This last month has been a blast. One of my your new favorite things is quiet and loud. You love it when Mommy whispers and is quiet. You also love to yell. I mean love to yell. Now when you are in another room then us and want us to come and see you. You yell, " Mommy come", wait a few seconds and yell is again " Mommy come". Your dad is trying to teach you to say "Mommy come here", trying to differentiate calling Emma from calling Mommy.
Speaking of calling Emma, you also like to call her. You are both learning from each other. You know that Emma likes cheese and meat. So when you call her to come you have chesse or meat or a ball. You have been doing it enough that she is coming when you call her. Especially when you are at the table.
My favorite time you are "loud" is when you call your dad. If you wnat him to come upstairs. You kind of bend over because you must think that helps to project your voice. And yell "Darryl come" at the top of the stairs. "Dar-ryl" Dad does always come and brings you milk.
You still love bugs. You know all different kinds of them now. Dragonflys, bumblebees, spiders and your favorite, ladybugs. We had to teach you the word die, when a fly died after you touched it too much. Now everytime we walk past the window you point out bug died.
You also love diggers and motorcycles. When you drive around you chatter away. All the time actually you chatter away. Anoddder digger, anodder momocycle. Although you have stopped calling fire trucks, wee wee and actually calling them fire trucks. Wee, wee was the word for all emergency vechiles, but now you are able to differeniate and call them all their proper names.
You have excellent speech. If there is a word or phrase we want you to learn, we just tell you the word and usually by the end of the day you have learned it. The other day you were wearing a Canada shirt. We asked you to say Canada, and you said "Mommy try it" everytime we asked you. But after an hour, you just came out with "Can-a-da". One of the funny parts of your speech is how you often take one word and break it into to. For example the word macaroni. You take such a pause between the mac sylable and the roni sylable, it seems like two words, mac........a.......roni.
This month you also spent alot of time with Grandma and Pop. One night Grandma put you to bed and in the morning when you woke up you called for her in bed. It's great that you are so comfortable with your grandparents. When ever Emma barks that someone is at the front door, you call Grandma and run towards the door to look for her. Pop brought over his motorcycle the other day and you talked about it all day the day after. Oma, Opa, Lexie and Karen were also here this month. You love playing with your aunts. It's great how aunts are so fun. Auntie Karen was always a fun aunt for me too.
Last thing I wanted to tell you about this month is how much you are enjoying hockey. Every time we turn it on you yell "Scored". Over and over again. You yell it with such enthusiasm. Once you yelled it and right after they did score. It was like you inspired them.
One of my favorite moments of this past month was you had fallen and hurt your hand. You started to cry and walk over to me. A scooped you up in my arms and snuggled. Mommy kiss it, you asked. I kissed your hand and almost instantly you felt better. One of the greatest things about being a mom is having incredibly healing powers, just from my kisses.
I love being your mom,thanks for giving my pride and super powers.
Love mommy
