lovin' the apple!

Or maybe we'll call him Chucky! This is the goofy face Leyton now makes whenever I say "Smile, Leyton!" A little scary, I know. We'll keep working on it!
