Little Man News

So much has been going on around here. We're all settled into our new place, and loving it! Little Man is growing up so fast! His fifth tooth broke through today (hallelujah!) and he's been saying lots of new words. His favorite word is "Hi" but in the last few days, we've heard him say "doggie," and "Jesus." He even said "Hi, Dad" yesterday. Does that count as his first sentence? He knows most of his body parts (he always gets a kick out of sticking his fingers in his ears) and just learned to "moo" like a cow. He's stilling quacking, too. Every time he sees water or a bird or a place he remembers seeing a duck, he quacks. The quack has evolved into more of a clearing-the-throat noise, but it's hilarious. Part of our night-time routine at our new house is to water the garden. Over the last few days, Little Man has been fascinated with sticking different body parts in the stream of water coming from the hose. He'll stick his hands, his torso, and his head in, and laughs his head off every time. And we had a Little Man first tonight: he pooped in the bath for the first time! Aren't kids awesome?






And for your viewing pleasure, here's a video of Little Man enjoying his first-ever ice cream cone. See if you notice another new skill: sighing.
