I just realized this week that Nicky has started to put words together quite often to make phrases. Mostly, they’re things like, “more (something), please”, “I will” or “eat it”, but sometimes he’ll talk about something that’s his or mine. As usual, I’m amazed by his development.
We’re still working on his finger. He asks for Lansinoh a couple of times a day, at least (he says “wass-i-no”). Occasionally, we can get him to suck his thumb or another finger, but he still likes to suck that finger, so this is going to be a process. I also made a puppet out of a sock for him to wear, and he likes to wear it for a few minutes at a time.
Our latest favorite words from Nicky: “seashells” and “bucket”.
