He Talks - Part Two!

I am pretty sure all of these little things Sam has said is interesting only to me (and most likely Grandma Barb). I can't help it - it is so entertaining!

Today Sam was putting together a puzzle and held up a lion piece. I asked him what it was and he said, "Nah!" Meaning: I may or may not know, but I am definitely not going to tell you. I asked him again. He set the piece down and opened his mouth. Using a raking motion, he smoothed his hair back from his forehead down the center of his head. The little bugger showed me the sign for lion! I had no idea he even knew it.

Soon after that he was placing a puzzle piece on different parts of his body. I was naming them as he went. He set the piece on his head and I said, "Head." He gave me a funny look, and set it on his head again. I said, "Head!" This happened a few more times, with him getting more and more frustrated, and finally he said, "HAIR!"

As I was making dinner, Sam was sitting at the table looking at some pictures. He held up a picture of me, Eric, and Grandpa Wally. Sam calls Wally Papa. It is one of the few words/names he has said for quite some time. I pointed at the picture and said, "Who do you see?" Sam said, "My daddy!" I asked again, and he said, "Ummm...my MAMA!" It was so cute! I asked again, and Sam looked at Wally. Instead of saying Papa, he let out a deafening, retching noise. And then he smiled.

He's a riot!
