"I got her"

Dylan's been talking up a storm lately. His vocabulary has grown so much, just in the past few weeks. It's so fun to understand a little more of what's going on in his mind :) Some recurring themes are:

- As soon as Jason walks in the door each night from work, no matter where in the house Dylan is, he shouts "Dada! Shoes off!", basically ordering Jason to take his shoes off at the door. And then he laughs hysterically and repeats it over and over, even after the shoes have come off.

- As soon as Dylan hears Lina wake up from a nap, he goes running toward her room saying "I got her, I got her." It's so incredibly sweet. He's also always giving her little kisses and hugs (and sometimes trying to bite her feet or stuff rattles or other toys into her mouth, but I'm sure he means well :) )

- Jason is on a business trip right now and the first day after he left, Dylan said "Dada on plane. Me on plane too." So sweet, right?

- He also loves the word cute, usually in relation to Lina. He's always referring to her or the things she does as cute :)

- This happened a couple months ago, but it was funny and I don't want to forget it. Jason gave Dylan breakfast one weekend morning while I was upstairs with Lina. He later asked me what Dylan meant by "pork." He said he kept asking for pork, so Jason gave him some pulled pork that we had in the fridge, but Dylan wouldn't eat it. I happened to know (from many previous meals) that "pork" meant "fork!" Too funny (and he now says "fork" very well).

- He's also been talking about something called "Kunga" for a few weeks now. No one can figure out what he's talking about. He'll mention Kunga many times a day, often telling me that Kunga is in the playroom, or with his Teddy Bear. It's a mystery.

There are a lot of other cute things that I'd love to remember later on, so I'll try to add them another time. I'll leave you with a smorgasbord of pictures from the last few weeks.
