Peas Please!

Notice that Avery wasn't so interested in the peas on his plate -- he only wanted the ones from the serving bowl.






We recently noticed that Avery sometimes sticks his tongue out a little when he is concentrating on something -- like on blocks -- just like his Mom:



Sometimes Avery really likes to "help" to organize things. For example, he decided that his juice boxes needed to be moved from the big table in the kitchen, to his little Wizard of Oz table, to inside his potty, and back again to the big table. This occupied him for probably an hour:






Our pediatrician suggested we keep a list of words that Avery says to see where his vocabulary is at for when he comes in for his 2nd birthday appointment in June.
Avery still just babbles a lot, but he is definitely saying words and some phrases including:
"Where is he?" (when he is playing peek-a-boo or is hiding)
"What is it?"
"It's stuck!"
"Oh wow!"
"Oh shit" :(
"apple"
"Mama"
"nana" (banana)
"No"
"Eah" (Yeah without the "y" sound)
"Ball"
"Duck"
"Yay!"

I think it's pretty important that he's already learned "apple," "banana," and "shit." Sounds pretty well-rounded to me.

You definitely need to be recording his vocab and other development--I know you do on the blog, but 20 years from now, will you remember what he weighed or when he said what words-- maybe an old fashioned baby book is a good idea, (if they have them any more!)

Of course we have an "old fashioned" baby book! It is a great record of his development!

Things always look better in a bowl! :)

I suppose he knows that's where juice eventually ends up? (the potty)
