Elijah's Vocabulary

So I have been trying to get a video of Elijah playing outside in the leaves on here for several days now and it is not letting me. Well, if you have access to Facebook, the video is there. If not, I'm sure there will be more videos soon :-)

Anyway, I thought I would just write a quick post to update everyone on Elijah's ever-growing vocabulary. These are all of the words he has said (or at least come really close to) so far.

1) Touchdown
2) Uh-Oh
3) That
4) Ball
5) Car
6) Shirt
7) Door
8) Shower

"Touchdown", as you all know, was his first word. He rarely says it anymore, but he will throw his arms up and make the touchdown sign still. He says "uh-oh" fairly often and "that" (or "dat") ALL THE TIME. He says "car" and "ball" quite a bit too whenever he sees one. As for the last three, ("shirt", "door", and "shower") he said all of those for the first time last night. And "shirt" he said without any prompting at all. He pointed at my shirt and said it. It wasn't perfect of course, but I could tell what he was saying.

We are very excited that he is expanding his vocabulary, and last night was a really big step because he said 3 different words, and he would repeat them after we said them. Up until now whenever we have tried to get him to say a word he just looks at us like we are crazy. So I'm hoping now that he is going to start trying to say more - he's so stinking cute when he talks!
