"Cat!"

He has been saying "cat" since mid-March, but in the past month we finally got pictures of his game of chasing down the cats, pointing at them, and exclaiming "CAT!" in a happy loud voice. He seems proud of himself to be able to name things, and cats are among his very favorite things.

hi!

Since it has been a while since the last post, here's a smile to tide us over until the next update. This has been a busy time, and the kidlet has been adding more words and signs by the day.

Subway

This kid has been riding the subway since he was three or four months old (though this may be the first photograph of it). Today he was climbing my shoulder to peer at the subway map, so he may grow up knowing the system well enough to help me with directions. In the mean time, his favorite activities are looking at the lights and signs, and flirting with fellow passengers.

Spending a little more time with Grandma and Grandpa before it's time to wave goodbye:

Dancing

Ever since our friends the Abbotts shared Gaelic Storm's The Beggarman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RkCQKpyllU) as a great song for dancing around with their daughter, we've adopted it as a regular part of our day too. The sprout recognizes it as soon as I put it on, and he gets very excited. Grandpa Scott also gets really into the silly dancing, and we all sing and jump around. :)
