Recently Cole's favorite activity have been taking the huge container of these magnetic letters and shapes and dumping them all over the floor. For quite some time he called every letter "C". A few days ago he started recognizing the letter "O" on Brien's shirt.
Today he had a sudden break through. The letters were, as usual, all over the living room floor. He picked up the letter "S" and said "shhhh". Hmmm, maybe he knows more than we think. I sat down on the floor with him and he was able to put all the "O's" in one bowl and the "S's" in another and call them by name. As the day went on, we discovered that he also knew C, Y, B, and Q by name and could find them in a pile of letters on the floor.
His language is exploding. He can say the name of most animals, and can say a few phrases like "I did it" and "Mama sit". He also responds with "I'm fine" if you ask him how he's doing. Brien and I are totally amazed at how much he knows and now how much he can say!
We converted his crib to a toddler bed. He LOVES it! He was so excited to go to bed last night and slept all the way until 7:15 this morning. He stayed in his bed and read some books until I came and got him. He didn't even try to get down.
Our fingers are crossed that he keeps this up and that naps go just as smoothly.
