Short short
I have a longer post brewing in my brain, but not enough power of concentration to actually get it out. Tomorrow, maybe. And Holidailies is coming up again - I'm planning on giving it a go again.
Just over the last couple of weeks I've noticed that Tai is really working on talking. While he doesn't seem to say 'mama' or 'dada' to mean either me or Tom, he has been changing the tone of his babbling sometimes. He will have little conversations with me, as he's been doing for a while. But he's also started mimicking my tone. When the dogs bark he'll look at them and make a short statement that sounds just like me saying, "Dogs, quiet!" They don't listen to him either.
Then I started playing this game to make him laugh where I lay on the floor and let the dogs lick my face. Then I squeal, "Heelp, the doooogs are eating my faaaace!" This cracks him up to no end. Then he started making little squeals along with me that sound quite similar.
Tai's always got something to say. I just can't wait until I can understand him.
