Unless you have had the opportunity to see Byron in person you would not know just how big he is. He is barely 2 1/2 years old but looks more like 3 1/2. Not only is he tall like his daddy but he has large hands and feet and is quite solid and very heavy. It is becoming more and more difficult to just pick him up on a whim. To go along with his build he has an appetite for food, especially sweets like I have not seen in a long time. We must always be on guard if we have something that he shouldn't have before his dinner. He has super sonic hearing, vision and smell if it is sugar or chocolate and will come running instantly begging for bites or some of his own. One of his favorite words right now is "nack" meaning fruit snacks and he will literally grab Dave's hand and drag him to the pantry to get a snack all the while repeating "nack" over and over. The glee on his face when he gets a snack is something to behold but if he doesn't, let the tantrum begin. He makes us laugh so much with his drama right now.
Before he could verbalize Jill had taught him some sign language and one of the signs was eat. You do this by bringing your hand to your mouth with fingertips touching your thumb and tapping the lips to illustrate placing food in the mouth. Everything he does is pronounced and big and so instead of that sign he developed his way. He simply opens his mouth and points his index finger into his open mouth over and over again. Some time I would love to catch him on video doing this but until I can I just had to show this little video I ran across which so demonstrates at the end what he does.
This cat is Byron's brother.

That is hysterical! Definitely Byron, too! That's so funny that we both did a blog about my child's voracious appetite! But it's one of the biggest things about him right now... :)
I just *LOVE* that video!! I can't stop watching it - every time, it just gets funnier!!!
There's a couple of parts that the cat does what my daughter wants us to get up. She'll bat and poke at our faces, and she'll kinda do this 'pounce' thing. Honestly it's a rather sly tactic my hubby & I both use to wake the other. Thank you SO much for the laughs - I needed that :o)
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods, and hope you had a wonderful Easter! Much love to you & yours, take care and God Bless.
I love that video, I just had to watch it a few more times because it's so funny!
That is hilarious! It reminds me of my days before my cat allergies. That is exactly how they act. I guess kids too! And you're right, Byron looks a lot older than his 2-1/2 years. I need to read more of your blog...it drives me crazy that I don't have time to just sit down and enjoy everyone's life very often. :( Thanks for the funny video. I know some people who'll love it :)
