His main developments have been vocabulary, comprehension and memory. He has many two syllable words and phrases: "all done," "night night," up please," "off please," "help please" and one "I don't know." Sometimes he strings things together for emphasis, like "night-night all done" when he really wants to be put in his bed; or "all done bye-bye" when he is really tired of his car seat.
He gets very frustrated when we cannot understand him. When we were in Johnson City this weekend he suddenly started saying "shoe, shoe, NO NO" and trying to take one shoe off. I put it back on and he cried "shoe, shoe, NO NO NO NO." I eventually found that he had stepped on a huge thorn that went through the bottom of his Crocs and poked out about 1/8" out of the sole (and into his foot.) So, in retrospect, what he said made complete sense.
The cutest things are words he can't quite say yet:
- Ice weem = ice cream
- Hopter = helicopter (or, sometimes, a plane)
- Pafier = pacifier
He has the location of every fake owl in south Texas memorized and will say "hoot-hoot" or "owl" when brought within 30 feet (even if he can't see the owl.)
His other fixation is buses, like his friend Daniel in Colorado when he was Sean's age. A bus, or anything that looks vaguely like a bus, elicits: "bus bus bus bus bus bus bus," Most times it is a bus that he some how spots (or senses) before we can ever see it. Scary.
Grandma Pasta and I have taken to the bad habit of showing him video of Elmo, owls, buses, hopters, etc. on YouTube. He now associates LCD monitors with Elmo. On the plus side, you find videos like school bus racing!
