ABC/123 we've been going over and over them, songs included. We have this little alphabet pal (from auntie Holly!) to take over for me when I get hoarse. He said Jesus over the weekend (!) and almost an amen this morning. He does love to speak, mostly the same words over and over again, and lots of complicated sounds. Not a lot of imitating yet. His favorite oft repeated words are: up, hi, apple, juice, ball, cracker, uh oh, nurse, cheese, down, dada (which could mean Nathan or a baby or anyone!), mama, cheese, boot, and he loves to growl!! When we were in the park with Jonathan and Emma on Saturday we were calling out airplanes and helicopters (Jonathan knows them each by sound even before seeing them!) Desi's still a bit grounded -- it was funny because we were all looking up in the air pointing, trying to get his attention and he was grinning but looked off into the distance at something else we couldn't detect.
