Leaps and bounds.....

Almost two months ago, I wrote that The Attack was not speaking, so I thought I'd update with all the words he has come up with since then, and his pronunciation of them. He'll pretty much attempt any word, these are just the ones that he uses on a day to day basis, and is actually aware of their meaning....

Ashden plays now. Not just baby playing, but zooming his matchbox cars around the floor (while making fairly accurate car noises,) and over the jump he's made out of his juice box.

He pulls the tyres off all his cars with his teeth, - he knows he's not allowed them in his mouth, but can't seem to stop himself from removing them, so he'll come find me so he can spit them out in my hand.

He runs. He jumps (he's only actually gotten his feet off the ground twice, but he's trying.) He sings. He dances.

He throws, kicks, and sometimes catches a ball.

He loves the cats, and gets scratched most days because he often ends up sitting on them in his attempts to hug them.


The amount of development he has achieved in the last few weeks is astounding... his personality is busting out with massive force.

I can't wait to see what he'll do next....
