Jailbird

I arrived at my parents' house to pick up Ansel the other day and here he was to greet me. There are pictures of me at his age in the exact same place. I'll have to find one to post.
He is understanding so much of what we say now. He says "bub" for bubbles or balloon. He says "dada" very clearly. I had a funny moment with him today. While I was stretching on the floor he came over to our shoe pile and put one in his mouth. I said, "no, yucky," and he took this to initiate a game. He'd put a shoe in his mouth and I 'd wrestle it away from him and throw it out of his range and then he'd get the next shoe and do the same. I was not amused but he thought it was quite fun. I guess some people can find humor in anything.
