In the life of me.

John is understanding more and more every day now. He gets excited when his diaper is changed because he goes to throw it away himself. He also lifts himself up to help us get his diaper under him. Lately, he’s been a big fan of helping clean the house. The most amazing thing I think he’s doing now is learning at least one new word a day! I’m not kidding. Just today he has tried saying duck, dinosaur (Elmo’s World topic of the day today), turtle, and baby. They come out as “duh”, “na” (said it everytime a dinosaur was shown. I thought he was saying no at first until I watched the screen with him. When it was the b-day cake he said nothing, but soon as dinos were on it “na”), “durdle”, “bahbee”. When the counting happens on Sesame Street he’ll say Doo and Dee for two and three. Now he also says bye bye to Elmo when he says goodbye. He also tries to say the letters of the alphabet. He likes a, d, e, i, r and s the most. These letters spew out when watching Sesame Street or Wheel of Fortune. I was honestly suprised at his attempt to say baby today. Most of the time he says “Mama” when I ask where is the baby when we are reading a book with a baby in it. We told him a couple of months ago that Mama has a baby growing in her tummy. So he’s been associating baby and mama since then. I’m just tickled that he is learning so much and so fast! By far, the most adorable thing he does is steal my slippers, put them on, take his “brief case” (emptied out First Aid kit with toys in it), go to the hall door and say “I love you. Bye bye.”. Then he shuts the door and runs off to his room like he’s going to work.
