It has been almost a month since I have seen Ty. I could tell right away that he's definitely changed, not so much physically as developmentally. One example that particularly strikes me was when we were playing with his blocks. Last month he would have just knocked down the blocks from the tower I made. This month he stacked blocks on top. He did this with both his wooden and plastic blocks on different occasions.
I love his laugh! It is infectious. I caught myself laughing just because he was. He was so pleased with himself when he slid on his slide. He climbed up with no problem and slid down. and popped up laughing and ready to do it again. He also attempted to crawl UP the slide. He reminded me of the little boy in the Christmas Story movie. He almost made it too.
He likes when I read books to him. His favorites seem to be the ones that are barnyard animal themed. One of them kind of reminds me of the old "Pat the Bunny" book-you "tickle" the dogs fur, feel the lamb's wooly coat, etc....He likes feeling the different textures and hearing me make the animal sounds. The board books are great because their heavyweight pages are easier for Ty to turn without tearing.
His vocabulary is changing too. I am almost 100% sure that he said, "Nana." Really and truly. His "Mama" is a definite Mama now too. When he was talking on the phone to his Grandpa it sounded like he tried to say, "Papa." He says his version of Melinda as well. It's not quite, "Ninda" or "Minda" because he does try to get the "L" from her name in there. It almost sounds garbled, but you can tell that he's saying it in relation to her.
It was great seeing Carynn, Jamie, Ty and Melinda; Landan too. I'm grateful to be back in St. George with Michael and to bee able to enjoy such NICE weather, but I''m also glad that we'll be home in 3 weeks.
Love,
NS
