It's amazing how quickly babies absorb stuff. It turns out he is saying abuelita...sounds like abatita. He was definitely using this word a lot today...or maybe it's just that we can now recognize it in the stream of gibberish.
He has also learned something new that took us by surprise. Among his birthday gifts he received this lovely train from Pippi and, honestly, loved taking it apart and throwing (as hard as possible) the pieces all over the house. So...we hid it.
Everyday he finds it tucked next to the couch and grabs his favorites, the red pieces, and tosses them all over the place and everyday we pick them up and hide them again. Today he came home and went into the living room while we where in the kitchen. Daniel thought it was way too quiet, though we could hear him humming softly to himself. We found him, totally focused (just like his dad) in this little corner trying to stack the pieces on the pegs. It didn't look this good, but he got a bunch on! WOW! Which happens to be another favorite new word.
In the morning I took pictures as we got ready to leave the house. You might notice new shoes on his feet, which his oma bought for him and we, mistakenly, thought they didn't fit. It turns out they do! He was just scrunching up his toes when we tried them on. This is great news for us. We are set with shoes for a while, we hope!
Can you see what he has in his hand? A tomato! He grabbed it and ran off with it. His favorite thing to do this summer was pick the ripe cherry tomatoes and squeeze his hand until he had mashed them. Guess how this situation ended?
