It's official....

He's a toddler! His teachers said that his practicing at home has paid off this week, today he walked around the classroom instead of crawling to where he wanted to go!

Additionally, he is adding to his vocabulary. Mama and dada are everyday words, anything round is a "ball", we hear a lot of "uh-oh" whenever something is dropped or he knows he has done something he shouldn't, and he likes to make fun of anyone who sneezes by imitating their "atchoo." We are working on duck, dog, bye-bye, baby, hi and anything else that matches the syllables coming from his babbling little mouth. And, finally, the best news of all is Diego is sleeping thru the night....all mama can say in Hallelujah!

Here are some shots of the ham (notice that they are suddenly in focus, we had to break down and replace the stupid camera!).

Diego's "besitos" often turn into nibbles with his stuffed animals.



Apparently, Diego's love of hugging extends to toilet paper rolls!


Smile for the camera! Yes, there are 8 teeth now, and his canines are trying to make their way thru on the top as well!




Dare, I say...Diego's first attempt at "blue steel' ?!?!?
