Back Rub

Tyler just did something so adorable. You can tell that he pays attention to everything. He has been doing alot of imitating and I will write more about it over the holidays when I have a little time, but since it just happened I decided I would blog it before I forgot about it. We were on the bed and Tyler got behind me and started rubbing and patting my back, just like what we do to him. I said thank you and he flashed his adorable smile and continued a couple more times. So cute!

Words

Tyler is definitely trying to talk more! He seems to say a lot but it is like a foreign language and you have to try and decifer what he is saying. Some sounds and words you can tell...like you can definitely understand dada. He says dada to lots of things, but he says it to Steve too and knows Steve is dada. He says mama occasionally, but I think it is easier for him to say the d-sound. We think he is also saying down, all gone, hello, dog, and it does not come out clear but I am pretty sure I can hear good morning sometimes when I say good morning.

He really likes to talk on the phone now. He was interested in playing with it before and now he like to not only play with it but talk on it too. He has a play cell phone that he talks on and he likes to talk on real phones as well. This weekend he found a phone at my parent's house, picked it up, and just started talking on it. It was not cordless so he could not walk away with it. Because of this he was just walking back and forth with the phone to his ear talking away (it was upside-down). It was hillarious! He talked for several minutes...just dadadada and dadadadada...Such a cutie!
