Gus became increasingly verbal this month. It seems like he's constantly mimicking words that we say or that he hears in a song or somewhere else. And he's started repeating phrases too. So funny to get a little more insight on what's going on in that head of his. He's so observant, and I've learned that if he says there's a heart, there is one around, I just haven't noticed it yet. Then there are the times when I can't figure out what made him think of something--like in the middle of Ikea when he told me "Kona's a good dog."
This month he's been into assigning ownership of anything he sees: Mama shirt, daddy pants, Gus shoes, etc.
We got Adam a new bike and an iBert for Gus to go riding with him. When they get back from a ride, it's all Gus can talk about: Gus helmet! Daddy helmet! Daddy bike! Cycle! (repeat).
He also calls his new tricycle from Grammy and Papa a "cycle." That's a big hit too, and he often asks for "Walk?! Cycle?!"
He continues to be into his colors, and he gets them right more often now. I can't decide if he really loves yellow, or if he just likes saying it.
Now that it's summer he's had some opportunities to participate in pool and water play--mostly he gives me this look like "why would I do that?" But he occasionally warms up after a while and hops in.
Suddenly he seems so very boyish and not really baby any more at all.
