Talking well
While doing one of his new jigsaw puzzles this morning, DS1 stuck his tongue out and said, "hair in my mouth". I tried to clear it for him since he didn't seem to be getting it. The great part is that he used to just say, "owie" when he got something like a hair in his mouth.
That incident reminded me that at DS2's birthday party on Sunday, the boys' cousin was surprised at how well DS1 was talking also. He asked me, "How long has he been talking?" I said that it has been quite a long time now. Since I don't have very many other references, I sometimes forget that his development is pretty impressive for a 2 1/2 year old.

Update
Gee, I haven't written in a long time. DS1 has done a bunch of cute things lately. Yesterday was DS1's birthday, and after DH and I sang "Happy Birthday" to DS2, DS1 said "Happy Birthday to me," wanting us to sing to him to. So we did. :-) He can hop like a frog, with hands and feet, and moving forward. And he "hops like a Tigger", jumping straight up and sometimes landing on his feet, and sometimes landing on his bottom. I told him that it's a good thing that he has thick cushy cloth diapers on, or that landing like that would hurt.
Yesterday when we gave DS2 his birthday gift (a dog that barks and "sings" BINGO), we gave DS1 a set of 4 puzzles with 25 pieces each. I believe that these are the biggest puzzles that he has ever tried to do. The age range on them says "3-7". He isn't yet 2 1/2! He can do them all by himself! The first one took 13 minutes from the time we started unwrapping, until the last piece was in. A couple of times I handed him a piece and said, "try this one," (but without suggesting where he try it). It was hard to not help, but I'm really glad I didn't. He is so quick with puzzles it amazes me. I think he impressed his aunts and uncles today at DS2's birthday party, too. We took the puzzles so he would have something to play with while the adults were setting up and sitting around talking.
