More words

Rand's vocabulary is just exploding. It's at the point now where I don't even count how many words he knows, because he tries to repeat everything we say. The only word he won't repeat is "please," because he signs it. I tell him to say please, and he rubs his hand over his chest. His cutest word is "banana" -- he says it "num-a-num."

Other things....when he's hungry, he goes to the fridge and bangs on it. He loves listening to music and dances by shaking his head and stamping his feet in place. He tries to grab our iPods every chance he gets. He rarely nurses to sleep anymore (I know, a bad habit, but it's almost broken now) and is very good about laying down quietly while mom or dad sings to him. He loves his blanket that Aunt Katie made for him and wants it on top of him to go to sleep. He likes to pull his bumble bee jacket out of the closet and wear it around the house, even when it's 85 degrees outside. He loves coloring and calls all crayons "yellow," but we're trying to teach him to right names. He can wriggle his nose like a rabbit, put his toys away, and puts his dirty clothes in the laundry basket. He says "cheese" when he gets his picture taken and he loves dirt, rocks, and water. He likes to eat the peanut butter and jelly but not the bread. He loves brushing his hair but hates having it cut. We sure like him.
