Jacob has been saying some funny things lately! He had used a chair to climb onto the window sill and was sitting there repeating the same thing over and over. "Humpy, bumpy. Humpy bumpy." I was SO confused. What is Humpy Bumpy?!! I couldn't figure it out! Finally, when he said, "I'm just like Humpy Bumpy"... the lightbulb clicked. Ohhh!!! You're just like Humpty Dumpty! Be careful that you don't have a great fall buddy!
The other funny thing happened when we stopped at McDonald's (which he calls Old MacDonald's because of the song:) for breakfast last weekend. After finishing his pancakes and sausage and he said, "Mommy, can I have some more ostrich?!" Again, I was CLUELESS to he was talking about. Ostrich? What?! Until I finally figured out that he meant sausage. Sure, have all the ostrich you want. :)
Gavin has discovered the concept of communicating with us by shaking his head, "no". Let me tell ya, he is SO crazy excited about being able to show us that he doesn't want something. We will offer him something to eat and he will first smile this adorable, mischievous smile... then vehemently shake his head no. As hard as he can. With a huge smile the entire time. He LOVES it! Sometimes I think he really does want the food, he just wants to shake his head no a little bit more...
Another exciting thing happening in Gavin's world is that he has a new word and his first animal sound. Gavin says mama and dada all the time, so we thought it was time he learned his big brother's name. We were in the car and I was saying, "Jaa-cob. Jaa-cob." To our surprise, he started imitating, "aa-uhh, aa-uhh". Pretty cute, huh? ;) Then, last night at dinner, we were making monkey sounds with Jacob. Gavin listened carefully and mimicked, "ooo-ooo-ahh-ahh!" The perfect sound for him, lil' monkey!
