Hey There, Squeaky!
So this is my nephew, Gino, who is my cousin's son. Now, I know what you're thinking..."An Asian boy named 'Gino'?" Personally, I think it's funny too, but you gotta admit...he's got the charm of a "Gino", doesn't he?
He's more adorable than a teddy bear and I can't help but be mesmerized by him whenever he's around. Especially since his grandmother gave him these awesome shoes that squeak every time he takes a step. (Cracks me UP!) And I think he's even begun trying to mimick the sound of his shoes because he'll very purposefully stomp his feet and make noise at the same time he stomps.
He's an extremely bright boy, probably because his parents are incredibly smart people. At 7 months, he went straight from the bottle to drinking out of a regular glass, skipping the sippy cup altogether. Now, at 15 months, he seems to have a pretty good memory as demonstrated last night when he explored all over my mom's house and remembered where the room with the ball (and other toys) was. He's also easily amused by seeing his own image in the mirror and he knows some basic words like: Mama, Dada, "baw" (ball), "Mo! Mo!" (more, more), and "booh" (book). Then there's the word I can't quite figure out, but it seem to be his favorite: "Ah-dur, ah-dur". He was also pretty good at playing with the toy where you put the shapes into the same-shaped hole.
I can't wait to see what Derek will be up to when he gets to be as old as his cousin.

Gino is very cute! Maybe he and Derek can have a playdate sometime!

"Ah-dur" could be outdoor? Was he trying to tell you something is outdoor or go outside to play?
Gino is cute!!
