1st compound words

Noah, 19-20 months first said "thank you," "apple," then "happy," "bubble," and "cracker." Oh, and we can't forget "Brobee!" from his favorite show, Yo Gabba Gabba. He's talking so much now, "oosh (shoes), ock (sock), sigh (outside), mmm (moon) baba (banana), ire (fire), book, car, alk (chalk), eef (leaf), wee-ol (ravioli), ease (cheese), newt (fig newton), daw (dog), raff (giraffe), wawa (water), milk, eye, orge (Curious George), turl (turtle), ball, uum (broom)" are many he says often. He repeats things we say a lot now too. He starting to play pretend and talks out loud. He's better on 3-4 hour car trips now when going to the Grandparents house. He has also taken interest in changing his diaper and says poopoo and points to his bottom; a good sign of soon readiness for potty training perhaps.

Happy New Year! It's 2009.

Mom, Dad, & Noah all had a great day off from work and school (daycare). We spent all day playing, learning, running errands, doing chores, and cleaning as a family. Noah is 19 months old now and talking up a storm. He is so smart, repeating words we say and holding his own conversations. He says a lot of common words in his books and points to them. He is in a stage were he whines sometimes for Mama and is cranky about going to sleep in his own bed (crib) although he's been sleeping just fine in it since he was 2 months old. Total number of teeth now: 11. All 4 1st molars came in about the same time, but he got through it just fine. Sonya made us black-eye peas today for good luck, they were yummy.
