Go Yankees!

A year and a half and a month update

Milo is picking up a lot of language these days. He's both getting better at pronouncing the words he knows (book instead of b') and picking up new ones. In the sky alone, he can identify the moon (moo!), stars (stah), birds (bir), helicoptors (cop), and clouds (clow). A squirrel running on the power lines is a whirrr, and an airplane in the distance is just pointed to with general excitement. He can even quack quack quack at the appropriate place in the one little duck song.

He likes looking at books and magazines, taking walks down the street, looking at pictures of his favorite animals, and most of all doing anything involving balls. He likes watching people cook. He understands a decent amount of what we say, now; we can tell him to go throw something in the garbage and he'll do it. It's very endearing. I think the theme of the 19 month update is that the little dude is turning into a little boy.

Hair update

What would you call this hair style? Sort of a half-Princess Leia?

Did I mention the pirate theme?
