Not only has his vocabulary grown, he has started talking to/at us. Most of what he says doesn't make any sense to us, but he does his best. His most recent and frequent talking has been at his dad. Gordy will go to the coconut pile, grab a coconut, drag it across the lawn to the grass below the front door, and will yell up to his dad a combination of "dada and then a whole bunch of gibberish indicating that he wants Todd to cut him open a coconut so that he can drain it of it's water and can eat a few handfuls of meat.
He has started taddling (mostly on Todd). Each time he goes downstairs, he goes over to a spot on the lawn that Todd sprayed with paint, points to it, and yells at whoever is nearest as though he's telling on Todd.
He still absolutely loves to color on the sidewalk with chalk and has nearly emptied his big bucket of chalk that I bought for him.
He loves for us to tell him stories - especially when he nurses. He'll look up at me and say "es" which means story, and he usually wants me to tell him the The Very Hungry Caterpillar. If I tell him one that he's not interested in, he'll shake his head and say "no" until I stop that one and try another.
One of his favorite things to do is to go to see the animals (and particularly the baby goat) down the street. Gordy loved the little goat so much that he named her/him Abby and would ask to go see her frequently. Sadly, Abby was recently moved to a new home, so we can't see her anymore. And since Gordy is so young, he doesn't understand. So, each time we go see the rest of the animals, he still goes to her cage, points and says please asking for me to get her... it's so sad!
