Talking?

This week we think Finn's finally starting to get the whole sounds-have-meaning thing. He's definitely referring to me sometimes when he says "mama" (or more often, "mamamamama"). Of course sometimes he's talking to/about me when he says "ahbama" (maybe he knows how I'm planning on voting in November) or growls, and sometimes he says "mama" about cheese. But SOMETIMES, "mama" = me. And "kitty" is something like "dih," which is a different vowel sound than he uses for most of his babbling, and last night he was working on something like "daddy."

So that's super awesome and fun. No footage yet, but I'm sure it'll happen. In the meantime, here's a crawling video and one from the SUPER fun time he had in the pool on Saturday when we went to celebrate Caitlin getting her cast off. BONUS VIDEO: dim footage of gross spit up, using Murray as a crutch, and the always fun sport of door-swinging. Woo!

For those of you who aren't into the video thing or can't watch them at work, here are some stills. More at Flickr.

Wow, he is so coordinated and purposeful! Moving around, pulling himself up, chasing things -- amazing. I sure wish I was there to see him in person. I really miss you guys. Thanks so much for posting the videos and pictures, even if they are making me cry right now.
