So Hyrum is at that awesome fun stage of toddler. Which is hilarious and entertaining and exhausting. He is learning so quickly and moving a lot quicker. :)
He makes the most hilarious duck quacking noise. We try to show him pictures of as many ducks as we can find.
Basically any animal is automatically dubbed a dog and he signs dog vigorously while "uh uh uh uh" ing at us to make sure we all see.
He did recently start signing bear so now they aren't all dogs.
Hyrum is still a massive daddy's boy. Taylor spoke on Sunday and I had to stand in the hall so Hy wouldn't try to get on the stand. When we go to the Y I drop him off. He doesn't even care if Tay is asleep so long as he is by him.
His spoken words are dad, Hannah, hello, mom, papa, love you, dog, choo choo, boo. And our personal favorite "ta-da!" Which he does constantly while flinging objects, such as rugs, in the air.
Hy claps any time he hears the word good. As in he must have done a good job at something, he usually does. He claps for himself after he unloads the silverware from the dishwasher.
Hyrum has lots of signs which is fun. But most of them look like dog or more. He actually signs dog a lot and then realizes he is trying to say something else so he changes to the right sign. He does dog, bear, hat, all done, bath, brush teeth, more, fish, eat, binkie, blanket, night night, shoes, train, cookie, music, bird, bib, fan, light, swim, milk, hot, Jesus. And more I can't think of right now.
He loves, loves music. It can get him to stop crying. He dances like a mad man.
Hy loves reading books and pretty much any time you sit down he'll come with a book. He has his favorites and will make you read the same page over and over again. James and Matthias read to him as well and I just find that so sweet.
Because he doesn't say or sign potty instead he just makes a grunting noise when he sees a picture of a toilet.
Hyrum recently decided sticking his face in the water at bath time is the funniest thing ever. He laughs and laughs. He is such a ham.
Anytime he hears the distinct ringing sound of FaceTime he comes running. He wants to be right in the camera with no one else allowed he pushes the rest if us out and just grins like a nut.
He is still really loud about screaming at the top of his lungs until he gets what he is after...almost always food. I think he learned to be heard around here you have to make yourself heard.
Looks like I could go on forever. Hyrum is full of character and bursting with excitement. Love our little guy.
