Anthony says his name

Friday, June 20th, 2008

I haven’t been very good at keeping this updated. The big thing this week is that Anthony will look at a picture of himself and say “Anthony” rather than “me” or “baby”. He’s responded to his name for a long time, but this past week he really started saying his name.

His obsession currently seems to be fire trucks. From about February through the beginning of May he was obsessed with school buses, and we had to watch these school bus videos on YouTube over, and over… and over. Around mid-March he fell in love with the Pixar movie Cars, so we were watching it at least once a day, sometimes more. That’s tapered off now and he just loves any type of truck. There are also some Blue Angels videos on YouTube he loves. His favorites of the moment are fire trucks, Banana Phone (“ring, ring, mone” as Anthony sings it), garbage trucks, and planes.
