Happy 19 month birthday Naylor!

Well, it was 2 days ago, but still... Happy Birthday sweet boy! Boy has he grown up over the past month. It seems like all of a sudden things are clicking along and you can see him "getting it". I was beginning to think he'd never talk and now all of a sudden he's consistently saying several things including:

• Da-da / Daddy
• Dog and will growl
• Cow and will moo
• Cat, but doesn't meow
• Lion and will roar
• Truck
• Car
• I'm 99% positive he said tractor this week
• Bye and will wave
• Hello when he's talking on the phone, everything is a phone these days!

He's also doing double time on his climbing these days! And, he's getting taller as he can put things up on the counter now and can reach the door knobs, but not tall enough to grab them to open yet. He still loves to play around Lalon and can always make her laugh - she really lights up when he's around (most of the time, as long as he isn't hitting her)!

Other tricks of his these days:

• climbing, lots!
• pointing out body parts, especially tongue, nose and belly button
• LOVES to dance
• likes to tickle you
• likes to do "this little piggy"
• likes to sing songs and will do the hand motions to itsy, bitsy spider
• likes to sit and read books
