Words

Ok, I'm trying to get a more complete list of the words Eli currently says. Forgive the repeats! This is just the easiest way to count. :) No Yes (this is extremely rare) daddy up down cat quacka (cracker) apple (almost constant usage) hot (he will also use "num num num" to ask for food) whoa (when he hears a loud noise) uh oh (usually when he "drops" something) wayoo and sometimes "waduh" (water) sausage bathtime outside shoes socks book bock (box) boo (as in, he hides his face or hides behind a door, then peeks out and says, "boo." He also uses this when he sees a picture of a cow) eyes walk wash cat all gone kiss mine on (like when he goes up to his cool new Casio keyboard, points at it, and says, "on") Sentences: I want ball (most of his nouns come with "I want," like book, cat, bock, quacka, etc.) I want bottle I want that I want see It's the cat What's that? I want down And the other night, Justin got him to repeat "mommy," but it didn't involve looking at me, and he hasn't said it spontaneously since. Usually when he wants me, he says, "I want that." If you're bored with all these words, pictures are here (legacy gallery unavailable), from our bi-annual "friends and family day" with Erik and Val, Marc and Elaine, Lindsey and Tim, and the herd of offspring.
