My son at Halloween 2008

Designbuilt · Nov 2, 2008

This is my son George Matthew, he turned 15 months exactly on Halloween, he just started walking without grabbing on Last week. Here is a pic of him as Batman, he wouldn't leave on the mask, so my wife had the ingenious idea of putting on a hood underneath.

But instead wanted to go back home and take everything out of the cabinets and throw it around as usual. I tried to get the child proof locks, he figured them out. Notice the second pic that has a gallon, he tossed it right out this kid can toss pots and pans with one hand, it's wonderful, when I'm trying to work from home in my basment!

Those shots are great. I often wonder how parents are able to say no or discipline a kid that is that cute. Seriously, it has to be hard not to laugh when the little guys favorite thing to do is toss a pan across the room just because he can.

Thanks for sharing these shots.

Thanks for your comments guys.

Yeah it is tough Dusty. We started telling him "no" a lot now. He's been getting on the nasty side. Now if he doesn't want something to eat for example, he will slap it out of our hand and grind it into the ground with his feet. But at 15months, it's time that he starts learning what is right and wrong. He also loves to bite, this being my first child, it's tough, just like you said.

And right away he starts with his 4 tooth smile, and it's hard, you hit the nail right on the head with that one! I took these a few weeks ago. In the first he takes all of the pots and pans out, then gives the smile. My wife did punish him (check out the hair cut she gave him! on the second pic)

The good thing is that we live far from the grandparents, and they only get to see him once in a while. I've known people who actually lived with the grandparents; those kids came out spoiled rotten.

i know what your saying bout the first kid and all. by the second you know how to discipline a lot better. just follow your instinct and never punish when your angry calm down first. as for grandparents dont ya just love how there grandchild can never do anything wrong lol. then your a bad parent for scolding them at the grandparents house

. really cute kid man.

he is an adorable batman

SABAGOY · Nov 3, 2008

haha...great costume!

Designbuilt · Nov 4, 2008

Yes Too much, you are soo right about that. They also spoil the kids too much, you know they give them everything. But I will do my best with my son. He looks so much like me that it's scary, my mom showed me a pic where I couldn't believe it.

Thanks Phoenix, FSM, Sabagoy, everyone else for commenting.

As far as the Batman costume, RonJon, my wife likes everything Retro, so that looks like the original batman with Adam West and Caesar Romero.

He is a cutie for sure..
Now get him into the gym so he can throw around some real iron instead of the cookware!!!

Designbuilt · Nov 5, 2008

Yeah Oldfella, I have to do something with him. Yesterday he was gagging on a piece of meat, so I took it out of his mouth. So his latest thing is putting his fist in his mouth, making himself gag then laughing.

Well he was at it today too. I gag just thinking about it. So he does it even more. My wife said to ignore him, then he will stop, but every time he sees me now, that's what he does. The things they will do to get a reaction.

He is a clever little guy. Knows how to manipulate you already!! LOL. Your wife is correct, ignore the behaviour and he will get over it! They lear n fast that's for sure.

damn man thats crazy. my sons biggest thing was the evil eye, and copious amounts of food. he would stuff it in his mouth give me the stink eye. then start choking. my wife said just ignore him after this went on for a couple weeks or so. he finaly quit after nobody ran over. we just both sat on the edge of our seats ready to do the heimlich manouver. kids can be trieng. just wait though he will get older figure out new ways to pester you. just testing the waters though at this point.

Yeah, and he laughs about it, like if he knows it bothers me then he follows me around. He's something

...oh, thats just his suit? CUTE kid. i want one! or do i...? -STEELE

At first I thought that you meant a batman suit. That you don't need, at least from the pics I've seen and your Avatar. As far as a baby, definately! I didn't really want one years ago, but we planned for my son after 7 years of marriage. He makes me want to work harder and even got me to start working out again, after a 7 year layoff. I want him to be proud of me.

He is, he's always smiling and dancing, that's the funniest, he also flirts with all of the girls.

Yeah all I really do at work and with my family is just talk about the new things he does.

My wife tells me that I bore must be people with the stories, since I'm so excited about him, I think that everyone else is too.

Wow! That's quite a statement. I never thought of it like that. I admire that.

Thank you Phoenix, you're such a sweet lady. Here is one more It's one of my favorites, I had him in his baby chair, to keep him from running all over the place. He reached for the remote and threw it then laughed, he looked so funny that I had to snap a pic of him.
