Evolution of a Name

She's got it!  Over the past week, we've been working on writing Mini's name and last night she wrote it all by herself, even got the letters in order. You can see the progress in the photos.

Not Talking Yet

So Grande doesn't do much talking.  His vocab is really just Mama and neh-neh (milk).  We have heard him say bye-bye.  At one point he would say Dada and Jie-Jie.

He does fine pointing and taking your hand to lead you places.  If he really needs something, he just yells.  For the most part, he can respond with head shakes and/or running away.  He definitely understands commands like change diaper, eat, take a bath, put on clothes, let's go.
