Ready for the "look what my kid can do" list?
- He signs: more, milk, dad, finished/all done, eat/food, book, shoes, socks, orange, ball, thank you. And is getting good imitating me on many others
- He says: dad (da or dadada), mom (mama), woof/ruff
- He blows kisses
- He no longer drinks from a bottle
- He LOVES books
- He has 6 teeth. Four on top and two on bottom.
- Is a great night sleeper, though he is asserting his will power when it comes to naps, both in frequency and duration.
- Not a fan of showers. Well that's an understatement, he HATES showers.
- He is a boy through and though.
- He loves blankies, like me.
- He is still very vocal and has recently found he has the ability to squeal. This past Sunday during sacrament meeting, when everyone was quiet he let out a scream. Yes, I have the noisy kid...but most of the time they're happy noises.
- When he gets tired he does a perfect downward dog, flat feet and all.
- Overall he is a good eater though we struggle with veggies still. grrrrr.
- He is friendly
- He loves his family (immediate and extended)
- I love holding him. He has recently started to be a little clingy which I don't mind most of the time. He has never been a cuddler but lately he has provided me with many a snuggle, hug, and kiss.
- He is such a happy smiley boy
Playing with John. He loves to be thrown high.
No, I did not pose this picture. You can often find him surrounded by books
the squeal
being silly
You are my I love you

I am your parent you are my child
I am your quiet place, you are my wild
I am your calm face, you are my giggle
I am your wait, you are my wiggle
I am your audience, you are my clown
I am your London Bridge, you are my falling down
I am your Carrot Sticks, you are my licorice
I am your dandelion, you are my first wish
I am your water wings, you are my deep
I am your open arms, you are my running leap
I am your way home, you are my new path
I am your dry towel, you are my wet bath
I am your dinner you are my chocolate cake
I am your bedtime, you are my wide awake
I am your finish line, you are my race
I am your praying hands, you are my saving grace
I am your favourite book, you are my new lines
I am your nightlight, you are my sunshine
I am your lullaby, you are my peek-a-boo
I am your kiss goodnight, you are my I love you
(Yes, Kevin, I cry every time I read it)

Aw, I really love that poem. Thanks, I'm gonna steal it... :)
And I think Connor will join in the chorus with Cohen in not too long. He is becoming quite vocal himself.
Love your little boy!!
