Now I know I've seen dada using these musical bobble things, but did they go in my ear, my tummy, or my mouth?

More words

We haven't been keeping Alex's vocabulary up to date very well. This is at least party due to him learning so much so quickly that is' getting hard to keep track of, but here are some recent favourites:

  • "Deddy...Go!" (Ready...Go!) He loves saying this, and loves playing it. He expects us to do something exciting, like toss him up in the air, run with him, or tickle his tummy whenever he says "Go!"
  • Nigh-nigh. When he gets tired, he'll pull the cushions and a blanket down from the sofa, and make himself a little nest. Often, he expects someone to lie down next to him as well.
  • Round and round! He doesn't say this yet, but if you say it to him, he'll do his spinning round-and-round dance.
  • Close your eyes. Connected to the nigh-nigh game, he will now close your eyes if you ask him nicely.

Also, he now know many more body parts, and will point them out on other people and even pictures, as well as on himself! What a clever little boy :-)
