Blocks

When we were in CA, my godmother and godsister took us out and bought us a generous load of baby stuff, including a set of wooden blocks like the ones I used to have as a child. E really loves the blocks and will often drag one of us into his nursery (by the legs - makes for awkward walking!) and say "More down!" until we sit and play with the blocks.

Today when he woke up from his nap he wanted lots of block time. I managed to slip out and get the camera about 75% of the way through and take a short video. Keep in mind he's...

a) Only recently woken up
b) Not yet 20 months
c) Coming to the end of this period of natural playtime - nearly ready to move on to something else

You can still hear him spontaneously naming a few things (including a color, which he's getting more into these days). His pronunciation needs a bit of practice but he's doing really well. Right now he enjoys holding up the block with an M on it, shouting "M!" and then turning it upside down and shouting "DUMBLE!" which is his word for the letter W. He does similar for 6 and 9.

Here's the vid.
