14.5 Months

So I wanted to document all of Lucas' accomplishments, hence me starting this blog. I'll just try to summarize things until I get this site up-to-date.

Physical Development:

• Lucas is currently walking, and doing pretty well at it. He only started walking on his own a little over a month ago and already he is much improved! He still holds his arms up high for stability, but is clearly much more comfortable at it!
• He hasn't been to the doctor since his 6 month check up, but when I weigh him myself, he measures in at about 22 lbs.
• Right now he has 6 teeth - 4 on the bottom and 2 on top.

Language and Comprehension Development:

We have been teaching Lucas both English and Serbian languages since Nenad's family speaks mainly Serbian. We have been very impressed with his abilities to learn both languages.

English Comprehension:

• Can point at the following when asked (light, plant, nose, ear, eyes, mama, dada, tree, car, TV, duck, cat)
• He can do things on command such as clap his hands, give a hug or kiss, and come when called.

English Language:

He can say the following words:

• Mama, Dada, car (cahh), tree, hi (hah), TV (tee), duck (cuck), cup, cat (ca), no, more (moh), yogurt (although he only said this clearly once!)

Serbian Comprehension:

• Can point at the following when asked: (Mama, Tata (daddy), Baba (grandmother), Deda (grandfather), svijetlo (light), pametna glavica (smart little head - he pats himself on the head when you ask him this one!), jesik (tongue), nos (nose), oco (eye), oukho (ear), kossa (hair), patka (duck), drvo (tree), jabuca (apple), kruska (pear), auto (car), matza (cat), lopta (ball)
• He can do things on command such as dance (ples), come when called (dodji), 

Serbian Language:

He can say the following Serbian words:

• Mama, Tata, Baba, Deda, ne (no), ko je to ('who is this' - he says 'ko to' when he picks up a phone) , sta je to (what is this - he says 'sta to'), kaka (poop), dugme (he says 'dugguh'), kava (coffee)
