Miriam has started spoon training with rice cereal. She started that last week on Friday after her 4 month check-up. Today she got to try green beans and it seemed like she liked them.
David's really starting to say more words. He still doesn't use simple sentences, but he's trying to say a lot more things. He currently says: apple, ball, bowl (for bowling), Dad, Mom, Miriam ("myum"), bed, eyes, nose, head, hat, elbow, shoes, socks, cheese, please, water, hotdog ("hot-go"), go, David ("Day-dee"), Buzz (Lightyear from Toy Story), Pooh (Whinnie the Pooh), bath, more, eat, mall, yes, no, pants, and Jess (the youth pastor's wife nextdoor). When he wants to read "Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb" he says "Dum" (in the book it goes dum, ditty, dum a lot). When he wants to read "Hop on Pop" he says "pop-pop-pop". When he wants to read a new favorite, "Just Like Daddy", he says "Dad". He knows almost his entire alphabet. He can even read the uppercase letters, so we're starting to work on lowercase letters now. I think he's going to be a good reader.
