New words and reaching milestones

The boys are learning new words every day as mentioned before. Their recognition of words, phrases and concepts continually amazes me. Over the weekend, Jason picked up a stuffed Stitch (from Disney's Lilo & Stitch) and started naming his facial features. Very cute and astute. But then this kind of thing can get weird...for example...during Saturday night's bath as we wash all his body parts, Jason starts touching and poking himself, specifically his penis. We call it a penis. No cutesy names or nicknames. It is what it is. Well, despite an inability to say the word they obviously know what the word means because after I acknowledged Jason's actions by saying, "Yes, we washed your penis." Kevin grabs his own and then reaches over and grabs Jason's. Ye-OW. Jason pushed his hand away and stood saying loudly, " UP!" Bathtime was OV-ERRR for Jason. I don't blame him.

Children's development books say that by 20 months kids should be able to name 6 body parts. Well, we've got that covered.

FYI: No cute pix of the boys naked in the bath. Didn't you hear about the people who lost custody of their kids because Walmart thought their bathtime photos were porn?
