Eli has a few choice words that are just too adorable. He decided a while ago that all cars and trucks were "ducks". Despite us repeating after with the correct word almost 100% of the time. He just nods affirmatively as though to say, "Yeah, that's what I said. Duck." He's learning new words and syllables constantly now. Recently Jeremy was having Eli repeat after him and says "C". Eli repeats "C". Jeremy says "Ar". Eli repeats "Ar". Jeremy says "C-Ar". Eli repeats "Duck". Complete with huge grin of course. We have repeated this about 50 more times in as many ways and he will say the syllables separately but together it is now and always a DUCK.
Since Eli could utter syllables he has put some form of them together to describe his belly button. However, recently he's become even more accurate and consistent with his words of description. So if you ask Eli to say Belly Button he will immediately and enthusiastically say, "Belly Butt!". I love it.
Jeremy and I have been pretty involved in the House of Prayer in Federal Way lately. One evening this week we were there and Eli decided to raise his hands during the worship (until distracted by his juice). This in itself was pretty cute. Friday night Eli and I were just relaxing at home watching TV. Specifically we were watching Making the Band, which for any of you without a telly, Making the Band is a reality show about pop-groups formed by P-diddy, Puff Daddy, Sean Combs (whatever you want to call him). I guess now my son has associated raising hands with all music appreciation because as soon as Day 26 (Diddy's boy band) took the stage Eli lifted his hands just like he did at the prayer meeting. I was rolling, hysterical.
Note to parents: They mimic EVERYTHING!
