Stages 2

Peter is at a great stage too. He is starting to learn actual words. He always talked quite a bit but all nonsense. Now he says 'mommy' for just about everything but he's starting to learn a few other words (gotcha and daddy so far). He mostly does sounds. He is a fantastic growler. He knows what cows say but it sounds more like 'beeee' than 'mooo'. I don't know what that's about but it's cute. He also does 'uh uh' and 'mmmm'. He's very independent but it mostly gets him into trouble right now. He tries to get drinks from the water dispenser on the fridge and almost always gets soaked. He can fill up the cup but when he tries to bring it back down he tips it and gets all wet...or he tries to fill up something that has a lid on it. He's smart but he is only 1 and a 1/2. Peter does a lot of screaming. Mostly to be silly. He and the other kids will run up and down the hall and scream. He also loves books. He brings us books all the time to look at with him. He doesn't have the patience to sit through an actual story however so we usually read one sentence or less and then turn the page. Jeff and I are pretty bored with his favorite books but we don't want to discourage him so we read them anyway.
