I was in the garage with Griffin the other day, and he leapt into a gallop while exclaiming, "I'm running! I'm running!"

At the playground, he definitively tells me, "Train! A choo-choo train!" meaning that he wants to do a train on the slide.

His use of the language is blossoming. I think I read somewhere that between 18 months and two years of age, children acquire something like 4,000 words a day (that might be an overestimation). Wehn he comes in the bedroom, he augments his bouncing up and down on my head with throwing his juice cup at me and telling me, "Daddy! Juice! 'Mon! (C'mon)"

He knows how to get what he wants.
