In the last few weeks, Everett has picked up a few more words. He said "die" [slide], "sue" [shoe], "tee-dee" [TV], "bah-poo" [bathroom], and "dee!" [beep! - as in the microwave or kitchen timer]. Everett seems to understand a lot, but doesn't seem to feel the need to repeat me when I try to get him to say things. He will (well, he *can*) get his shoes when asked to, he will go get something you say to go get (again, he can, but doesn't always want to, of course). On Friday, we were finished working in our home office, I said "bring your book" and when I looked back at him, he was actually carrying his book.
When he stands in front of the heat vent or the space heater or even the warm salad bar at the grocery store, he sticks his hand out (palm up) and says "aaaaahhhhh" like he's feeling the hot air (even if he's too far away to feel it).
A few weeks ago, the heat vent in our room turned off, and he ran toward me with a bit of a concerned look saying, "ah ah ah ah!" And I said, "are you scared?" And he quickly said, "no." Then he walked toward it and took a hard left and came back to me saying, "ah ah ah ah!" Silly guy!
When I move in close and say "can I kiss you??" he waves his hands and says "no no no."
When my cell phone makes noise for a notification, Everett says "oh!" and will even leave the room to retrieve it, and then swipes the message off the screen. I'm starting to wonder if he's reading my messages!
Everett is still working on all those teeth, top and bottom, between the front two and the molars. It's hard to see which ones have poked through, if any, because of course he won't let me look closely.
Everett likes to "read" books and will flip through several books in a row, declaring "ah duh" [all done] as he closes each one.
Everett is such a fun little guy!
