Christina also said Ian said Schuyler's name yesterday. The teachers were scolding Schuyler, and Ian chimed in with "Kai-ler".

The doctor said he should have 10 "words" by 18 months, so I guess he heard that and is going the extra mile. Of course, all of the words go down the drain when he really wants something.

He also knows now that you not only push the buttons on the remote, you also have to point it at the tv. Of course, he also points the cell phone and whatever else he is holding at the screen, too. like a travel-size bottle of mouthwash. Or he holds it his ear like a phone. It totally cracks me up. Actually, whenever he holds something, he either points it like a remote, holds it to his ear, or tries to comb his hair with it. I suppose that quite telling about Mommy and Daddy's behavior...
