You have a bottle of milk sometimes in the morning and always one after bath.
You love to brush your teeth. You will grab mommy's hand and lead her to the bathroom and ask to brush your teeth.

You love to take a bath. When mommy or daddy says "bath" you will sign and say "ath" and immediately head up the stairs, to your room, then bathroom and start taking off your clothes and processors.
You do not like to be dirty, if you get something on your hands you get upset and want mommy to clean them off.
You love real car keys, fake ones will not do. You like to press the car alarm button and imitate the sound.
You still love your paci, but now you have a favorite blankie (your old burp cloths)

You have over 40spontaneous words!!!
You AVT therapist says you are a poster child for Cochlear implants because you are doing so well.
You say "hello" when you hear the phone ring.

You are very polite and say "hi" and "bye" to everyone you see.
You try to sing songs from your gymboree class and Baby Signing Time videos.
You loved to be chased and play peek-a-boo, and you say it so cute "A-boo!"
You say "Ria" each time we get in the car because you want to visit your aunt Maria all the time.

You are an observer, always watching everything first before trying it yourself.
You love your dog Raider, you may hug him to death if we are not watching.
You get into everything!! and you want to open everything "O tay" for "open it"
You are a stubborn little boy, and have no problem with saying the word "NO!"
You are also a very sweet boy that gives hugs and kisses and even says "Ahhh" when you give them.
You now hate to have your picture or video taken. As soon as you see the camera you start whining.
