Jesse and I are FINALLY on the upside of things here in Kansas and getting into our own groove. I've got the hang of this single mom stuff now too.
We webcam all the time with Garret and every time Garret is amazed at all the new things Jesse is doing. I guess I don,t realize how much is new since I'm with him all the time. His speech is just exploding right now. Here is what Jesse can clearly say now: no, cracker, nite nite, wet, knees, ok, boat, sit, stay, berry, cake, cow, dog, puppy, bye, hi, book, diaper, boobie (yes, that's spelled right!), bra, shoe, boo boo, booty, hair, nose, eyes, mouth, juice, eat, more, all gone, cow, horse, woof, cat, hot, cold, car, bubble, outside, inside, cheese, truck, tractor, fly (as in the insect), apple, pants, shirt, bird, fish, poop, pee pee, potty, help, phone, hot dog, cake, cookie. Here is what he thinks he's saying or has another word for: socks, downstairs, teeth, back (as in put away), bull dozer, buckle, monkey, George (as in the Curious one), air plane, helicopter, motorcycle, slide, balloon, flower, toes, foot, milk, light, dinosaur, snack. Wow, right?! It's no wonder I'm so exhausted at night, my full time job is now translating!
Jesse is quite an outdoors man and "helps" me in our garden and picking up dog poop. He is more aware of the dogs now too, which they don't seem to care for actually...but they sure like him when he's eating though. His big obsessions right now are cars, dinosaurs, and books. I don't put cartoons on much, but he sure loves to watch anything with singing and dancing...I can usually count on him to watch some of So You Think You Can Dance with me the next day.
I'm catching up on things, look for more pictures and a few videos by the end of the week hopefully!
