The Boo is talking a bit more now, at 15 months. He’s got Ba for Ball and Bath down pat, and Dada is quite popular as well. But now he says Dis! for This and Dat! for That and Dees! for These. It’s so damn cute! The best one though… Ish! for Fish! Accompanied by the baby sign. We have fishes on our shower curtain and he loves running up to it, giving it a kiss, and saying ISH ISH ISH and waving his little hand around. Awww!

He can also point. I am continually amazed at how one has to LEARN to do things that are so integral in my being I can’t believe I couldn’t once do them. Like pointing. Useful skill, that.

Another freaky thing about the kid. He’s really cottoning on to things, much faster than his parents are realizing that he knows what we’re talking about. I’ve always tried to talk to him like a normal person but I have gotten used to him not having a clue what I’m saying. Now I’ll say things like “I need my shoes” and he BRINGS THEM TO ME. Damn. It’s kind of creepy, really. He understands but he can’t talk back yet…. man, what must be going on inside his head.
