Keaton Reads at OneTrueMedia.com

Keaton has come a long way in just a short month when we visited the Dr. at 15 months and he asked was he saying many words. And at the time he wasn't. He had maybe 3 to 4 words in his repertoire. Those being: Dexie, for the dog, Go go go, for going up the stairs or anywhere where you want to go! Duck duck, for the obvious and hmmm, drawing a blank on one I think. But not long after that visit, it seemed his little vocabulary just exploded! Here you will see him reading me a book, because really that is the only way it happens now. He is much too busy to sit and be read to and you can hear a few of the words he says. His list of words right now are as follows:

Whaz zat? (or something similar)
Gop gop = book
nigh nigh = night night
no
nana (sometimes I think he also means "snack" with this one)
by = butterfly (also one that Quinn said)
bye
hi
says "moo" when asked what a cow says, but also for any other animal
ball
bubbles (not very clearly)

Quinn's New Daily TV Routine


Just thought you'd all like a glimpse into our daily life now that Quinn has decided that this is how he MUST watch TV, on OUR TV. With his large blanket and EVERY stuffed toy, animal toy, and whatever other toy strikes his fancy that day. Yeah makes for interesting sitting when you want to also try and sit on the couch.

Trick or Treat

Thankfully we had a small reprieve from the rain Sunday evening for trick or treating. Quinn had a blast running from house to house gathering his loot. Random phrases to be heard coming from him at points throughout our excursion were, "I LOVE trick or treating!" "Dad (Mom), look, I got some (more) candy!" "This is so much fun!"

It was plain to see that Quinn was having the time of his life. Keaton too, was having fun, although he had to sit back in his car and point out the sights. Most houses had steps up to them and we couldn't get him close enough to get his treats, so we pushed him along to see the ghosts and goblins. Next year he'll be able to run and shout "Trick or Treat" with the best of them.
