LM is growing into quite an independent little guy.
He has learned to use connecting words now. It's amazing how quickly he picks up on these skills. He went from "mama, feed kitty" to "mama, i feed the kitty" seemingly overnight. He loves to take care of his animals - he will bring me the dog's food bowl and say "let feed the doggie" and then insist on carrying the bowl to the proper location and putting it back into the holder for the dog. The cat's food requires a little more assistance as he can't reach her bowl, but he will carry her food to the bowl and then dump it out of the scoop into the bowl. He's so proud of his accomplishment.
One of my favorite things is when he "fires" up his toy grill and "cooks" for us. He concentrates so hard on his task and proudly presents you with the plastic food once it's finished. So precious!
He's gotten quite adept at playing with his shape sorter. He will name the colors and shapes as he picks up each piece to sort.
Watching him walk down the stairs is a lot of fun. He immediately goes to the railing and uses it to go down. He's starting to use it for upward treks as well, but he is more unsure of this direction, and often asks for someone to hold his hand when he feels unsteady.
When did he grow up so much?
