Lately, Sawyer's mind is really turning on. Or, it's becoming more obvious to us that there is stuff going on in there. His talking is picking up, even though I don't have a lot of new words to add to his list. But he's gotten to be quite the imitator, patterning his voice and sounds after things we're saying. When we were at the beach and shouting for different kids to come out of the ocean, Sawyer would mimic our syllables and tone, shouting along with us. Super cute. He will also say "yeah!" sometimes when he ask him questions. A very enthusiastic yeah. His range of animal sounds now extends from dog to snake to peacock. (Yes, peacock. I know it's random. He's pretty good at it, though.)
The other thing that really scares me is how he is trying to figure things out. Like the car seat. He now watches very carefully as I strap him in, and will sometimes hand me the bottom buckle when it's time to use it. Now it's just a matter of time before he figures out how to get it off. Eek! He also spent several minutes yesterday trying to figure out how to attach the tray of his portable travel booster/high chair. He notices everything and definitely seems interested in how things work. He's a wild man, I tell you. A wild man.
