Here are a few of Mark's new words: "pon"(phone), "on", "dit"(sit), "koowuh" (school), "bean", "tuht"(church), "money", and "mow" (mouse) Mark has about 60 words, but that number seems to change all the time. Mark tends to comment on any mess in the house. He takes the puzzle pieces out of the puzzle and says "mess" and then puts the puzzle together again. "Mess" is also a favorite word at mealtime. Mark has been practicing jumping, he struggles to get both feet offt he ground at the same time. It's fun to watch him practice, he gets so excited.

Mark continues to amaze us with his development. He is talking so much more and seems to have new words all the time. Mark greets people with a "hi" and leaves with a "bye-bye" often accompanied by blowing kissees. When we are out in the car, I often hear "bus" or "go" from the back seat. Mark maintains his fascination with buses and airplanes. Mark is an easy going happy little toddler, but he is also active, curious, and quick.

Mark now refers to himself by his name. He is quite entertained by seeing himself through the video camera or in the mirror. When he sees himself, he tends to get quite silly. His laughter and smiles are contagious.
