Brain Power!

It’s amazing how one day you look at your kid and say, “where the heck did you learn that?  You weren’t able to do it yesterday!”  They learn sooo much and so fast!  Remy has been saying a few words for a little while now – mamma, dada, juice, bye-bye, yes, etc.  Lately it seems like he’s getting more clear and he’s picking up on more words.  Time to really start watching my mouth around him!  And I suppose I should stop telling the dogs to “shut up”!  I wouldn't want him telling me to shut up...  

He’s also trying to mimic animal sounds.  The first one he learned was the monkey – he’s been doing that for a while.  This weekend I got him to moo and he tries his darnedest to say oink, oink, oink.  His version is pretty darn cute.   

He has also picked up a little bit of sign language.  His auntie/daycare lady was doing it with her little one so he was learning it there and we started it at home as well.  He knows how to say please and does it constantly (every time he wants something) – he’s not very good on thank you yet but I can squeeze it out of him sometimes.  We’re still working on “more” and “all done” – doesn’t seem like he’s picking up on those.  Wonder what else I should teach him….  All this learning is so fun to watch. :)

Can't end a post without a picture!
