more and more

so e.w. is talking more and more; he's totally a little boy. in stead of feeding him bottles and baby mushy food; he eats pizza, likes to read, swim, and watch tv. on the 4th of july i gave him a little american flag and he was just running around the yard, waving it back and forth and giggling - pure unadulterated bliss. amazing. also, recently we're trying to get him to recognize when he's done something wrong, like spill somehting on purpose, and get him to say "i'm sorry" and help clean it up. which isn't easy...
