This month Louis has really been working on his talking! I started counting his words and he has 18 definite words! The best thing is when he says thank you - it sounds like "dane do" and he almost always repeats it when I ask him to - he also repeats it when I am telling HIM thank you - ha! Louis has also FINALLY figured out how to go down the stairs - I had been showing him over and over and he just thought he was funny running straight over the top of the stairs knowing I would catch him, but now he's got it! He turns around way before the top of the steps and then scoots on his belly till he reaches the top and then crawls down backwards! Today he also got down from the couch the right way took after we took his picture! Louis has been working on his molars for a LONG time, and I can tell because he chews on his fingers, drools, fusses and does NOT sleep well! Today He finally has 2 molars!!! I am hoping that he starts sleeping though the night now- he has been waking up like once a night and sometimes he will not go back to sleep!
Louis also loves the outdoors - he is constantly getting his ball or his coat and trying to open the front door - sometimes he even tries to put his shoes on! I am pretty good about taking him out, but sometimes he wakes up at like 6 am and wants to go out when it is still really cold!
Louis is becoming more and more like a person - He understands almost everything I tell him to do and he loves to play games and be silly and this month I have even started noticing that he will do something that he thinks is silly and then he will laugh at himself - how cute!
