Shoes

"Shoes" is Kai's favorite word. When he's not saying it, he's looking for them, trying to take them off or put them on, or moving them around the house. He actually puts them away where they belong - he moves pairs one at a time from the front door to the mud room down the hall. That's more than I can say for my older two!

He also likes to say socks, ball, daddy, and is just starting mommy. He doesn't quite have a hang of the consonant at the end of the one-syllable words (baw), but you know what he means. And "meh" accompanied by the appropriate sign language means milk. He was very excited to figure out how to ask for something and get our response! We praise him immensely. He is so cute squeezing his little fingers together and I much prefer to hear "meh meh meh" than his cry.

He has provided us with a lot of entertainment lately with all of his copying. His cognitive abilities are very impressive for his small size, considering he's behind in all the other developmental areas. Today as we gave him eggs for supper that were a bit too hot he would blow on each bite before putting it in his mouth. Later tonight he was throwing pillows around with Kav in his room. But at least when they were done he went to put his pillow back where it belongs (which is on the window sill, to block the morning light that comes through the severely scissors-cut window shade)!
