Child Development

Family Fun, Fatherhood, Isaac Update, Lillian's Latest

I don’t know when different language skills are supposed to develop, but I”m constantly amazed by my son. Lately he’s been using similes.

» He bit the front leg off an animal cracker and said, “It’s like a drill.”
» I blew a raspberry on his belly and he said, “It’s like a lawnmower.”
» He crumpled his napkin and said, “It’s like a shovel.”

Okay, I don’t know what that last one meant, but 2 out of 3 is pretty good for a 25 month old.

Lillian has started waving and clapping. She says something like “Hi Da Da.” Which sounds a lot like “Bye Da Da.” So that’s what she does every time I leave the house and every time I come home.

She’s also finally over her “I only love mommy” phase, so I get to play with her a lot more now.

    Hey Doug: I would definately say she got over the “I only love mommy” phase. Looked like a total Daddy’s girl to me!! What a beautiful little girl. Isaac is equally handsome…..and both are a testament to both you and Gina’s parenting skills. I am so glad that Brigid and I got to meet your family, and know that they will never lack love. I know you are blessed, and when you get that degree, you’ll have some doors open for you. I’m enjoying some of your “blogs” and it’s good to see parenthood……although the occasional poopy diapers, you have some divine moments of watching them grow. You reap what you sow, and you have sown well. Love, Jim and Brigid
