In Other Words

He's been home 5 months and in weekly Developmental Therapy including Speech for a couple of those months. As you can tell, Mason has a language all his own. I have to say that we find it adorable! :) One thing is clear from this little video, he is able to completely process and understand what we are saying to him. So we might struggle sometimes and things are lost in translation, that's okay, we are finding ways to work around it, for instance using ASL to identify objects and his own system of using sounds to link objects to their names. And he is learning so much so fast, so for now, I just want to treasure these cute toddler moments with him - soon enough he'll be all grown up.

cool dude!

Mason has a thing for glasses. Sun glasses, snowman glasses, pink girly glasses, glasses with little hearts all over them, swim goggles, even lab goggles...doesn't matter really, if he sees them laying around, he'll put them on. So every time he puts them on, he looks at me to see my reaction. I always say the same thing, "Cool Dude!" complete with the thumbs up approval. Today, my little buddy helped me pick up the toys in the family room and during our clean-up time, he found these funny snowman glasses, put them on, and held up his little thumb and said, "Coo Doo". I laughed so hard!

cutest. ever.

He's having a hard time keeping these glasses on 'cause his cute little nose is so small. :)

"Coo Doo!"

heh. he put them on top of his head, then shot me the thumbs up... I think he looks like The Fonz... "Aaaaay" lol!
