Duh!

Eli totally understands the meaning of the word "dog" now. Up until this week, I would prompt him: "Do you see the dog? Say dog!" Now, we go for a walk and every time we pass a dog, he says "dog," which really sounds more like "duh!" The other day, we were even inside the house and could hear a dog barking and he said it! I was so proud of my smart baby!

He has been repeating a lot lately. Every time I hang up the phone, he says "bye," or "bah!" Pretty much anything that starts with a 'b' is "buh!" There are some slight variations in the tone or the sound of the vowel. Ball and block are both "buh!" Bath sounds normal, but without the 'th,' and buck (as in, the deer his Pappy has mounted in the den) is also "buh!"

Oh, and rubber duck? It sounds pretty much like dog :)

I was playing around with my new camera and got this. I love it!
