I can hear him now, up in his bed joyfully talking to himself, squealing then kind of fussing... He is probably wondering why I haven't gone to get him yet...then he gets distracted by his mirror or his cloth book. I keep thinking, he only slept an hour, maybe he'll go back to sleep for a little while longer. I just barely got the dishes washed. I always have so much to do at naptime...
It's hard to believe that it's been a year and almost 3 months since he came into our world. He is getting so big...although our doctor would disagree saying he is too thin and we should feed him ice cream and candy to fatten him up¿?¿¡! He is on the small side, but he's healthy and growing. He loves to pull on the roll of toilet paper until it sits in a wad on the bathroom floor. He also likes to collect piles of rocks and when I'm not looking, shove a few in his mouth. We listen to him in the morning, chatting to himself...he will often say "papá, pa pa pa pa PA!" then as an afterthought maybe he'll add a "mama" but papa is his favorite word. He also likes to say "TIIIIIIIIIIiktikitikitiki dikidikidikidtkahtkahtkahtkah" Today I asked him if he had some caca in his diaper and he mooed...I guess he thought I'd said vaca (which means cow). I think he understands most of what I say and the majority of what is said to him in Spanish.
