Language explosion

All of a sudden, Avram's language is exploding. For quite a while, he has had this little language of his own. He walks around the house babbling away -gebee, bebbe, hebedebee, goobybabby, goojee... and so on. He has used some words consistantly - mama, dada, brahber (brother), bahbah (bottle), ball, kitty. In the last 3 days, he has suddenly added picaboo, oh-oh, bahbee (pacifier), doggy, hi, more and cheese. (hee hee) He gets this big toothy grin when he matches the right word for the moment - he is so proud of himself.

He really is still a wild little guy. For some reason, he can not eat anything messy without completely smearing it in his hair. He literally massages whatever it is into his face and scalp. Whenever he eats pasta sauce - his whole face is stained an orangy red for the rest of the day and his hair slowly turns stiffer and stiffer after eating yogurt. He can barely sit still for a second - he is always going and going. One positive note, is that he has suddenly become slightly more cuddly. He is usually way too busy to cuddle. The last few days he has curled up on my lap at least twice a day for at least 5 minutes. Yes, it is still only 5 minutes but that is lightyears compared to his usual. So I will cherish those moments and steal all the kisses I can on those pudgy cheeks!

I was overwhelmed with happiness to see you guys in Milwaukee. Avram is such a stinker cutie puff. Him and Kade are complete opposites :)and I love them both equally for different reasons! Avram is getting so big and he's quite a little babbler. I also can not believe how good he uses silverware already; although he still likes to use his hair as a napkin (ha ha). Kade is such a little jibber jaws as usual :). He has such a broad vocabulary for a little man! My friend got a kick out of him. She thinks he has some great stories! Well Thanks again for meeting us and for lunch. Fue Increible a ver mi tia favorita again. Te amo!

Luke and Christy are so excited for the boys to stay at our house while your enjoying a fabulous vacation to Italy. But they really want to experience the thrill of Avram spreading spaghetti sauce in his hair and maybe stringing a couple of angel hair noodles from ear to ear. Sounds like a lot of fun and laughter too.
Tell Kade we have a cool little car for him to drive around outside. Can't wait to see ya. Lots of Love,
Aunt Wendy and family
