We've had a busy couple of weeks so I apologize for not adding any updates. Two weeks ago Abram had pink eye and then this past week Josh and I have been sick with colds...yucky cold season. In the midst of all of this Abram still finds time to have fun. Some of his new favorite words are:
-ducky: This is Abram's second favorite animal besides puppies and it's his clearest word, I think most people would understand that is what he is trying to say.
-hat: Abram can turn anything into a hat as you can see by the pictures below. He knows where his head is if you ask him. It's nice that he likes wearing hats so close to winter.
-ball: Everything that is round is a ball: streetlights, oranges, buttons, etc. He also loves throwing balls, well throwing anything really.
-bowl: Another example of something Abram likes to throw!
-boat: We've only seen boats in books but Abram has a keen ability to point out any boat he sees: tugboat, sailboat, oceanliner, etc. He doesn't know the right names but he understands they are all boats.
-hot: Abram learned that some foods are hot and that the oven is always hot. Unfortunately he did not pick up the fact that not everything is hot. So all day we hear how 'its hot' when referring to the general tempterture when it's 40 degrees, that his cottage cheese/applesuace, etc. is hot. This is also his only phrase as he throws in 'its' when saying something is hot.
-banana: Abram has developed a fetish for bananas and has been regularly eating 1-2 whole bananas a day this week.
-bubbles: One night during his bath a few bubbles were made from his soap. From this point on for the rest of the bath all he could say was bubbles, bubbles, bubbles. Very cute so I had to get him his first bubble bath which was a huge hit.
-baby (bebe): This is a very important word for Abram to learn as he goes to school with a lot of girls and they are always taking care of 'their babies' and Abram tries to help out, usually unwanted help. So a few weeks ago I bought him a baby and dressed him in Abram's newborn outfit and he loves and hugs and cuddles the baby, until he's done at which point he promptly dismisses the baby to the floor.
This is also an important word for Abram to learn because he's going to be a big brother in April! We are excited to announce we're adding onto our little family. I think Abram will make a great big brother - as long as he treats the new baby gentler than he currently treats our cats - but hey, we've got 5 months to get there.
Abram showing off his creative skills in turning just about anything into a hat.
Another creative hat moment during reading time with baby. This last week Abram also decided he loves books now that he can't be outside as much. It's so nice to be able to sit and read with Abram. He still doesn't get the concept of reading all the words and flipping pages in order but I think we'll get there.
Here we are a few moments later, happy as a clam. Have a great week!
I LOVE THE TANTRUM PIC! And all of his hats! SO excited to meet the next one!
