Explosion of words!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We made the long trip to Duluth to surprise everyone for Christmas Eve. It was a great visit. I haven't been back for a Christmas is 5 years so it was good to be home. We also got a chance to spend some time with Ryan's family which was great. The word got out that Adam had been very good this year because he was pretty spoiled will all sorts of toys, books, puzzles, and clothes. Unfortunately, Adam also got another ear infection and was pretty run down with a cough and high fever. He is just now getting back to his old self. Adam has also started talking up a storm. It is still mostly babble but you can actually pick out a few words here and there. Here is a list of some of his favorite words. Notice how mama and dada are not on the list. He can say them but never actually uses them.

AAAUP = up

blaablaablaa = banana

kees = kiss

bye = goodbye

hi-eee = hello

apoo = apple

papa = Grandpa/Papa

pips = please

tatd = cat

bubble = bubbles

book = book

ada = Adam

bebe = baby

a dun = all done

be poo = big poop

jaff = giraffe

papi = dog

color = crayons

brrrrr (with arm in the air) = elephant

hos =horse

duck = duck

no = I don't want to

I am probably missing a few words. I has been a lot of fun getting him to say all sorts of new things. Here are pictures from our Christmas visit to Duluth. Have a great New Year!
