Lately you have been impressing us very much with all the things you know. You can point and say "eyes", "nose", "mouth", "hair", "teeth", and sometimes "ears". You also know your "toes" "foot" and "hands". You can tell us what a sheep, horse, chicken, cow, kitty, monkey and lion/tiger says. You actually have been able to do the horse and cow for quite a while but you do it so consistently now and you just seem to be learning a new one each day. Last night we were playing with the blocks and while I was building a tower you had picked on up and started saying "puppy", and it was the puppy block, then you pointed to one with a ball and said ball, then you really blew my mind when you said "kitty, meow" and I looked over to you holding a block with the cat picture. It's just amazing to watch you learn!
You have definitely been making progress with your shape sorter toy you got for you birthday. You can put in all the shapes easily by yourself if I show you where to put them. It's so funny, you always pick up the heart and star first when I dump them out, they must be your favorites (you say "heart" too). There are three shape holes on your little red car too, and you have been having fun with those. You can do the circle and square completely by yourself but the triangle is more difficult. You like to say "woah" a lot now and "mmmmm" (even so weird things like a cold bottle or after you have dipped your hand into mommy's tea). Which reminds me, you remember the things we have told you are "hot", like the stove and humidifier, and will say it when you are near them. Also you have started to say "no, no" to things we don't want you to touch like the garbage, but also when you don't want us to do something, like wash your face. Let's see what else do you say? "Art" for paintings/pictures hanging on the wall, "sky" which is always accompanied by a forceful arm thrust towards the sky.; "Nice" when you give hugs and pats on the back; you say "duck"; "bear"(which has a Forest Gump like accent to it); "bird" and "mouse". I'm sure there are others that I can't remember now as well!
You do seem a bit more timid around strangers now, especially the doctors when they try to listen to your heart/lungs, or look in your mouth or ears. You have really hated that the last two times we've gone. You remember your grandparents, but are sometimes shy and timid at first with the extended families. You do love Amanda Getchell though and always want to go to her right when you see her no matter how long it's been since you have seen her last. Last night you were saying her name, something like "Ah-mawn-ya", with a rhythmic emphasis on each syllable.
You are just too cute and make me laugh all the time. It's so funny to see your "skeptical" face, I can only imagine what you must be thinking! You will dance anytime you hear music now. You love the outdoors and often get frustrated (sometimes extremely frustrated) if you want to go outside but we can't. You "sneak" around, by walking slightly crouched down with a mischievous grin on your face. You love run down to our bedroom, get on the bed and wait for us to come down and tickle you. You also love to play with your reflection in the mirror. Daddy and I just love your personality!
