Hi again! Are you feeling as overwhelmed with this whole time-won't-ever-stop-and-let-me-catch-my-breath? I hope it's not just me.
As I spin my wheels out of control, the boy keeps growing. And talking, oh my! That little man can TALK. In the past week, he's been jabbering away *more* than usual: in the car, on the phone, to the TV, to his monkey, to the couch... you get the idea. In the past two days, he's also started echo-ing the exact phrase and tone that Jim and I use, as we're talking to each other and not the little 2 foot person. Like after Jim sneezed and said "excuse me", we hear a little voice from the floor "scoose ME". Other examples...
When picking up a phone (real, toy, or imaginary) and putting it to his ear: 'lo!
To strangers at a restaurant or store: HI!
When he hears keys jangle: bye! bye! with a little wave.
When he sees pictures of food, even if he's never had it, like SHRIMP on a commercial: MMMMM.
Any type of football symbol: helmet, ball, player, crowd- this can be TV, radio or just a picture: TACK-ELLLLL!
tonight in the bath, I heard him using the same phrase over and over again as he placed letters on the wall. Then I realized he was saying: ready, set, go! (place letter) (repeat).
If other people are laughing, even if he doesn't know why: the laugh is mimicked.
Maybe we should call him our little mockingbird?
