This post is just to remind you that we're still here and we're still obsessed our little Pauliewog.
At 15.5 months, Paul is definitely a toddler now. He has all his teeth except his 2 year molars. He's walking, running, climbing, opening, braking, laughing, screaming (*shudder* he just started this one), and talking!
He almost talks as much as a girl! His pediatrician said he's an early talker for a boy. Beside all the English-sounding babble, here are some real words in Paul's current vocabulary (since I know you're all dying to know) :
Mama
Dada
Up
No
Nummy
Ersss (yes)
Push
Bar (he's so obsessed with Larabars that he's learned to say this word perfectly with the correct "R" sound and all)
Door (also means "open", again, with a perfect "R")
Chair
Gar (car)
Guck ( 3 meanings: it could be a truck, that he or something is stuck, or it's also used as "yuck")
Beya-ba (belly button)
Beday (body)
baba (bubble)
Hi / bye (all the time to anyone and anything very loudly!)
More
Mook (milk)
Moosh (juice)
Nack (snack)
Bub (poop)
Uh-oh
Awtttt (hot)
Eye
Neck
Ay ay (light)
Rice
Me (we're hoping this means "please"...)
Mess (he loves to make them)
Bush
Bird
Guy (sky or airplane)
Dore (store)
Go go
Shoe
Gock (sock or clock)
Bik (bike)
Wahw (wall)
Bahw (ball or Paul)
Bock (block or tower)
Gaing (train? or again?)
Book
Wow!
Meh (Cat "mew")
Woof Woof
Moo (cow)
Buh-buh (chicken)
Ooo (owl)
Oo-aah -eeh (monkey)
Bey (pray)
Jich (church)
Jishish (Jesus)
Buck (bug)
Mana (banana)
Rash (trash)
Wee-oh (wheel)
A-wee (away - as in cleaning up)
Who will ever read that huge list up there? Me! So I'm keeping it in my blog.
Paul is as happy and confident as he appears in this photo. He owns the world and what a fun and silly place it is!
Sunday best. What a charmer!
Paul was a raccoon for Halloween. (Thanks, mom, for the costume!)
What's the opposite of claustrophobic? Because that's what Paul is. I always find him wedged in the smallest crevasses of the apartment.
Yep. He got in there all on his own.
Another favorite pastime of his is stacking things. Anything!
He sneaked those out of the fridge when my back was turned and created a condiment tower.
(I helped with this book tower.)
Ready for the Christmas snow! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!
I write as if I have a huge blog following or something. Ha!
