A Duck Fetish

Ari has shown quite an obsession with ducks lately. His favorite block is the one that quacks, he loves his bath time rubber ducky, he squeals at the duck page in his animal book, and loves to stare at his inflatable duck bath. Today Ari kept wanting me to take him in his room, show him the duck bath and make it quack (he let's you know this by looking in a particular direction, in this case is room, and making cooing sounds white holding his arms out and rolling his wrists). I was in the process of making Ari a blanket and finally got really sick of him always wanting to see the duck bath. I finally brought the bath in the living room and put him and his books in there. He thought he was in heaven (Exhibit A below).


After awhile Ari figured out he could tip the duck on it's side and still look at books...after he discovered this there was no going back, he just wanted to sit in the duck bath on it's side, the photo looks like he's tipping over but he wasn't, he was just sitting like that. (Exhibit B below). I'm pretty sure he was using his hips...which means we might have a kayaker on our hands!


Ari is definitely starting to develop a personality, and it's pretty quirky...not to mention entertaining. He's 100% little boy, I can already tell were going to have our hands full with this one.
