Cool as a cucumber

Dear Aidan,

You are really beginning to mimic whatever we say to you now. It's quite amazing actually.

You watch what we do and if we say something you try to repeat it back. You aren't perfect in pronouncing some of the things that we say, but I think it's a huge step. This morning I woke up to you talking gibberish in your crib. Later on I kept hearing you repeat, 'Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh...' over and aver. I went to get you and I realized that you were saying that because you had pooed in your diaper. Haha. Then, you started grabbing all your blankets in your crib and started draping them over your crib. You see, I do that every morning when I get you from your crib. That's why you do that. I find that I'm really enjoying this stage right now. You are starting to help me do chores around the house. Today you helped me water the plants and fold laundry. Aigoo aigoo aigoo...

You can say 'Um-ma' quite well now. (Yes!)

Let's see... these are the words you can say now:

Hi

Daddy

Um-ma ("mom" in Korean)

Appah ("dad" in Korean)

Feet

Head

Tiger

Aidan

"I" (for "I love you" or "eyes")

Bab bap ("food" in Korean)

Cookie

Uh oh

Cheese

"kah" (for "Milk". I don't know how that is, but I guess you are pronouncing the last letter of milk?)

As for actions you can do a lot now. Just today you were showing us marching (daddy taught you that), saluting, and spinning.

The photo above are pictures I took of you on our way to Galleria this morning. We put you in sunglasses because you tend to squint a lot in the car. Don't you look like a Korean ah-juh-shee's?
