Babyum decides to talk... sort of

Sweet little Babyum (ok, sometimes not so sweet, actually quite screamy... anyway) has been "talking" more lately. Along with counting 1-10: un, doo, nee, fo, ive (in a higher pitched voice), ick, be ben, aye, ine, en (also higher pitched), he says teeny tiny, toot toot, BOOM!, and has his own version of square, triangle, circle, and I don't know, a total of 25 words now. It seems he's just picking it up so fast finally. He also looked at me the other day and signed table while looking at the little airport on his train table. It only has 2 sides and a top, so it does look like a table. The best part was what came after. It's got the H in a circle on top, the helipad sign. He looks at it and says "heh heh", turns a little and says "ih ih". Yes, turn the H on it's side and it's an I. Spacial reasoning +1! I'm getting glimpses of how he thinks.

Doodlebug had her dance recital last night. She was amazing! So adorable and had a blast watching all the other dancers. I think we'll be doing this for a long time. She is taking tap and ballet in the fall, and maybe acro if she's old enough. Oh, and she moved to #6 on the waiting list for the school we want to send her to!! It's a school for the arts, and all kids (k-6) do dance. In 3rd grade they get to pick 2 out of band, orchestra, dance, visual arts... Cool, right?
