thebearfamilyI never posted any kind of Buggie update this month, largely because I usually do it on (or around) the 13th, and that was the day we left Florida and he stayed behind with his Nana & Grappa. That, btw, went very well. He slept well for them (all but the very last night, when Nana had to sleep in his room with him), didn't throw any major tantrums, and was generally just a perfectly well-behaved little boy. :)
Since we've been all back together again, we've noticed him being in another development spurt. A lot of what he'd previously been signing is starting to move towards speaking. He's stringing together phrases now as well: "more cookie/bagel/puffs/etc." "up please," and the like. He also recognizes all 26 letters, and is pretty close to having the numbers down too.
Physically, he is now running all over the place (and getting into EVERYTHING!), and he LOVES the swimming pool. Swings and slides are also big favorites. He's been having a great time in Florida, and he LOVES Nana and Grappa. Unfortunately, they head back to Italy this evening, so we're spending today doing as much family stuff as we can squeeze in.
All told, Florida seems to be agreeing with all of us. The only downside at all is that we miss everyone in NY terribly - our family, our friends (who might as well be family), my chorus, and our cat. Last night, I got very homesick and sad, missing folks. So... if any of you want to visit (or move down here!), we'd love to see you! :) In the meantime, we'll try to keep updates on here semi-regularly.
Oh, and there are pictures on the photo site, from just before we left, to a few days ago.
Hope everyone is well! We all send our love!
