Videos

This is the best I could do. He makes me have both dogs on my hands so I had to set it up somewhere. You get the idea though.




Classic Donovan face. His finger is constantly in his nose. I also forgot to mention that Donovan is really good at finding shapes. He knows most of their names, including an octagon (only because we've associated it with a stop sign, but that's how you learn, right?). He finds shapes in his toys, blankets, and books we read. One thing he can't figure out though are colors. We go over colors almost everyday but he just can't grasp it. He knows pink, black, and white, but he gets green and blue confused a lot and says that red is also pink. We'll just keep working on it and hopefully it will click soon! He loves to look at his color and shape cards so at least he's having fun. He's also starting to pick up on words in songs and will sing the last word of the phrase while we're in the car. So far he likes Dave (Matthews), Miley Cyrus (boo), and basically anything that's fun and upbeat. He really likes to dance, but will only let me dance occasionally. I guess I already embarrass him.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the videos, sorry you can't really see the book. It's the best I could do. I will try to get Brad to video so we can get a better view.

Cute boy! Colin constantly has his fingers in his mouth. I can't get him to stop. I loved watching Donovan show the books to his friends, and I loved listening to you playing the part of the dogs. You're pretty good!

What a precious video! I love that he looks right at "Rocky" and pets him too. I remember that he is good with shapes. It will all come with time. Finger up the nose is such a classic.

You think he's embarrassed by you now, it just gets worse. And I'm sure you'll play it for all you can, just like your mother.

I think my favorite part of the videos are the dog noises you attempt to make. I laughed every time. Donovan needs a sibling so he can pick his nose and his brother/sister's nose at the same time. It'd be a great picture methinks. Random thought...I know.

Sometimes you just have to give the kids what they want no matter how ridiculous you sound :)

hilarious and cute! I can attest to Dvan always having his finger in his nose if anyone doubts!
