Remy has taken to surreptitiously tucking a leaf into his mouth and hiding it there for hours. It goes like this– one of us takes him outside, he sneaks a leaf into his mouth, we bring him back indoors, one of us realizes that he has a leaf in his mouth an hour or so later. So far, we’ve seen clover leaves, a small dried oak leaf, and today’s special, a mint leaf. Quite the leaf connosseour we have here.
When he’s not sucking on a leaf, he’s taken to being gabby. The talking thing hasn’t been something he’s focused on with the same intensity as physical mobility skills, but he’s making progress. We have the ya-ya-ya’s and even some ba-ba-ba’s from time to time. He also does an impressive (but slightly less threatening) “Aaaaah!” Braveheart impression when he’s in baby-attack mode. It’s very cute.
Now here’s a picture that doesn’t have anything to do with the subject matter except that it’s of Remy. It’s also visual documentation of why one should never install black rubber flooring in one’s kitchen. It’s impossible to keep clean. Oh well.
My work is done here.
ooooh. Mint. Good choice, Remy.
We have a cabinet in the kitchen that is the “kid cabinet” where the boys can take any and everything out that they want and play. Although now it seems like they are commandeering the rest of my cabinets for games of hide and seek.
I’ve heard of this “keeping a leaf in your mouth all day” habit before. Do you guys grow coca leaves?
The black rubber flooring looks like a great place to bounce an oversized noggin.
No coca leaves, although I’m not sure I’d recognize what one looks like.
