Word of the week

He says "Kirby," the name of our dear old dog, pronounced "Aa-bee."  My mama heart melts.

He says "baby" as "bebe," in a lovely French accent.  I talk about the baby in Mama's belly, but he gets very confused and looks at his own belly button.
He's also added book ("booo"), boat ("bow"), bird ("burrrr") and sometimes says that a horse says, "Neigh."
He's been using Mama and Dada interchangeably, Mama when whiny and needy especially.  But maybe he's starting to figure it out?
He adores Elmo ("Elmee"), who appears in his bath books and on his diapers.  Elmo is very helpful in convincing him to brush his teeth and take his medicine.  Elmo wants him to!
He can show you his tongue and fingers and your teeth.

He's sitting and reading quietly to himself after breakfast this morning, and he just asked himself for "more."
