"Call Me Nu-Nu"

Since Mom first announced, "I'm pregnant." Dad has lobbied that Santiago's name be Noodles. Well, now it has stuck. If Santiago is asked, "Where's Mom." He will point to Mom. If asked, "Where's Santiago." He'll point to himself. If asked, "Where's Noodles." He'll point to himself. When Santiago speaks of himself he points to his chest and says "Nu-Nu."

Santiago wants to do more and more things for himself. At naptime this afternoon, he picked up a book, pointed to himself and said, "Nu-Nu" to indicated that he wanted to read the book himself. He can wash himself in the tub and pour his own milk (as long as the carton isn't too heavy). He likes walking everywhere and still enjoys pushing is own stroller. He will push Mom out of the way when he knows that he "can do it himself."
