Our Goofy Sawyer!

Sawyer goes through phases so quickly now that I thought I would jot down some of our favorite things about Sawyer before I forget:

*He is the best copycat - we'll be in the car and Marissa and Devon will be chatting in the way back and we'll hear Marissa make say something with a funny inflection in her voice only to hear Sawyer not two seconds later copy the exact sound!  He thinks he's funny!

*He can say so many words right now (16 months on) and will try just about any word we tell him to try to say.

*He likes to think he is talking so even though he doesn't know words for everything yet he will jibber jabber like he is telling you something important!

*Sometimes that jibber jabber can escalate in volume if he's not very happy with you!

*We have to tell Sawyer to 'talk nice' sometimes and he will then proceed to whisper and mouth words at us - because he was not done!

*We have taught him to say 'sorry'.  He can say it just fine - but he still doesn't 'get' it as he smacks Devon and immediately afterwards says 'sorry' with a goofy smile as he pets Devon's arm!

*He has started telling me when he's poopy (sometimes proudly:) so I'll tell him to get a diaper and he is so proud when he brings me one, gives it to me, then promptly runs away!

*He loves to read books with us!

*Marissa and Devon will sometimes play this game with him where he is "the monster".  They proceed to run away from him screaming.  When he follows and catches up with them they scream again and he cracks up as they take off running again.

*He has this thing about changing his clothes.  He can be very adament that he would like to keep his current shirt and shorts on when you go to change him from his clothes to pjs or vice versa!

*At almost 24 mos. some of my favorite phrases of his are "wait a minute!", "dinner-time", "what?" (says this like "what is the problem?") - he has started stringing words together all over the place!
