Trash

Nevin has learned to throw things away. This is a double edged sword because he's not all that selective about what gets thrown away. Sometimes I have to recover things - like my DS pen. Sometimes he's really helpful - like throwing away the trash from making boxes at the post office while I start paying. He's also sometimes decides he wants to play with something instead of throw it away so I can't give him anything really messy.

Tonight at dinner, he was throwing away trash for us. He threw away a bag. He came back for another bag. That one had something in it so it must be studied. He saw the cup the fries came in. He took that out, handed the trash off to his sister (who was helping him open the can) an walked to the drink machine. He wasn't all that happy when we took the cup back and threw it away...

Two words?

Yesterday, he said, "Gogo doh" while pointing at the door of our bedroom. Usually he says "gogo" or "doh" but not together. Chrys and I agreed that it was a fluke.

Then he was sitting on the toilet with me and said, "Mama dun" with his sign for done.

Maybe not a fluke. Two word sentences already?!? Maybe that big giant head has a purpose.

Gotta eat

He found a Duplo pitch fork and a random brick and started using them together. He bangs the pitchfork somewhere on the brick and then shoves it into someone's mouth. So far Corin and I have been fed. He seems very proud of himself.

Eat

Nevin has taken to signing eat. All. The. Time.

He signs it when he wants to nurse (which is any time he can see my chest). He signs it in the kitchen. He signs it in the dining room. He signs it when daddy gets home (because dinner comes shortly after).

Fortunately, this followed a day where he walked into the kitchen, went to the lazy susan, got a packet of applesauce, walked to the dining room (waiting for me at the door) to get to his high chair, waited to be picked up, handed me the pouch to open, took it away when I tried to feed him with a spoon, and then proceeded to suck every ounce out of food from it.

You'd think we were starving him.

Straws

He can use them!!

Communication

Everything right now starts with a "D". However, I am starting to understand words.

Tonight, we were nursing before bed. He sits up. "Dun." He looks at the door. "Dada." He looks back at me. "Do do do" (and those rhyme with go because that's what he's saying.) Then he starts waving goodbye to me.

Yes, sir. Message received.

Walking

He's starting to prefer to walk instead of crawl. He can only take a few steps (have seen as many as 5). Nevertheless, he will pretty consistently crawl to someplace he can pull up, take those steps and then crawl to pull up again. Not too much longer.
