He's talking like crazy and probably saying many complete thoughts, however most are incomprehensible to me at this point. A few things we have picked up on are:
I sit, I eat, I read, etc.
I Luh U
Whe Ah Uuuu (sometimes with a word in front of something he is looking for, for example: Gurcle (circle) or Ball, Whe Rrr Uuuu), oh and usually followed by Der it is!
Uh-Oh, wah happen?
He points out airplanes, trucks, buses, tractors, trains and any other automobile he sees or hears. He's also all about the moon, stars, cickicks (crickets), fy-fy's (fireflies), caperpillas (caterpillers), and the list goes on, but mostly all animals found in Eric Carle books (which we have many). He is into books more than ever! He wants to read or look at the pictures every chance he gets! If anyone has a suggestion for a kid friendly bookshelf, that would be great.
The other day when Nick came home, and he ran right to him and turned around and said "Hi Baba." That was a first.
This past weekend he was eating raisins, a.k.a. ni ni, and he simultaneously sang and signed mo' mo' mo' ni ni. It was hilarious and in tune I might add. Speaking of singing, he sings along with toddler radio every morning in the car with Nick and has started singing along to some songs like Adele's Rolling in the Deep with me. That originated back when I was playing that album every day on the way home from school (at the end of the day, there is very little patience left in Mama for toddler radio).
As of last week, he knows how to turn my phone on, slide to unlock it, get to the second page where my game folder is, open that and open the toddler jukebox app, from there he plays his favorite songs and sings along like Ol' McDonald and Wheels on the Bus. He can do pretty much the same sequence on my iPad. It's a little frightening how easy Apple products are for 2 year-old brains and fingers to navigate.
I'm not sure I've ever loved anything as much as Z loves Blue's Clues. It is now the only thing he asks to watch. I think it's a cute show too, so it's not on my nerves yet. However, I may change my mind after we have our Blue's Clues themed birthday party!
I haven't so much as picked up my camera in the past couple of weeks, but I promise I'll get better. I am getting Photoshop Elements soon (with my new laptop :)), so I'm sure that will be motivation for me to get to snapping.
We have a our 2 year photo shoot tomorrow with Heather Swanner, so stay tuned for that! And hopefully, I'll get back on the blog train for good!
