Well, he’s 22 months old today! I can’t believe it! It feels like he should still be a baby because we just brought him home yesterday. But, he’s not a baby anymore, he’s a little kid. A precocious, stubborn, busy, delightful little kid. Today he told me that he loved me for the first time. We put him down for his nap and I said “Love you!” and he said back “You!” I think it counts!
Brilliant Baby Tricks: He can count to three, but he knows that 5 is your whole hand. He knows what noises a wolf, monkey, dog, lion, tiger, frog, pig, cow, horse and owl make. He knows where his feet, toes, teeth, mouth, tongue, hair, nose, eyes, ears, hands and fingers are.
