2/11/09 Tidbit

Alex loves dogs. And he calls them "dobbies". I think he used to say "dog" but Dan was getting him to say Dobby, like in Harry Potter, and I guess Bug just liked how that sounded better. So, all pups are now dobbies.

Story for the day 2/10

So did you know that the main character in Madagascar is a lion named Alex? Yes it's great! Now when I say "Alex do you want to watch a movie?" he roars. I say, Alex let's play with this puzzle! ROAR!!! (sometimes we even get the claw shaped hand motion). Yet when we see pictures of him (which of course are everywhere) he says in his sweet little man voice "Aleth!".

So... ROAR!!! Have a great day =)

We're back!

So it's been a while, 6 months to be exact, but we're BACK! I've been working on uploading some photos, which is really taking a long time, so I'll slowly post them as I get them on here.

Before we get to the pics, here are a couple of recent tidbits about our little Bug. He's turning into a real chatterbox and will just go on and on and on about things. Occasionally you can pick out a word or two, but it's just so fun to hear him jabber away and we love it!

We're working on colors, his name and counting to 5. Here is how some of those conversations go:

M: What color is this?
B: Gween!
M: That's right! What about this one?
B: Gween!
M: Almost! It's BLUE.
B: Bwu.
M: Yes! Blue. And this one?
B: Bwu.
M: Yes! What about this one?
B: Gween!
M: Close, it is RED.
B: Wed.
M: Yes! Red. How about this one?
B: GWEEN!
(I think we really like Gween.)

M: What is your name? It's ALEX! A -L - E - X Alex!
B: Aleth!
M: A...
B: l - e - exth! Aleh!
(I don't know that he really knows what he's saying, but it's a start!)

M: Let's count! One
B: tooooo, treee, fiiiiieeee! Yay!!! (now when he says Yay! he pumps both fists in the air champion style) (he also holds one finger up while counting and loves to hold one finger up and say TOOOOOOO!!!!)

Last story, we've been watching a little Indiana Jones, Bug has sophisticated taste in movies. So now we sing the song. I start, Doo Doo Doot DOO, and he follows, doot doot doot. =)

Next post... pictures!

Pictures at last
