Iann has two 'words' ...

WOOOOHOOOOO :)

Iann's OT, LL, has been bringing all sorts of animal toys for him to play with. since animal noises are some of the first sounds kids can make. On Tuesday she told me that he consistenly said "MMMM" when asked "What does a cow say?" And he's kept on doing it :) That's 'word' number one.

The other word is 'Elmo.' It's not totally clear and you may not understand what he's saying unless it's in context, but it's clear as day to us. The first time I heard it was on Monday afternoon, when I asked Brynn to go downstairs and put Elmo on for them to watch. Iann got very excited and headed towards the stairs, saying his version of 'Elmo.' On Tuesday evening at the dinner table, I got him to say what a cow says for Jon, and then pointed to his fork and asked "Who's that?" Sure enough he said "Elmo." Jon was amazed and we're so excited. I've been working to get him to identify Elmo as a character in books, DVD's and a toy we have and he's got it :)

After 'moo' and 'Elmo' the sky's the limit. Bring on the words:)
