More Memories!

Ian's vocabulary is developing at a feverish pace. I can't even keep up with all the new things he is saying DAILY, but here's some newsworthy developments...

-We've entered the phase of questioning. "What doing mommy?" will echo me around the house. Even after I've already explained to him 10 different ways!

-Speaking of questions, "Why?" has slipped out once. I know life will forever change once it becomes more commonplace!

-Throwing a tantrum, he will now often toss in a painful jab, "No mommy! You mean!"

-He seeks praise for his behaviors, "I did it!"

-Children's television shows that ask questions of the audience will actually get his participation! I'm surprised by things he can actually answer sometimes!

-He's becoming aware of health concerns, asking and informing us of different maladies. "Mommy you sick?" or "Ma foot hurt," and even reminding us, "No milk. Make-a tummy hurt."

-Just a little bit bossy at times, "No do it!" or "You sit. You play with me."

-And yes, you read that correctly, he's adding in the occasional preposition. He even uses pronouns correctly about 95% of the time. (I, me, you).

Zoe's still growing just as fast, just a little quieter!

-Although perfectly capable of low-crawling, she will only chase down objects within a 3 foot radius.

-She's up on all fours, and rocking back and forth...very close to a fully-recognizable crawl.

-Little babbles escape her lips every once in a while, with raspberries still being the favorite. (Especially if she's just eaten some rice cereal).

-Speaking of cereal, we've just introduced potatoes as the first taste of "real" food. Matt apologizes to her, but she doesn't seem to mind!

That's about it for now. Or at least all I'm going to type up tonight! :)
