The Merrills

 
 

19 months!


Wow, so many changes in the last month!  Wes seems to add new words and signs almost every day.  He LOVES watching Baby Signing Time and asks for it every morning and every night after school.  He say, “Baby?” when he wants to watch it and if I don’t react he starts signing baby just to drive the point home.  He also loves to put on his boots and walk around but he almost always puts them on the wrong feet.  He loves his new class at school and has lots of little friends there.  He says “Doggie” all the time and almost always has to have a dog with him, in particular his dog Barkley.  He walked up the deck stairs without using his hands last weekend and thinks he is big enough to do it all the time.  He absolutely loves being outside and running free.  I am getting a little nervous at the thought of keeping him in all winter!  We are shopping for snowsuits for both of us.  I see a lot of snowmen in our future!
