What I can do now!!



I am standing up and moving around a lot now! I have even stood for a few seconds without holding on to anything. I can say more and more words now. I can say Elmo, milk, daddy, play, drink, this, ball, bath, down, mama, and brother. I'm starting to copy words now too. I can copy "ahhh" too. When Daddy said ahhh after a drink I tried it too. My favorite word is "this." I say it all the time. I say it when I want to talk about something and I don't know what to say. I even said my first two word phrase today "play-play this" when I saw something in Mama's hair that I really liked. Mama had to take it away because it wasn't safe for me, but I kept looking for it.
At night before I go to bed I have to do my very first chore. It is exciting to do grown-up things. Every night Mama takes me around the house and I turn off all the lights. I like my job. Sometimes it takes me a minute to make my fingers do the right thing, but I'm learning.
During the day I like to sleep in the Ergo carrier. At night I love to sleep on my pillow. Right now I like to play the "down game" when I'm eating. My brothers laugh when I throw food on the floor. Sometimes I just want to see what happens to it when it hits the floor. Sometimes I do it because my brothers laugh. And sometimes I do it when I don't want to eat the food anymore and I'm trying to clear off my tray.
I climbed in my toybox yesterday and was very excited. I never did that before. Today I did it again and even sat down in my toybox. It is fun to do new things.
