Well it's been soooo long since my last post but I promise there's lots to show. We had a great summer with Caleb. He loved being outside and didn't mind the heat (~35 degrees C). He also had lots of fun swimming, especially with his dad. In the evenings it was difficult to get him indoors, he wanted to stay outside as long as possible, and whined and banged on the door when we brought him in. He began to understand a lot more and say little words here and there, and now talks all the time, mostly one word at a time. He has just begun a "repitition" thing which sometimes drives me batty - he get excited about something and points at it and then repeats the word LOUDLY about 20 times in a row, whether or not you acknowledge him. Some of his first favourite words were "num-num" - for when he was hungry or eating something enjoyable, "dog-dog", "uh-oh" - for when he drops something, and "eyes", which he usually said while jamming his finger into your eye socket. But his very favourite is "button" which he says very clearly, referring to the bellybutton, usually mommy's, which is protruding a LOT :) Anyway, enjoy the following photos and vids:
