Little Minds

He's still so little, but clearly he has a mind of his own and he's using it.  He is learning more and more now.  He appears to have logic and understands cause and effect.

He knows that when he flips the switch, something turns on and when he flips it again, it turns off.  So that when he flipped an inactive switch and nothing happened, he gives me that curious look and says "Huh??? Huh???".

He's been saying a lot of words now--he imitates what we say and what he hears on TV and he remembers them.  But I didn't think he understood the words.  Now I think he understands most of them and he is able to connect and relate one word to another. 

Yesterday, at around 5:00pm, he kept staring at the door as if expecting somebody to come in.  He kept saying "Papa!  Papa!"  Aah...it was about time for his dad to come home.  His Nana then asked him "what's your papa's name?"  And he said "Chas!"

He has also started becoming so attached to me.  Lately, he won't let his dad put him to sleep.  It has to be me.  When I'm around, he won't play with his Nana. He keeps tailing me and follows me like a little puppy even to the bathroom.  And when I shut the door on him, he gets really upset.  I used to not have any problems working from home.  But now, it's been a challenge.

Oh, the adventures of parenthood!  Sometimes it tests my sanity, other times it's the most fun thing of all!  Nevertheless, I still wouldn't trade it for anything!
