I've been bad about writing down all the new things Mikey is doing or interested in, so I'm going to copy my sister Mary and make a list. I hope this doesn't bore you. I spend all day with a 14- month-old so I get excited about the little stuff.
Michael loves.... The vacuum (va-va) Lately its been his first word when he wakes up.
Michael also loves anything with a plug, which drives Josh crazy because Mikey also likes to put them in his mouth and then wants to plug them back into the wall. The phone chargers have been confiscated for the time being.
Michael has been saying Grover for a while (why him I'm not sure), But he finally started saying Elmo or "Mo" as he calls him.
Michael as many of you know is nicknamed Mikey Bear. I also call him many variations of this including Honey Bear, Barry Bearenstein (His Jewish alter-ego), and when Josh and I talk about him - "the bear". As in "The bear is asleep" or "The bear just pulled all your socks out of the drawer".
Michael loves phones and anything resembling it gets put up to his ear (remote controls, calculators, toys with buttons etc.) He can say phone really clearly. Yesterday he somehow voice activated the number buttons on my phone even though the phone was locked. Can someone tell me how to make it stop so don't hear "six-two-three!"
Michael can do a spot-on impression of Josh wagging his finger and saying "no-no."
The only food word Mikey can say is banana (nana) so when he's hungry thats what he asks for.
Anything up high that he wants really bad is "dee."
I think its his goal in life to find someone who will let him bite their toes. Amy's kids didn't really appreciate it the other day when we were over there.
Michael is really good about letting me brush his teeth, even his back teeth (he's starting to get molars).
That kid can
run!
