18 Months: Speak & Say

Our "conversations" with the Bean are lost in translation quite often, but for the most part we have a mutual understanding going on these days. He's in that fun entertaining stage now, able to impress on command and make us look like good parents who don't let him watch looping episodes of "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" on Saturday morning so we can get more sleep because we stayed up too late watching the new season of "Arrested Development."

Most of his animal sounds were perfected six months ago, so the quizzing has moved on to a more cerebral nature of names, numbers, shapes, and colors...mostly involving trains. 

We are so into the train stage. 
And for some reason, possibly bought while sleep deprived, Thomas' {musical caboose} currently resides in our house.
