Words, Hats, & Purses

Vince is learning & learning… he observes what we do and tries to do it. He is also a little parrot too… starting to repeat words (note to self, use only good language!). Only a few words stick and are added to his list of words he can say. But sometimes he surprises us and see’s something and just spits it out! He is really trying to put his sounds together. I have been meaning to jot down the words he can say… so I’ll try now… (dada, Leila [said ola], baba [I consider this a word], hello [said hewo], hi [he says to everyone], bye, eye, eyebrow [minus the r], hot, hat, baby – and probably a few more I can’t think of).. glad I went through that…

In the mornings he usually watches a little sesame street while I get ready for work. The one we have been watching lately has a contest to see who can wear more hats, Elmo or Rosita. I noticed last time we watched it that Vince went to get one of David’s hats and put it on. So this time I put a few hats at his feet while he was watching and he kept trying them on while watching…

Also lately when it’s time to go somewhere and I get my purse, Vince gets one too… I consider these blackmail pictures when he is older J. Well maybe not, but so far I have caught him with two different poses. I know he is only doing what I do, but it’s still quite funny and cute. My mom and I let him take one to Walmart one time!

Anyways, that’s the latest and greatest. He is also doing wonderful in his 3rd week at school… oh yeah… he can say school now too [said scoo]. He doesn’t cry when I drop him off. He eats everything they put in front of him (however, we do get reports of him leaving his veggies alone… ugggh). He does really well during nap time… just goes to his cot and sleeps for a couple hours. When I pick him up I stand back and watch him play until he sees me. So school is a big success. He goes mostly 4 days a week but this week he’s only going 3 since he was sick one. We are all so happy that this is working.
