This is Mason's new favorite game in our backyard. Pretty funny watching him play his own game of fetch - keeps him occupied for 30 minutes at a time! SO MUCH better than walking around with him holding onto our finger.
He's been just learning like crazy lately. He can now point out almost all of his major body parts - head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, arms, fingers, belly, legs, feet, toes. He knows the majority of the movements to "Itsy Bitsy Spider", "Wheels on the Bus", "Thumbkin", and also recognizes and dances along to "Old McDonald", "BINGO" and a few others. He's also learning tons of animals and objects, and can point out cat, dog, cow, horse, duck, frog, rabbit, bird, spider, alligator (and does the gator chomp!) ball, car, balloon...um...I know I'm missing a ton, but you get the drift. He can also do the animal noises for a few (pretty cute to hear him say "baaa" for a sheep!!)
We're also noticing that he's starting to recognize words from his Baby Can Read program! As in, my 14 month old can read some words - how cool is that??
As Mason gets more independent, he also gets more frustrated because he can't yet communicate with us what he wants, so we've been working on a lot of sign language with him. So far his signing vocabulary includes more, milk, eat, all done, bath, nap and we're working on help. I've noticed it's really helped with his frustration at times.
All in all, he's really growing fast and we're just having such a great time together :)
