Russell is now 1 year old. He is a very healthy baby and he is so intelligent! He is just now blabing out words like "mama" "dada" and believe it or not, "Bob." He loves to watch Bob the builder, its his latest obcesion and its quite strange but thats ok because its teaching him new things every day. I love to just watch him laugh as he is hypnotized by the TV watching Bob the builder, but sometimes I get worried because of his eye sight. I try and keep him away from the TV as much as possible. The other day we took him by the pool and we had so much fun as a family! We are so blessed!
His cognition is very impressive! Everything from thinking, to knowing and remembering he is great at. The doctor says that he has a very high IQ, but I dont seem to know how they can tell if he's smart or not when a kid is a year old. I hope its true!
Today was so funny. Russell has always been taught that dogs bark and when he sees a dog he mutters “woof woof.” But today Andrea bought Russell a stuffed animal that was a bunny and when Russell saw it he barked and everyone who was looking started to laugh. I was quite funny to see how Russell had assimilated the bunny into the same schema as a dog. We ended up teaching him that bunnies are a different animal and that they don’t bark. He’s a smart kid so we are confident that he will be able to accommodate everything into its own schema!
