Visiting Family

Dear Vinny,

This past weekend Daddy took you to visit Granny and Granddad. I think you all really had a good time.

You're becoming more and more verbal, and it's really exciting. You've learned that words get you somewhere. Over the weekend, you and Daddy were sleeping in the same room (Daddy in the bed, you in the Pack-n-Play). Daddy told me that he was awakened on Saturday morning by you, standing in your crib, staring at him, and reciting all the words you know for food. Daddy got the hint, fed you, and all was well.

You've also learned to say the word "no." Your first negative word was "Ning-ning," which meant that you were unhappy. That morphed into "nay-nay," and it's now "no-no."

You're learning even more body parts: you can identify your tongue, arm, and knee in addition to your mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.

I missed you a lot while you were gone, but I was glad that Granny and Granddad got a chance to see their wonderful grandson!

Love,
Mommy
