When Zeke was little, I documented the words that he could say at intervals on a sheet of paper. Of course, that format was quickly destroyed... with Mere, well, it just didn't get done. So now, with Eli I'm going to try to do better (I really owe it to him, I'd say, b/c I've not filled in hardly anything in his baby book :o/ Of course, I will have to update this post periodically and right now, the words that he "says" are mostly ones that only I can identify. Sooo, baby boy, here we go:
15-months, post date 7/22/10
bye-bye (first word)
momma
pop-pop (for Poppie)
Nanna
Paw-paw
up
milk (sounds like "ilk")
baba (for his sippy cups)
cow (sounds like "caw")
mooooo
bite (he wants something to eat)

The couch
For a 5 or 3 year old a couch seems to be considered a place to sit, lay, or successfully complete a head-stand... yeah, much like an adult. But for a 15-month old, a couch seems to be Mt. Everest. The challenge (100000 times a day) is to get on the couch and get off without falling with too much blood gushing from your head. This is our day... Finder trying with all his might to get on the couch and I'm amazed at how easily he can do it at times but then with such frustration the next (resulting in loud squeals that chafe my nerves)
Today, the couch has a whole new level of excitement. Meredy-Meese took the center cushion off to find Jessie's hat (from toy story.) Finder immediately rushed to the couch... as if someone attached an elevator onto the side of Mt. Everest... it was still a great accomplishment for him to be able to get to the top even though he didn't have to put forth too much effort. I'm like that some days, I must admit. But then he realizes that the couch has somehow transformed into a trampoline... so very bouncy. So I sit, watching his little chubby legs work to move his little round body. The joy is all about him: a face so lit up, his squeals of joy engulf the room, his fingers stretched out and shaking, and his little round toes working to make it all happen. Wow, I never knew that a couch could be so much fun! Maybe I'll just go right now and enjoy some bounce time, too.
