Winding up to say something big, and loud
Baby B is learning and saying new words at an amazingly quick speed. He can name all of the people in his family, except for my parents who he calls by their first names because the "gr" sound of gramma and grampa hasn't been mastered yet. I don't even call my parents by their first names, so it's pretty funny to hear this precocious little person do it! He strings together "Daddy", "work", and "car" on a regular basis to which I respond, "Yes, Daddy went to work in his car." He strings together "Baby D" and "pool" pretty frequently as well because we are in the middle of a two week swim class with Baby D and his mom. And, perhaps most amusing, he will point to the bathroom door and say "Poop!" whenever one of us is using the facilities. Perhaps this mental connection will help speed along his own potty training?! (I know, I know, keep dreaming Mama P...)
Whenever Baby B is surrounded by something in his environment that he has a word for, he says it. When he sees a picture of himself at the beach on our computer background, he points at the computer and says "Beach!" When we see a bus in a parking lot, he yells "but!" (close enough right?) and starts waving his hands around doing the hand motions to the song, "Wheels on the Bus." And if he doesn't have anything specific to say, he'll just talk gibberish, which invariably includes his favorite line of "e-i-e-i-e-i" from Old McDonald, just without the o at the end.
Baby B doesn't quite get the concept of miniature golf yet. As soon as Hubby T helped him hit the ball, he ran after it screaming "ball!!"
As the above picture indicates, he is having a grand old time running at faster speeds and climbing onto almost everything. Fortunately there has been no climbing out of the crib yet, not sure what I'm going to do with myself when that happens! This morning he climbed onto my chair at the breakfast table and got hold of the cheerio bag. While this could have ended in cheerios all over the floor, he instead sat there with the bag in his lap chowing down on handful after handful of cheerios. He is keeping us on our toes!
And last, one of his cutest developments of late, is Teddy. Baby B has never shown any interest whatsoever in the mountains of stuffed animals that he received when he was born. A couple weeks ago, however, he all of the sudden and completely out of the blue, grew fond of his Teddy. This is a particularly special development because Baby B's teddy is an exact replica of the bear that Hubby T grew up with. It was purchased by Hubby T's grandmother years and years ago because they feared they'd have to replace Hubby T's original teddy after so much loving. They didn't end up needing it, so Hubby T saved it for his first child. And now here we are...
Keep growing baby boy, keep growing...we can't wait to see what comes next:)
