Timothy Hits the Ground Running

I have lots more to share, but here is just a smidgen of Timothy for the month! more to follow!

And today we have here, the cutest little tyke running around, making all sorts of converstaional noises and generally wreaking enjoyment at every turn. He is quite the sponge and continues to immitate people around him.

His new sounds are J and G sounds. Juice, Jesse, Ga-Ga. But most funny is when he quacks like a duck or reves the engine of his plastic Tonka Truck!

Walking has come with ease and a new curiousity of every room in the house, careful to check if anyone's watching and defiantly crosses the 'off limits' room of my roommate's son's room. All sorts of choking hazards in there! He's nearly tall enough to reach the door knobs, yet our liitle 44 percentile genius is still not able to wrap his little hands around it to open the door. Closing them is sure fun though!

We taught him how to sign a few words and use them in context. Daycare is now teaching him and reinforcing it as well, which it makes me very happy and it's easier to part with the tuition now I see such positive influences and teachings. He can sign the following: more, please, thank you, finished. We are working on kitty, tree, hungry. He can point to his nose, mouth, eyes and toes. His head and hair are a great request when changing his diaper since he found his penis. He waits ever so patiently with his hand ready was the diaper velcro tears away from the diaper. And before I have a chance to give him a wipe to play with, he's already inspecting! In order to get away from this, we have started to distract him with games to point to objects, body parts and find his hair!

He's the cutest and sweetest little guy! Until next time!
