Gramps and Gee Gee gave Timothy an early Christmas present last night. He used it this morning to have his breakfast of cereal and banana. It will be perfect outside this summer but for now will stay in the house and contribute to his table eating education.

Tim's vocabulary continues to grow if not at lightening speed, fast enough to elicit excitement and praise when he brings out a new word. His first word was 'Daddy.' He's been saying it for a while but in the week of 16 November, he actually started applying it to Paul with consistency. (It feels like I've written this before but I can't find it, so bear with me.) The following week, he added 'Momma' after calling me 'Daddy' more than a few times. To date his vocabulary includes:
WallE
Eve
ice
outside
upstairs
ow (as in ouch)
raptor
hi
Despite these signs of growing up, he still loves his bottle and demands quiet time with it every day, often while watching a video. Here he's enjoying Frosty the Snowman.
