Gideon - 19 Months

M(om): Gideon, another month has passed. Can you believe it?

G(ideon): It went pretty quickly, Mom. So fast, I guess, you didn't have time to take pictures of me.

M: I know. I only have pictures of you with your siblings. But, we were all sick for so much of this month and we have been busy with other things. I will try to take more pictures next month.
 G: Okay. But it has been a good month. I have gotten really good at walking and I keep trying to say more words. But, you don't seem understand to many of them yet, so I just nod or shake my head most of the time.

M: We are trying to figure out what you want to say, but it is tricky. I am so glad you know how to nod a yes and shake your head for no. That really helps us out. And you have gotten to be a great walker. What else has been fun lately?
G: I have been having a great time at Kindermusik. I have also been spending a lot of time at Joash's school, too while you are working on library. It fun to see lots of different people and enjoy having lots of space to walk around in.

M: I like doing those things with you too. Have a great day!
