CHATTERBOX

Tobin's turning the corner into the talking world. He's begun vocalizing everything. He jibber-jabbers to himself, picks up telephones and jabbers into them, wants to talk to ANYONE who actually calls the house, and just in general, makes his feelings known to all.

Yesterday I was dressing Blane for church and was putting his belt on. Tobin apparently wanted the belt, so he pointed at it and yelled at me, "Nooooooooo!"

He tells us "ow", "hot", "no", "dant-doo" (thank you), and a couple others I can't think of now.

Based on the fact that he's gone from somewhat mute to full throttle noise maker in about 10 days, it seems like he'll be talking with real words in no time. I hope it's soon, because I feel bad when he stares at me like, "Why don't you understand me?!"
