Almost 1 1/2 years old



Noah will be 1.5 years old tomorrow. at this time his vocabulary is increasing and he's surprising us every day. Among the things he's doing now, he can take off his socks, he brushes, (with a "Sonicare") he flosses, drinks out of a regular cup, with ocasional spills but hey even I do that some times. The words he's mentoned lately: Carne (meat) agua, mama, dadda, abuelito/a, uncle, auntie, Trey (his cousin), Dayton (his cousin), hamburger, Jello, apple sauce, thank you, I love you, Cherry, candy, leche, bena (Zapoteco for Grandpa/old man), Truck, Nena , up, no, help, chocolate, cookie, apple, lemon, ball, basket ball airplane, bug, ema (neighbor's dog's name), cat, All these words he's saying consistently but he's immitating many others and tries to say what we are saying. He has many signs for things he can't yet pronounce, such as, Garage door closing he puts his two fists together as if he was clapping with them. When he wants his music he starts the signs that go with itsy bitsy spider. He touches his head to ask for a hat, his grandpa plays the clarinette, when he wants to see it or hears it he blows on his index finger. He's a little clown he likes attention and if someone is not paying attention he will get on your face and call your name (or what ever he wants to call you) in my case "dadda" if i am still not looking at him he will grab my head and make me give him eye contact. He will fall or do funny stuff to get attention. He lately came up with walking like an old man and walks around with his back half bent to make momma laugh. He's got his 1 1/2year appointment with the doctor. We will be posting the results as soon as we can know. Noah has been swimming and loves the water, which felt good during these hot days which were upwards of the 105 degrees in many places. We have been eating outdoors because it is too hot to be in the kitchen. We will be posting more. Shortly.

Getting better

We have been ok but busy, I've been sick for a little over a week but luckily Noah is not. Today we had a delicious dinner that Cindy made. It was DELICIOSA!, She made lamb on her Mom's recipe. It was so tender. I'm taking some for lunch tomorrow. Well as time goes, we are hoping weather gets better so we can go back to the market to get fresh fruit. Also so we can go to the Aquarium and the Zoo, his auntie gave him a pass to the Zoo/Aquarium. Here is a recent picture:

Arrrgh!!
