Mr. Curious
Within the last few weeks, Logan has begun to point & "ask" about objects around the house. His "asking" consists of a "Huh" or "Uh". So for the last month or more, we've been walking around the house pointing at things. He'll often run around by himself, pointing at the closet door, the carpet, the diaper bag, the front door & whatever else is around to learn about.

He clearly knows that Daddy uses the front door to leave for work. At night, he'll stand at the door with his finger in the crack of the door jam, looking back at me with the "question look". It's cute, but sad at the same time. Bill was a little bummed what I told him about this.

He points to pictures of cats, ducks, dogs, cows & really knows his animals. He knows where our belly buttons are & he knows facial features on his toys (but not us or himself). He also knows where his "stinky feet" are. When I'm changing his diaper, he'll grab his feet to smell & makes the "stinky face", wrinkled nose & big funny smile.

Logan has also been repeating "words" for objects. Again, these are mostly grunts or moans of some type. We ask him what cows say & he'll "MMmmmmm". We ask him about ducks & he says "ack ack". He says "Da" for Buddha & "Aa" for cat.

He also knows specific toys. When we ask him to get Micky Mouse, his cow, certain balls, or books, he knows exactly what we're talking about.

He's a smart little kiddo. I'm really going to have to make a conscious effort to expand my vocabulary from "Be careful", "don't feed Buddha" & "stop running with crackers in your mouth".

It's so much fun watching them learn things and see them really understanding what things are!

Way to go Logan!

YAY Logan!!!

I'm still waiting for Kira to say "No!" like I do. She already mimics my "uh uh!" and usually does it when she points at something she's not allowed to play with or touch. Lately this hasn't been a deterrant though and will play with and/or touch EVERYTHING she knows she's not allowed to. Grrr.
