Talking a Blue Streak

Ike has been talking more and more each day.  It's just wonderful to hear his voice!  He mimics a lot of what we say, has progressed to sentences, and even attempts some three syllable words like dictionary and alphabet.  When I read to him, I often stop before the last word of a sentence and he fills it in.

When we were at the library for story time today, he spotted a book in the "duck" series by Jez Alborough.  Even during our first reading of the book, he was catching on to the refrain- "Never fear, Super Duck is here!"

I took a few short movies of Ike and Cousin Lils the other day.  Ike LOVED watching Lils play "hide and seek."  He kept saying "Where's Lillian?" whenever she hid around a corner.  He'd then crack up with laughter when she reappeared.  It's great to see them interacting so well.  Ike also had fun rhyming and naming colors with Uncle Michael.
