My little parrot, Judson

Judson is a funny boy. He has been repeating more and more of what we say. It's so great to watch him learn. Yesterday for the first time he said "please" all by himself when he wanted a drink. He said it repeatedly. He probably thinks that please has something to do with drinks, though because he still doesn't say it voluntarily for anything else. Baby steps, right?

Judson will also randomly fold his arms (or in his case grab his hands together) and mumble some words and then say "amen" really loud. He mostly does this in the middle of Sacrament Meeting or while eating. It's a good thing because I'm bad at remembering to bless the food when I'm just feeding Judson and not eating myself. He's good to remind me. The amen in the middle of church makes me laugh. It shouldn't, but it does.

Then the other night I was trying to get Judson to come downstairs. He wanted to go outside, as usual. I said "umm, let's go downstairs." In response Judson said, "Ummmmm, outside." I think it's funny that he copied the umm. I knew it was just a matter of time because I say umm all the time.

Well, I just wanted to get these couple of things in writing. I have been reading back through my blog and I don't have as much detail on Judson as I would like. I like these little moments to be recorded. There's so much he does that I know I'm going to regret not remembering. Sorry, no pics.
