This month his fine motor skills have been on showcase. He is getting way better at putting together his Legos. Most of the time he can attach the different pieces. When he can't, he gets a little frustrated and hands it to me. His dancing skills are also getting better. He has been bouncing from one foot to the other and up and down for months. Now he is doing a little wiggle too. It's adorable. He can turn on the music on the CD player at my mom's and gets himself dancing.
His vocabulary hasn't increased by that much, but he has been using the ones that he has a lot. Especially truck! Every truck that we see when we are in the car, he excitedly points it out and yells "tuck!" He has said a few words once, so his ability to repeat words is increasing. He understands almost everything we say; he follows almost all of our directions and understands most of our questions.
His favorite foods this month have been waffles and French toast. When he hears the waffle maker ding, he gets very excited! He only has the front 8 teeth as of now, so he doesn't have the most advanced chewing ability. He loves apples, but he has trouble chewing them. He bites some off, works on it for a few minutes and then spits it out when he can't quite swallow it. I'm glad he likes apples, but I'll be even happier when he can fully chew them. He has also gotten very good at drinking his water from a straw- it's hydrating and fun.
He is becoming more and more affectionate. When he's feeling shy, he will hug our legs or want to hold our hands. His hugs are a little dangerous for me though, because he pulls my hair hard. He has given me a few real kisses, which were a real treat. The person he hugs the most is his cousin Emma; when he sees her in the morning he jumps up and down and then rushes over to hug her. Good thing she thinks of him as a brother!
He sat up nicely for a couple of pictures
Playing in the sunroom
Taking a break
His fierce "this is heavy" face
He likes to dump things out and put them back
He's coming to get me
Did I mention he prefers to brush his own hair now?
