It's hard to believe that my baby is going to be 1 on Wednesday. We have had so much fun with Evan and are so thankful that the Lord brought him into our family. Here are a few of his latest "tricks"...
- He loves to stick his tongue out. When we ask him, "Where is your mouth?" He sticks his finger in his mouth.
- He said "Mmmmm..." yesterday at dinner when he liked what he was eating.
- He says two animal sounds. "Baaa" for sheep and "Sssss" for snake. He also laughs hysterically when say "Woof, woof" for a dog. I guess dog sounds are really funny.
- He is thinking about walking and can take one lunging step. He can stand for about 8 seconds without holding on if he is playing with a toy and doesn't realize he is standing.
- He can climb onto Andrew's toddler bed and our futon all by himself. He is so proud of himself after he gets on.
- He goes up and down stairs all by himself. He loves his new freedom. We often find him in Nathan and Andrew's bedroom playing with their toys.
- He gives us hugs when we ask for them. He leans in very fast, so you have to brace yourself or you may bump heads. He also gives kisses with a big, slobbery open mouth.
- He loves to play chase with Dad. Daddy gets down on all fours and they chase each other around the house. Both of them laugh and laugh.
- He can do the signs for "more" and "please". The sign for "please" is a hand brushed across the chest. In the morning, we bring Evan into bed with us so I can nurse him. I ask him "Do you want some milk?" Instead of using his hand on his own chest, he signs please either on my chest or on my pillow. It's very cute.
- After he's done cuddling in the morning, he turns around and backs down our bed onto the floor. The bed is pretty high, but he has no fear.
- He knows the phrases "Stand up" and "Sit down" and follows those directions.
