so many words!

Seems everyday Huxley babbles away at us, new words (tomorrow they are largely forgotten but a few that remain) - today its "happy day" - translates to happy birthday (i think), actually its been happy day for a few days now. but he attempts nearly everything and between that and madly waving his arms at us we are mostly communicating, 2 ways, and its a wonderful thing. We have very few tantrums, biting, hitting and he seems to be a much happier guy. Also he is hitting his stride finally for naps and we can count on a 2 hour, sometimes 3 hour rest in the day and at least 12 hours at night, sometimes 13 or 14.

He loves to play, he loves toys and says "pay toys". We got Lux's old kitchen out for him (she never played with it, or any toys for that matter) and he goes to town playing with the pots and pans and food and oven door, he loves it. Hard to get him to sit still with a book, he likes books but likes to cruise around while YOU read to him or he sometimes prefers just to lie on the floor on his back and hold a book above him and flip through it on his own.

I silently wonder if we are through the tempers...is it too early to say?? We never had tempers with Lux, this has been new and pretty exhausting and challenging for Geoff and I. I know we are wimps, but after Lux we weren't prepared for this little one and his big and brilliant personality!

Here is a snap of him helping us decorating the xmas tree.
