Winter update

Evan is now 20 months old. He is getting better at walking, but still not fluent yet. He can finally pull himself up to a standing position on furniture now. Better late than never, right?!

Here he is with his favorite pillow from the living room. He likes to put it on his lap and lay his head on it. I'm not sure why he doesn't actually lay his body down instead.

Here Evan is doing his lastest funny thing. He thinks it is hilarious to stand and let his legs slip into the splits position. He giggles the whole time, until he gets himself into an uncomfortable position and then begins to whine and cry. He was even doing this today in the pool at the Shoreview Community Center. Anything for a good laugh!!!

Evan is still not talking much. Well, he talks jibberish all the time, but doesn't say many words. He tries to repeat words that I ask him to say, but they don't sound anything like mine. He can say : "Daddy", "baby" (sounds like day-dee), sometimes he can say "kitty," and he can always say "Jake" (a boy at his daycare). On January 30, he said "Mama" for the first time on demand, but hasn't said it since :( I'm anxious for him to start speaking!! He uses sign language to tell us "more," "eat," "all done," and the other day he signed "help" at daycare. I haven't seen him do that one yet. It is so much fun to see him develop into a little person!
