new word, just like that

Gavin has a new word, one he learned last night. At 1:15 this morning, Gavin was awake. He crawled over to me, pointed his warm little finger at my eye, and said, clear as a bell, "eye." Several time he did this, seeming quite happy with himself at his new skill. (Maybe that was why it took an hour and a half for him to go back to sleep!) This morning - later this morning, that is - he did the same thing, only we didn't mind so much since the hour was a much saner 9:15.

On a related note, each morning for the past few days he has at some point after crawling around on the bed and on us, crawled up to the headboard and grabbed my glasses. Normally this would elicit frantic grabbiing of the glasses from him, but for some reason a few days ago I didn't frantically grab, I just waited to see what he would do. And what he did was to put my glasses into my hand.

This morning he did the same thing, grabbed my glasses and put them into my hand. Only this time, he pointed to them and said, "eye!"
