Words...

My little mischevious monkey has been talking up a storm these days, and I just had to share. You heard the breakfast conversation to which I am blessed everyday. Monkey also loves to sit and "read" his books. He talks out loud as he looks at the pictures, and it's a streaming conversation much like the one from breakfast. This morning, though, while reading Maddy the Moose, he said "butterfly." Granted, it sounded more like "but-te-lie" but still! Good job, Monkey!

Also part of the Monkey's repetoire: Nana, Lou-Lou, Daddy, hi, bye, flower (fwow-e), duck, quack quack, mooo, yo gabba gabba (ga-ba), ball (ba), Mackenzie (ken-cy), dog, puppy, cracker (ca-ca), cookie (also ca-ca), Crockett (the dog) (also ca-ca), Baxter (the cat) (ba-ta). I'm sure there's more I'm missing, but that's a pretty good list as of right now. Noticably absent: Mommy.

Last of the cute Monkey things, I promise. He has little hand gestures to go with certain songs. They have definitely taught him this at "school," but for twinkle twinkle little star, he puts his hands together above his head like a little star. He's also learning the itsy bitsy spider. Uncle Luis has taught him some songs where he hits his head (don't ask) and another one about a pollito (?) where he does something with his hand. Ahhh...Uncle Lou Lou!

Oh, and I lied. One more thing. He knows where his head, eyes, ears, nose, belly and feet are. He knows shoes go on the feet and he tries to wear daddy's shoes every morning.

There's just too much to keep up with, but that should be good for now!
