Milestones

While I'm thinking about it, I want to document what Baz is up to at the 2 year mark. He's easily speaking in 2,3, and 4 word phrases. He's always pointing to things (i.e. a Bandaid on his finger or tools, etc) and saying "mommy did it" or "Pap Pap did it". He's such a happy guy that sometimes whatever he says strikes him as funny and he says "funny" and laughs.

He's been able to count as high as 8 on several occasions and can identify numbers 1 and 6 (thanks to Thomas!). He knows a bunch of shapes and can easily place the perfection pieces in the appropriate slots. He's known several colors for a while now- red, pink, black, purple. He still mixes up green and blue, but so did Anya so this must be fairly common. He loves identifying things, such as animals and trucks. After reading his books, he'll seek out cars, trucks, trains, animals, etc everywhere.

Singing is his new fave....he always asks me to sing to him before bed and often wants specific songs. If I start a song he doesn't want, he'll say "no" until I get to the song he does want. My faves are "Hush little baby" and "do-Re-Mi" because he joins in with me. Not only does he get the words right, but he's pretty close to hitting the notes too!

His manual dexterity seems to be pretty strong, too...he picks up most toys and after playing for a short time, figures out how to do it and goes to town.
