Mr. Talker Man!

Time is flying by! I can't believe Riley is almost 19 months old. He is really working hard on forming words. Here are some of the words he can say:

wa-wa (water)
door
flag
Teeve (Steve the cat)
Ju (juice)
dada
daddy
mama
mommy
dog
moon

I felt so bad for him one day when he pinched his thumb in our closet door. (Note that he loves the word door, so he has to play with any door he can) Anyways, after he pinched it he immediately started crying and repeatedly saying "door, door, door door" It was like he knew the door had done something to him but he just didn't know the words to tell me what happened.

He also has an unknown word. "ba-bwee". We aren't quite sure what he is trying to say with that one. Hopefully we will find out. I've noticed this week that he "talks" to anyone non-stop in his own little gibberish language. It's positively adorable. He has also found out how fun it is to roll cars on the floor, play with stuffed animals and throw toys!

My picky eater has disappeared too. He eats everything! Especially chicken nuggets and fruit. (Blueberries, dried cherries, mandarin oranges, apples and grapes are the fave) There are times when he has eaten dinner and we will come home only for him to go straight to the refrigerator and pulls out a yogurt cup. He still enjoys raisins and pancakes. I think he is going to end up like me and just eat and eat and burn off the calories quickly. As of now he is in the 50th percentile for weight and 98th for height. My baby is getting so big!
