New Words

Carter's vocabulary is finally starting to expand (though no one other than Brian and I can probably make out most of it). The words that are the most clear are please and thank you. Even if Carter doesn't say much, at least we're teaching him manners! I need to get a video of him saying "please" because it's so cute and he can get almost anything from us right now when he says it!

There are several other words that we've noticed in the last week but I'm not thinking of them right now. Carter also has some random phrases like "right there".

Carter is also starting to learn a few animal sounds. He knows what sound a monkey, dog, and duck make (random, I know). He needs a little help with dog and duck still though (as in we have to make the sound first).

Here's a little video from today ...

Carter has gotten really good at identifying so much in the books we read to him. He knows tons of animals. There are animals we repeat over and over again, but lately I'll ask Carter to find some random animal that we've never pointed out before and he'll pick it out (like a horse). I'm always amazed that he can pick out something like a bird in all types of books when they are drawn so differently in each book.
