Story time with daddy

He likes to listen to the Halmark toy sing Jingle Bells.

Jacob said we had a good picture of Dane by the tree, obviously not! haha

It seems so crazy to think that Dane is starting to understand things that I say. Our parent educator said that his vocabulary should really start to build now and that we would notice more by what he understands than what he actually says himself. Just in the last week or so I have noticed that he understands when I say lets take a bath, do you want to lay down? and are you hungry? I just didnt expect him to really understand me already. Sometimes I wish I could just push pause you know?

Right now we have our tree up and it has not been the challenge I thought it would be but he does like to test me by touching it when he knows he is not supposed to. I figured he would really think the tree was neat but so far he doesn't seem to care too much about it. He does like to look at the lights people have on their houses though.
