Nana, Nana

First off I need to apologize to my loyal readers... I have been "off the air" for a while. I have not minded that one bit because the main reason is that I have been on a skiing trip to France. That trip was great. Great weather, great snow, and great company. What more can you want?!

After I got back however, there was a lot of work waiting for me keeping me busy until late at night (and sometimes even early in the morning...). Tonight I finally had some time to go over my pictures and see what there is to publish... So, I am back and hopefully back in my routine... We'll see.

My previous post was about Tobias being able to stand on his own. He has become quite accomplished at that... and he is taking a liking to it. He is also walking around the house pushing chairs. I am sure he will be able to walk all by himself sometime soon. Tonight he actually walked needing only one hand.

Anyway, in this picture he is standing and holding on to the desk. This is not what I was talking about. The interesting part of this picture is that he is pointing to the phone saying "Nana, Nana", which means "Nonny, Nonny". As I have written before we have a webcam session with my inlaws every week. Currently we use the phone and a webcam (we bought a speaker phone because voice over internet is just not quite "there" yet, especially not on busy times like sunday afternoons). So, every time we talk to Nonny we use the phone, hence Tobias' association of Nonny and phone. I guess he likes our weekly webcam sessions :-)

Another funny thing he does is when we hand him the phone (connected or not) he will push a couple of buttons, put it to his ear and say "Nana, Nana". Cute huh?
