Catch up

A few stories:

A has truly discovered giving the raspberry. If he hears us do it, he repeats it. Well, as I was bathing him the other night, he stood up in the tub and passed gas. He then looked at me and gave me raspberries. I thought it was the funniest thing.

Elmo has been discovered in this house. We don't put A in front of the television (although it is sometimes on when he's in the room) so he's never really met Elmo. He received a box of birthday gifts yesterday, and in it were two Elmo stuffed animals. When I showed them to him, his face lit up like nothing I've ever seen before. He loved them.

I continue to be "Daddy." I thought he was just saying it because he can say it so well, but now I realize that he's looking at me and saying DADDEE... and then even louder and with more force if I don't respond.
