independence

I LOVE that Nalu is gaining some independence

and can entertain himself now.
A few updates:
Nalu is talking more and more every day.
Today all day he kept saying...
Ame, Ame, Ame.
Oh how I LOVE this boy!!
He is quite the funny one-
he likes to make funny noises, play silly games
with the kids and he laughs a lot.
Unfortunately he has become such a picky eater.
A few things that I CAN always count on are:
cheese, yogurt (thank goodness since he doesn't drink milk)
crackers and peanut butter, applesauce, grapes,
cereal bars, bananas (pretty much his everyday breakfast)...
everything else is unpredictable. One day he likes something
(like mac-n-cheese) and the next he won't touch it.
Oh and of course many kinds of sweets-ice cream, cookies, etc.
He LOVES them too!
Hopefully this stage passes soon, but not too likely
since his siblings are much the same way?!
