The Latest

Latley a few of Rays favorite things:

• While sitting in his chair at the table, pushing away and putting his feet up to kick and make it rock. He smiles and we quickly pull him in. He then looks at us like 'what did you do that for?'.
• Talking on the phone. He is still mostly confused by the sounds coming out of the speaker, but eventually he warms up and says a few words. He really likes to put the phone on his ear and just listen. He snuggles with the phone too to give loves. Then he says "oh" quietly.
• Pushing in the bar stools from the island in the kitchen to the front room and watching them fall. 
• Climbing the table has to be number one still. And sitting at the table like a big boy!
• Loves to go talk to an older neighbor of ours and he carries on like an old gossip! It is so cute to she how much he has to say to her. 
• Playing with any kind of ball is a great joy for him too. His is really good at throwing the ball. Him and the little boy next door try to pass to each other. Supper cute. The other day the little boy next door saw Ray at the door and said "Hi Wray!".
• Hitting everything to see what sound it makes. He is fasinated by this. I think to him it is not just the fun of hitting it but the music he is making. Whenever there is music he will stop everything and dance. At church he sings and conducts! At night when we rock him for a little he conducts to tell us he wants us to sing.
• Hiding and peaking out! He always comes out with a sneaky face and a sly smile!
• Bumming the front storm door with his bottom to get it to open. That usually ends in tear b/c either we walk him away from the door or he manages to open it and falls on his bottom.
• Outside is his favorite place, next to water. He could be outside all day long. And he for sure knows what we mean when we say outside! He can say it as well. His vocabulary is expanding nicely.
• He likes watching things work, and if he can't make it work he bring it to you with a certain look letting us know he wants help. He says please with sign language and the word "dank" for thanks too.

All together he is a happy and very busy little boy!s
