Wablee

Connor still isn't saying many words these days. It seems like he learns one "trick" or word and then stops doing it entirely. The only thing he does every time we ask him is where his belly button is. He loves that. He used to put both hands on his head when we asked where his head was, or plugged his ears when we asked where those were... but he stopped cold just a few days ago. He gets super upset sometimes about me asking and it all ends up in screams and squeals. Not pleasant.

Lately he has finally picked up on saying bye bye and waving.





I know... he's almost 18 months, and he probably should have already known this by now, but this is huge for us. He's been pretty slow with picking up things like rolling over, walking, but we always knew that it was probably because he was a preemie. I feel like we've worked really hard to name everything he touches or points at, but he just doesn't feel like trying to say it. He understands most things, like where his shoes are, or where the light is on the ceiling, and what a ball is etc... but getting him to say these things... NO WAY!

It's definitely frustrating sometimes and I wish I knew a better way to teach him these things. I guess I shouldn't worry. At least he's got his looks. =P
