I've noticed a huge improvement in Spencer's comprehension this week. He has been learning a lot of new words lately (what they mean, not how to say them). He loves it when we ask him where things are around the house. I know of 10-15 objects he can identify. That doesn't sound like very many, but he picked them up so quickly. I think it just clicked for him that words identify objects and he took off. Having a teaching background, this is actually more exciting to me than the crawling. I can't say enough how much I love watching him learn.
This is a picture of Spencer's first real mess (not just scattering his toys all over the place) now that he's a little more mobile. He discovered the basket I keep his bibs in and scattered them around. This one wasn't too bad, but I have a feeling that it's just a little foreshadowing of the wonderful discoveries to come!
Spencer had a good time with this Rubbermaid lid tonight. He thought it was pretty cool that he could see through it. That was his Family Home Evening activity.
How exciting that he is learning words! He is one smart baby! I bet all the reading you do with him helps a lot.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny what entertains kids? I love that it was the FHE activity. Wish our activities could be so simple. Fun seeing him grow up.
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of Spencer under the lid. His eyes are so wide open!
