Another Ham

This little boy is getting to be quite a ham! At most meals he does all kinds of things that get his big brothers laughing uproariously. And he loves it! He does a lot of real and fake laughing. He pretends to choke better than all the others did. He does it so well that he even starts to turn a slight shade of blue! He knows this freaks his mom right out.

His mobility is improving at a rapid rate, and though he is number four, observing these developments never ceases to amaze me. He’s also, almost over night, gone from sticking everything into his mouth, to being able to sit in the middle of all the Legos and toss them around without trying to eat them. Yes, he still takes a taste of things here and there, but he will stop in mid-motion to his mouth if someone says his name or tells him no. And before his major goal was to grab every little speck on the floor, shove it in as quickly as possible, clamp his mouth shut, and throw a big fit if anyone dared try and get it out!

He says a surprising number of words. Some he says consistently, others he pops out and then doesn’t say them again. I have little doubt that he’ll be chatting up a storm at a young age.
