possessive adjective & a number

"my water."  "two cups."

proceeding apace

more walking

more and more walking. it seems to be becoming his default. we will miss the crawling.

tonight he picked up a book and walked around looking for grandma L saying "gapa? book."

nearly walking

still experimenting with walking! still doing it in fits and starts.

in other news, he can say "water" and "book" and he enjoys spelling along with me. "bee oh oh kay."

it's where the goodness collects

we're told linus ate lots of sauteed beef liver with reduced sherry during his visit to the barry household this afternoon.

important development

he hugs!

generalizations

four-legged animals: "woof woof."
stuff in a bowl in the kitchen: "dough."
women: "amy."

bye!

latest thing: linus consistently says "bye" to the bath, his kitchen doorway swing, people, places, et cetera. especially to his kitchen doorway swing, which he loves but only in small doses.
