Word of the Day: Booooo

Boooo is Nate's word for Balloon and Book. He also says mumumum for Baby MumMum (which if you're a new mom you absolutely MUST buy) and nana for banana. He's definitely searching for words a lot more; they often end up as some kind of grunt. I'm still putting all my energy into trying to get him to say a word, any word, in French.

The coolest though is when he says Dada. He always puts his hand to his head to sign it as he says it! I have no idea who taught him to do this, maybe at daycare. And it's not like he says or signs Mama. Just Dada. But we'll take it!

He still says Hiss for a snake and Moo for a cow, but I don't know why Ruff and Meow haven't stuck. It's not like we're encountering snakes and cows more than dogs and cats.

Here he is with one of his most prized possessions, a balloon that he got from Bianchini's Market for flirting with the cashier. Nice move, Nate. Well played.
