Exciting Developments

Here are a few new words Isaiah has learned lately:

Cookie--we're not really sure about where he picked this one up. Maybe at the baby-sitter's house? He says it pretty often, and he knows what it means. There is no tricking this kid with cereal.

Choo-Choo--this is what a train says, just in case you didn't know.

Elmo--again, not really sure about this one either. We went to Square Books, Jr. today and he picked up the Elmo doll and said "Elmo."

Roll--this is strategic on our part as it replaces the action of throwing. As in "let's roll the ball, not throw it."

Pizza--we made our own pizza for dinner on Sunday and he's been talking about it ever since. Now that's some good pizza.

Pull--this is for pulling the chain on the light in his closet. He loves to hide in the closet. He also loves to ask his dad to hide in there too.

Puppy--as in "puuuupy" like he's calling for puppy. This is his special "lovey" toy. He'll just randomly call to it, like when we're driving in the car, for instance.

In case you didn't notice, we've got some nouns in here... a few verbs... we're mixing it up with the parts of speech. This gets pretty exciting! We may move on to adjectives next. I think adverbs will follow soon after.

A few more exciting things going on around here:
1. A box came today with two items that we are pretty pumped about. A potty chair! Yes, although it is really just for looking at and maybe contemplating for a while. A Diaper Shower! I may have mentioned that we have been cloth diapering a lot lately. We went hard-core over the summer, and now we do it when we're home, but we don't send them to the baby-sitter's house. Well, toddler diapers can get... icky. This thing is going to be so helpful. It's just a little nozzle for washing off those icky ones.

2. Even more exciting, if you can believe it.... D. felt our new baby move tonight! I'll be honest, we had some cookies and ice cream. I think the new baby liked them. He or she was doing some serious wiggling, and D. was able to feel it!
