Expanding Vocabulary

I can't believe it has been a month since my last post. What happened to this month? Between Halloween, my birthday, and a visit from my mom, it has been FAST! Just a quick update on the words Alex is now saying:

1. Of course, his most popular phrase, "What's that?
2. In second place, he says "Yeah" and nods his head.
3. Dog, cat, duck.

Those are the words he says most consistently. Even still, he doesn't say dog, cat, and duck much. But he does say "yeah" quite a bit. No "mommy" or "daddy".

Other skills . . .
1. Dancing, dancing, dancing. He will just look at the CD player, even when it's off, point to it, put his hands in the air, and start shaking his butt. That's how we know he is ready for some music.

2. Following directions. He can now go get things we ask for. For example, we will ask him to go into his play kitchen and get us a donut, and he can do it. Or we ask him if he wants to read a specific book, and he can find it on his shelf. He can even fetch me my slippers! Better than the dogs can do.

And that's what's happening on Boomerang Drive this week!

Great News! Love the photos of Christmas in Ephrata! I remember how I felt experiencing Christmas through the eyes of Erik, Mark and Ken when they were little. Honestly, it was far better than experiencing Christmas when you yourself are little. And now I can feel the emotions of joy of a grandmom with our Alexander. He is just such a treasure and so much fun. Really, Bill and I, the Schlosser grandparents can just watch his antics all day long.
He is so smart and a great dancer like his Polish great grandmother.
