this is just so cool!

...watching my little person become, well, a person. I'm just surprised over and over at how many things he's able to make sense of, you know? In the last few days, he's developed a strong preference in reading material. The Wheels on the Bus board book was a gift from his Aunt Jen and Uncle Pat for Christmas, and after I read (sang) it to him this past week, he's been enamored with it. He manages to find it, no matter where I put it, and bring it to me, saying what seems to be his attempt at "round and round." He knows that a dog says, "woof, woof". And, just now, he got a potato out of the bag I keep in the "pantry" (which is actually just a cubby on my kitchen desk), came and took my hand, and led me to the silverware drawer to get a fork so that he could eat his (still-raw) potato. And, of course, I couldn't resist just baking it up for him in the microwave right then. He ate the whole thing, saying "tado" over and over again.
