False alarm: Milo did not have chicken pox after all. It was a viral rash from another, more benign virus. All the spots disappeared after a couple of days, and they were never itchy.
Milo has a good memory. This week, he went to the Little Farm in Tilden Park with Lucie. He had gone there a month ago. After happily feeding celery to all the animals, Milo went "Duh??" and touched his nose... that's baby sign for "where's the pig?" And he was right: there had been a pig last month, but it was missing this time.
It's very sweet: Milo loves to give kisses. He kisses his stuffed animals often, and real animals as well, when he gets a chance. He kisses pictures of babies and animals in books. Whenever he plays a little rough and you tell him to be gentle; he stops, and switches to hugs and kisses.
Latest language development:
- no: no. That's not a new word, but now he says it all the time.
- no: yes. I warned you: he says it all the time. The intonation is slightly different when he actually means yes
- mommy: His "mama" has evolved to a "mommy". He learned it from Felix ; Dean says "mom" and Lucie says "maman". You can tell who he really pays attention to in our house.
- Po: His favorite teletubby.
- dodo: sleepy.
- [touch nose]: pig.
