Rowen's Newest Word(s)

The day after I blogged last (May 23, 2012), Rowen turned 11 months old. On that same day, he began to say a new word "NO" with his hand moving horizontally in front of his body (as if he really meant it). Since that day, he has continued to say new words - I think "dog" is his current favorite word to say while he points out the window. He also says "duck" and "quack." He is becoming quite the little character - very smiley and social with adults (mostly women) - we are still working on social skills with other babies. Here are a few recent pics from Rowen's music class.
