New Talent
We bought Kadin a new picture book which has many animals in it so of course we have taken to making the animal sounds when telling him what the animal is.
At Christmas we knew he had a talent for it when he received a rocking horse from his nanny and poppy and immediately picked up the sound of the horse. His interpretation goes something like this "Eheeehehhehhe."
And now for the list of other animal sounds:
When we say monkey Kadin says "EEEE EEE EEE OUU EEEE EEE"
When we say pig or even pink for that matter, Kadin says...well he makes a very distinct coughing sound which sorta sounds like a pig snorting right? I guess thats how we sound to him.
When we say dog Kadin says "ARR ARR ARR" in a very high pitched voice.
When we say sheep he says "BA BA BA"
And thats about it at this point. He doesnt like cats or cows (although he says "cow" he won't make the noise for it) or birds or mice but he does love to squeal like a monkey.
Kadin's words are becoming more and more clear everyday and the grasp he has on them is amazing. Just this morning he heard Hasan getting ready for the shower and he yelled "Abuuu....Abuuuu" until Hasan came in to see him.
Last night we found this little sleeper amoungst some old cloths and Hasan was convinced it belonged to a doll or the little girl downstairs....but it didnt. It belonged to our little baby boy. He has grown so much and become so smart...its hard to keep up really.
And this weekend? Well there is a fair in town and we are going tonite and tomorrow. I am sure there will be plenty of pictures. I cannot wait to see Kadin's face when he gets a look at all the rides and stuff.
Until then enjoy these pics.
I am a bit if a stickler for the mountains here and most especially when they are consumed by fog. Its amazing to see and I am constantly trying to capture the essence of it in pictures. Here are a few. I still think you have to see it in person to appreciate how it looks when the fog is everywhere.
Kadin loves to brush his teeth...it has become one of his favorite activities...and for that we are grateful. :)
Remember when I discussed the table sitting and how Kadin is a little too small to eat at it...well have a looksie. It isnt too bad for the sitting but the eating may be another story.
And finally here is the look that kills all other looks. The "I know you want a picture of me" look!!!! How sly is this child? I am sure we havent even scratched the surface.
