I know, I am still behind in getting pictures up. For now, just trust me that B is getting cuter everyday (and I didn't even think that was possible!) and we are having a busy but great summer.
B's "little" personality is also getting bigger and bigger everyday! He is in the middle of a huge verbal explosion with new words/phrases/and sentences everyday. He still has a cute toddler lisp and a hint of Ethiopian accent, so some of his new phrases include "limpics" (olympics), "compassion fruit" (passion fruit), and "maginacon" (imagination!).
He had his first bad dream the other night (I think brought on by the creepy baby in the Olympics Opening ceremony). All he can tell us about the dream is "der was a baby...der was a girl...girl with eeeyyyyeeeessss. baby fell off the blue bed...der was a baby...etc." he was really freaked and took almost 2 hours to fall back a sleep, plus he's not too sure about the blue bed (his cot in our room) right now. Even when he's sleeping in our bed he will startle awake out of sleep and stare at the blue bed resting at the end of the bed with huge wide eyes and tense shoulders. My poor baby! The good news is, he called out for us when he had the dream (a HUGE first for us/him!!!), and he now says "mommy and daddy made the dream go away...it was just maginacon".
Tonight at dinner he asked for compassion fruit (he didn't like what we were having:-) We don't have any compassion fruit of the tropical or compassionate version in the house, but sometimes we really need both!
B LOVES the Olympics. His favorite sport so far is synchronized diving:-) He believes in full participation and interactive TV watching, so he talks back to the commentators and performs the dives with the divers.
He stands up straight with arms out at his side or above his head (whichever they are doing on screen for the dive), says "ready 1-2-3, ready go" with the divers jumps around on the floor during the dive, and then propels himself backwards into the sofa and says "splash" right at the time the divers enter the water! Then he claps with the audience:-)
He also loves swimming and gymnastics. In general, he just loves the "limpics".
