oh, i wanna talk to you

I must start this post by addressing the blog.......Ooooof! Poor blog. Lonely, sad and neglected blog. My deepest apologies. I've thought about trying to go back in time and fill in some of the gaps, but I am afraid if I saddle myself with that task I may get overwhelmed and just abandon you altogether. So in the interest of our relationship, we must move forward and never look back. Don't ever look back.

Now to you Boogey. In one short week you will be 18 months. That is half way to two. Two is old. Much older than one. Why does this keep happening?

Of course many things stand out about you, but there is one thing about you that everyone notices. One thing that everyone comments on when we are out in public (besides your full set of chompers). You. Talk. All. The. Time. I mean, really, all day every day. Real words mixed with Dylan chatter. I am sure that whatever you are saying is very important stuff because it comes complete with hand gestures and a side of attitude. It is hilarious. We spend so much time together that a lot of the time I really do think I know what you are saying, but sometimes you even have me baffled.

Dylan chatter is rapidly starting to give way to actual chatter. You are learning more new words every day now. I've been keeping a list. And not just because those stupid Babycenter.com emails have me all paranoid.

Ninja - Ok, just kidding, you don't say Ninja. Yet. I'm working on that one still. How funny would it be for a baby to just randomly shout "ninja"? Pretty funny I tell you.
