My new obsession

Wow, I have really been slacking on posting recently. But I swear it's not my fault. Mommy and Daddy have been slacking in the picture taking department. But don't worry--Mommy and I are leaving tomorrow for a week long trip to visit her family and friends in AZ and CA, so there will be plenty of pictures to share in the near future. In the meantime, here are a few to tide you over, along with some life updates.

Mommy and Daddy bought me some Matchbox cars a few weeks ago and I LOVE them! They are so fun and since they're so small, I can take them EVERYWHERE with me. One place I like to play with them is on the counter.


Did you notice Blankie in the picture? Of course I haven't forgotten him. He's still a favorite. And I finally found a use for my old bottles--the cars fit perfectly inside of them!




I also like playing with my cars in my highchair--even if I'm not eating.


And do you know what fits perfectly inside of a Matchbox car?



RAISINS!!!!

On a separate but similar note--I started speech therapy last week. At least, that's what Mommy calls it, but it sure seemed like playtime to me. The first thing the therapist pulled out was CARS! She had a whole bucket full and would give me one at a time. All I had to do to get more, was to sign the word more and say it. I was really bummed when we had to put the cars away, but then she pulled out BUBBLES!!! I had a great time!

Even though I've been learning a lot of words lately, I'm still behind where I should be. But here's a little list of some of the words I can say right now:

Buh= Blankie, dog, dog's bark, bug, bunny

doh=more

cars (used to be "dt")

bus (used to be buh)

bubbles (used to be buh)

boup=soup

bath

teeth

up

nite, nite

bye, bye

mama, dada

off

and lots of animal sounds..

I actually surprised Mommy and Daddy the other night when they were watching Spiderman because I said spider (pider) out of the blue. It's been a lot of fun lately trying to copy what they say. I think copying them is what's helping me learn so many new words. I'll be speaking in sentences in no time!

I love the raisin in the truck, and the nice photoshop job to point it out! I hope the speech therapy really helps out, for all of you. It's so frustrating when you can't understand them and frustrating for them too, not being understood. Miss you all!

Watch out, raisins aren't the only thing that can fit in cars!
