Chatterbox

Our little boy is getting more and more expressive all the time. It is awesome to see his receptive language growing - we can tell him to do something and he will! Well, when he wants to - he is also asserting his new-found independence.

Conversely, he amazes us every day with new words. I started a list of the things he says consistently and it is over 40 words, plus 12 animal sounds. Woah! When he isn't saying things that we understand, he babbles, imitates us, talks to his toys, and sings almost constantly. It is so fun to communicate verbally with our sweet Dax and he seems so proud of himself every time we understand what he says.

Maybe his extensive vocabulary is due to all of his reading...

Searching for the right magazine to read while Mommy washes her hands

He chose a copy of Smithsonian from Great-Grandpa Olson :)
