Hi Boy

I thought I would leave a note. I really slacked off on your blog because school and trying to break into writing has eaten away all of my time. You'll never know me as a scientist, you'll only hear that I once did research. I left in December '12. I wanted to pursue writing; I think I always wanted to write.

So, you are beginning to talk. You use one word ideas for what you want. You still grunt a bit for some things. Unfortunately, I know what your grunts are so I kind of reinforce them by just giving you whatever. Now you know why you still grunt when you are in college.

We play a lot of games. I toss you around like a rag doll. I think I'm the only one who does that because I think most people are worried about hurting you. I keep telling them you're a boy and will bounce.  ;)  You have some subtle clever stuff that you do. You'll be within an inch out of your moms reach when she tries to put your shoes on. You smile and think it's funny.

You tried to scare your mom the other day when she was getting you out of the car seat. She turned around real quick at a stop light and went, "BOO!" After you both got home, you did the same to her when she leaned over to unbuckle you.

You like to imitate me a lot. You sit in your seat like I do. The funny thing is I sit like that, with only my head in the chair while I lie on the floor, because I'm too big for it. You like to sit the same way.

You are very interested in my plants, so we'll be planting seeds together in a week. It's Feb. and I want the seeds to start sprouting.

Well that is it for now. I have a school paper due in 3 hours and I haven't written a word. Never be like me.  :)
