Milestones:

  • June 28th: Likes standing on top of his push car -- maybe he'll be in Cirque du Soleil!

  • July 2nd: Climbs onto ottoman in his room.
  • July 5th: Crawled back to front door in Hollis to get the basketball

  • July 11th: "More doggie!" for the New York, New York singing dog on the Cape.
  • July 12th: Says 'Laurie'. We thought. Turns out it was 'Odie'. (Odie is Otis, the dog at daycare) He actually went through a week where he called all dogs "Odie." In fact, he called all furry creatures Odie. Including a chipmunk I pointed out to him in Hollis. : )
  • July 18th: Signs 'Help'. Says 'Mama'. Climbs on chairs on deck in Hollis -- claps hands 'Yay!' Picks blueberries in Hollis. First blueberry pie. Smacks lips when asked 'What does a fishy say?'
