Where'd Tommy Go?

Over about the last month, Eddie has finally started talking. He has always known a healthy amount of words, but now he is quickly learning more. It's fun to hear him say people's names or try to repeat things that we have said. Dan and I now have to be good about watching our language!

And the first sentence that Eddie put together was "Where'd Tommy go?" Which sounds more like "Air Dommy dough?" He says this anytime Tommy wanders off somewhere Eddie can't see him. It is funny to see how aware of Tommy he is. And the next sentence was close to the first with "Shhhh, Tommy sleeping." This is what I say 10 times a day to remind Eddie to be quiet while Tommy is napping. So now anytime we walk past the bedroom door, or something is too loud, Eddie will say this.

It has been amazing how fast he is picking up on speech. He gets quite animated when he tries to tell you something. And his voice always drops really low when he says "Big truck!" And daily he asks about 5 times, "Daddy home?", which I think is darling. Then Dan gets greeted with a high pitched "Hi, Daddy!" when he walks in the door. He has also started trying to sing, especially to hymns at church. And without too much help, he can count to 5 pretty good.

But his favorite word is Tommy. He talks about Tommy all of the time. And if he wants to say something but doesn't know what to say, Tommy is said about every other word. Too cute if you ask me!
