Nolan is only a week away from being 14 months old.

On words: He learned how to say “hot” about 3 weeks ago.  It was funny- he learned it when we told him very seriously that the newly-turned-on gas heater and the fireplace were “hot” and he should not touch it under any circumstances.  He learned pretty quick and at one point when it was still new he walked by and fairly close to the wall heater, stopped, shook his head silently “no” at it, and then walked away.  The way he pronounces “hot” is so cute too- it’s likes he says “hot” while breathing out really fast at the same time so it’s sounds like “ht”.  In addition to “dat” and “wus dat?” he has added “dis” and “wus dis?” to the repertoire.  He has a totally new sound he’s been making just this past week- a more complex language sound- it kind of sounds like “dag-n”- it the g to the n sound that requires a little more mouth movement and he just picked it up- who knows where!  But why explain when you can see if for yourself?
