Because I'll Forget!

I have to write these things down now! Ben's baby book only goes till 12 months and Tom has voiced sadness how much he's missing Ben growing up so I've been trying to record more! Almost 17 months.

  Words he says: Mom, Dad, kisses, duck, dog, uh oh, that, keys,...I know there are more- I'll have to add them later when I remember!

Animal sounds he makes: Cock-a-doodle-do, bunny rabbit nibbling sound, a horse doing that...not neighing, not spitting but sputtering sound- ya he does that like a pro. And makes a snake's hissing sound. When I say, "What does a gorilla do?" he hits his chest with both fits. 

Commands he knows and follows (well when he wants to): No! Bring it here, Give it to (fill in blank), Come here, Go to Dad, Put it down!, Turn off the tv, Go get a story/book, Kiss, wave bye-bye.

Words he understands and goes to when used or points at when asked where they are: bedroom, books, stories, high chair, tv, diaper, medicine, teddy bear, truck, stroller, couch, blanket, soft, food, hungry (walks to his high chair) Thomas the Train, Dad, Grandma, fruit snacks, (gold) fishes, sheep, owls, cat, dog, rooster, chicken, duck, mice, chicks, vacuum, baby wash, soap, shower, (chocolate) milk, sippy-cup, time-out, by-by, stairs, french-fry, spaghetti, chocolate-chips (cough...don't know where he got that!) shoe, phone, blocks, and many more.

Things he's been doing the last few weeks: Pulling out the outlet plug covers- BOTH styles! Turning the tv on and off, when he hears a dog barking he'll say, "DOG".  When we read his favorite book he always says the last word (mom) its so cute. I recorded it but blogger isn't uploading the video. And just today he figured out all by himself how to lock himself into his highchair with all latches- I was shocked! Again, I took a video of it but can't get the gay thing to upload without getting an "error" thing. LAME. When I bring food to the table he immediately folds his arms without being told. =) 

Things he loves: Thomas & Friends, Baby Einstein. Sing-a-longs. Taking showers or bathes and he has no problem with the water running over his face =) Chocolate milk, gold fish, french fries, spaghetti, m&m's, story time, helping to vacuum, playing with the broom and mop making same motions as mommy, mom getting on the floor and playing with him!

Things he hates: Car Seat, Sitting in a grocery cart or even standing in a cart- has to be held, ouch. When mom is on the computer too much and not playing with him.
