New Vocabulary

People keep asking about the words Eli is saying now that he's a big boy. His vocabulary grows every day and it's amazing watching him experiment with things in his surroundings. In terms of the words that he's saying, here's a list that Jess and I were able to come up with off the top of our heads, it isn't exclusive, he says a lot of things, this is what we can recall! I'm sure you'll be able to pick out what things he hears us say repeatedly to Oliver...

Mommy, Daddy, down, cracker, airplane, go away, Grandpa, doggy, kitty, don't, juice, milk, breakfast, book, dinosaur, Elijah (yes, he even knows that it's HIS name, when you ask what his name is he says "Elijah"), Dusti, banana, truck, Oliver, Zooey, wow, yes, no, thank you, please, Friday, outside (one of his first), no way, go away, car, don't want any, don't want it....oh, and today he said Ferrari ('errari) while playing with Daddy and the cars.

Again, those are just the words we could come up with off the top of our head and every day he adds more. I love it!


His latest discovery is Daddy's model cars. He pushes them around the house going "vrmmmm vrmmmm" then bashes them in to each other, the couch, etc. He is such a boy! HAHA
