Quentin's speech has really come a long way in the last few months. His vocabulary has really grown and he often speaks in more-or-less complete sentences (although it isn't always easy to understand him). My favorite new word that he just started using in the last couple of weeks is "yes." He says "no" often enough, it is a nice break to hear "yes" once in a while. He has mostly mastered his colors now (he isn't too good about yellow or pink yet, but he has the other basic colors--plus burgundy--down). He can count to 12 with help (he needs someone to point to whatever he is counting and repeat the numbers after him to keep him on track), although he sometimes says nine where five should be. He likes to sing the alphabet song and, although it is mostly gibberish to the tune of the alphabet song, we can hear more and more actual letters in there every day.
We went to the playground after daycare today. Quentin loves to climb on the playground equipment and then slide down the slide. He learned to go down the slide feet-first on his belly and we're having trouble transitioning him to sitting, but he has a great time either way. Recently he has taken to going head first on his belly.
He still loves science-fiction (robots, monsters, etc...). Yesterday morning he was playing with (Matthew's) Godzilla figure and decided he wanted to watch Destroy All Monsters (A Godzilla movie featuring a wide array of monsters--it really isn't as violent as it sounds, especially not the part he usually watches). I decided to let him watch a few minutes of it, and as soon as the Godzilla theme started playing (any Godzilla fans will know what I am talking about), he started singing along (it doesn't have lyrics, but he knows the tune). I managed to get a few seconds of video before he stopped me. Here it is:
