So proud

So my kid can pick up stuff with his feet. This is a genetic gift from both sides of the family, so it was destined to be. This morning, he started picking up elastic hair bands from the floor of the bathroom and transferring them to his hand (while standing up). Pretty coordinated for a just-turned-2-year-old, I'm convinced.

He's started scolding and/or cautioning himself, as well. This morning, as he picked up daddy's cordless powered screwdriver, he said, "Careful..." He usually tells himself, "No!" before doing something he knows he shouldn't. But he generally does the thing anyway. :o)

One of my favorite sayings right now is, "Good job, baby!" which he uses to congratulate himself on jobs well done.

His vocab is too big to count now, and he'll mimic any word. This is definitely the most exhausting age, but also the most fun and rewarding.
