Words

The words Mama, Dada, Kee (kitty), Ight (light), and ilk (milk) is what we have so far. There’s a host of things he’s also said but this is the list where both parents were present, looked at each other and nodded in agreement that something was said. These are also some of the more obvious ones for us to translate, because he’s learned to point quite a bit, and can do the sign language for milk. So he’s signing for milk and saying ILK ILK ILK!!! or he’s pointing up at the light and proclaiming IGHT!!!

His eyes are definitely a bit more brown since maybe three weeks ago. They’re getting to the point where if you asked a complete stranger I no longer think they’d say hazel or grey… but brown… and definitely not blue.

Sorry no new pics again… and I’m trying very hard to get some stepping* video on here, but the camera itself is such a distraction that I don’t seem to be able to get it on tape.

*not calling it walking until he can take three consecutive steps, maybe four, without falling on his bum or grabbing something for a hand-hold.

EDIT – On a semi-related note, our cat is getting smarter too. He now pulls the leash off of the bookshelf when he wants to go outside. Must be something in the water.
