I so smart, Mommy

I was doing odd and ends around the house and you were sitting on the couch playing by yourself.  I walked into the living room and you looked up at me and said "I so smart, Mommy".  I chuckled to myself and said "yes, honey, you are a very smart boy".  Apparently, I do a good job of affirming you :-) 

Every time I remember  your sweet little face looking at me and saying "I so smart, mommy" i can't help but smile!  I love you, my very smart little boy!

"K", "W", "E" and well "I"

You recently started to recognize your letters, okay, three letters. You know "K" , "W", and "E". Not sure why you know those letters but whenever you see those letters you are sure to let me know!! You are trying to learn the others and I'm sure it will be soon that you will figure them out... next step... writing them!!

Oh and "I" ... that's another thing. Up until now it was "Javan hungry" or Javan go potty" but that is slowly changing to "I hungry" and "I go potty". Your sentences are getting better and better...

I'm such a proud mommy!!!

Blossoming Imagination

Your imagination is just starting to blossom and it is fun and sometimes surprising the things you think of.

This picture of you pretending to be a turtle by putting a baby bumbo chair on your bottom and crawling around.

The other day you were playing with two apple wedges, one in each hand patting them together saying "clapping" and then you look at the apples, look at me (you could totally see a lightbulb light up in your head) took one of the apples and put it up to your ear and said "hello?"

Its amazing how a child's imagination comes naturally!

Its so funny the strange places that you try to squeeze yourself into!! You crack me up! I just never know what I am going to find when I leave the room!!

Not related, but just cute...Today you had fun watching "football show" with daddy and then proceeded to sing happy birthday to the football.

Why??

I always know to expect you to come home with a new phrase when you spend time with Missi and Aislinn. This last time it was... "Why?".... I was sort of dreading the "why stage" but knew it was inevitable. So, now anytime I ask you to do something it is "why?" or well, pretty much any time we do, see, or talk about anything.. .its "why?" Its cute, though, you are extremely curious right now. At times it can get a little exhausting, but I just have to remind myself that it is just you growing and learning :-)

Other fun things you have done recently:

1. You started making the "mwa" noise when you give us kisses.
2. You put Lexi (our dog) in time out yesterday, apparently she hit the kitty.
