Dadu

Atticus has renamed Greg. He's no longer Dada or Daddy. He's now Dadu. It's really funny. He started calling him that a few days ago, and now it appears he's so pleased with himself that it's sticking. For the record - I'm still Mommy.

He's also making the connection between the phone and calling Grandparents. In the mornings, he'll grab the cordless phone, push some buttons and say "Bubba, Pop... Bubba?" Of course, if I actually call and put them on speaker phone, Atticus becomes suddenly quiet and just stares at the phone. :-)

The speech is still a little slow, but it's definitely improving. The other new favorite word is "car keys". He's figured out how to put the keys in the lock - he's actually a little obsessed with putting keys in the lock (both front and back door). And each morning, he asks Greg to pick him up and says "car keys" indicating he's ready to go.
