Some things you should know about Tommy

You know how you can check your stats to see what people are searching for when they wind up here? The most googled phrase that leads people to this blog is "Tommy Two Scoops". I think I might start calling him that. Because I like it just that much. Tommy Two Scoops. (poor boy....) Also a lot of people looking for a floating uterus wind up here. Sorry friends, it wasn't actually floating.

Also: Hello readers in South Korea and Denmark!

Now, on to the point of this post. Tommy. Tommy Two Scoops. (say it like "Bond. James Bond." and be glad I'm not calling him "Scoops, Tommy Two Scoops" because that would be worse.)

One of Tommy's new favorite games is:
Mom: "Who's the smartest boy"
Tommy: energetically slaps hand to chest, lifts his chin up and flashes that cheeser grin.
Mom: "meeee!!!!"
repeat with the funniest, handsomest, gigglin'-est boys.

He also has taken a liking to emptying the bucket, and putting it over his head. Then he walks around until he runs into something and takes the bucket off his head and fake-laughs. "ha ha ha ha" he says.

I'm calling his first real word "duck". He has this ginormous duck (thanks Misty!) which he loves, and when I say "where's the duck" he turns around in a circle until he can see it. Then he beelines for it saying "duh! duh! duh!" all the way. He also points out the ducks in books, the rubber ducky in the bathtub and if anybody quacks, he responds with "duh! duh! duh!"

He "reads" his first words book. He opens the book, sees the picture and signs what it is. Then I tell him how smart he is.

Also, he's starting to look more like a Fugal every day.

Sickest baby in the West. See those eyes? Ouch.

Handsome isn't he?
