We still have one more left to carve, but I thought it was easier to do most of the knife-work while Owen was napping this weekend. Just a hunch. We decided to do pumpkins to match the costumes this year. But I don't have a good stencil for a Robin pumpkin...so I'm trying to decide if Owen's will be Elmo or just a simple face. Owen is actually starting to watch tv a teensy bit, in between couch-jumping, and Elmo is his favorite. While getting a flu shot today, the Dr happened to say something about Elmo and Owen said "La la la la" like the first part of the La-La-La-La, Elmo's World song. The Dr recognized it immediately and burst out laughing. She thought he was very smart to pick up on that.
It really is exciting when I recognize what he is saying now. It's usually just a word here or there, but it will surprise me whenever he pops out with a new one. I counted at least 25 words (or almost-words), not including the Russian word for Yes which he has started using recently (he had never used it before, but apparently it was stored in there just waiting to be used). He has also gained a pound and a half and grown an inch since coming home. The Dr just loves his progress (as do we of course!)

Wow, 25 words is really good for his age!! Alex didn't speak until he was almost 3. He's such a chatter-box now!!!
