Angelo is 15 months!

I just remembered that yesterday was Angelo's 15 month birthday. Here's a little story about him. Mornings when Aaron and I both have to work can be tough around our house. The other day Aaron, Abraham and I were kind of quiet in the car. I was seething inside as nothing infuriates me more than the Forest Hills area of Jamaica Plain. All of a sudden Angelo started making some noises to get Abraham's attention--he has numerous ways of doing this including a fake cough or some other particular sound he only makes for getting attention from Abraham in a car. Once Abraham looked over at him, he really started putting on a show for him with a monologue of jibberish and wild hand gestures and finger pointing. Abe started cracking up. Aaron and I had huge smiles on our face. And I was thankful for the little guy in the back.

His list of words is growing and once he gets a word down, he repeats it over and over. Shoe is one of his favorites--as he was telling every one a Trader Joes the other day-- as is eye (AYYYYYYYY--usually accompanied by hand gestures-ie poking out someone's eye). He's almost walking and will be any day once he gets a little more confidence. I am amazed at how far he will walk pushing Abraham in the stroller or holding onto my finger.
