Almost 1 1/2 years old
Noah will be 1.5 years old tomorrow. at this time his
vocabulary is increasing and he's surprising us every
day. Among the things he's doing now, he can take off
his socks, he brushes, (with a "Sonicare") he
flosses, drinks out of a regular cup, with ocasional
spills but hey even I do that some times. The words
he's mentoned lately: Carne (meat) agua, mama, dadda,
abuelito/a, uncle, auntie, Trey (his cousin), Dayton
(his cousin), hamburger, Jello, apple sauce, thank
you, I love you, Cherry, candy, leche, bena (Zapoteco
for Grandpa/old man), Truck, Nena , up, no, help,
chocolate, cookie, apple, lemon, ball, basket ball
airplane, bug, ema (neighbor's dog's name), cat, All
these words he's saying consistently but he's
immitating many others and tries to say what we are
saying. He has many signs for things he can't yet
pronounce, such as, Garage door closing he puts his
two fists together as if he was clapping with them.
When he wants his music he starts the signs that go
with itsy bitsy spider. He touches his head to ask
for a hat, his grandpa plays the clarinette, when he
wants to see it or hears it he blows on his index
finger. He's a little clown he likes attention and if
someone is not paying attention he will get on your
face and call your name (or what ever he wants to
call you) in my case "dadda" if i am still not
looking at him he will grab my head and make me give
him eye contact. He will fall or do funny stuff to
get attention. He lately came up with walking like an
old man and walks around with his back half bent to
make momma laugh. He's got his 1 1/2year appointment
with the doctor. We will be posting the results as
soon as we can know. Noah has been swimming and loves
the water, which felt good during these hot days
which were upwards of the 105 degrees in many places.
We have been eating outdoors because it is too hot to
be in the kitchen. We will be posting more.
Shortly.
Getting better
