Easter-over

We just returned from Passover with the Mosses and Easter with Steph, Hope and families.

Julian found himself attracted to 3-year old Grace. He caressed her hair for several minutes, and she seemed to enjoy it. The next day, I put him back in the chair with her, and he did the same thing. Ladies man in the making?

He speaks

Ryan was silently counting to himself as we walked to the park this morning and then announced that Julian can say about 25 words. I haven't counted them myself, but here's what comes to mind. I thought we should capture this before the list gets too long:

dada
mama
ball
backpack
nyah nyah (eat in one of the languages of Eritrea, the home country of his babysitter)
yes
no no no no no... a few more times
this (while pointing at desired object)
wawa (water)
puppah (dog)
ditty (kitty)
mmm (moon)
hot
star
house
dress
turtle
pah-pah (paxton, his daycare partner-in-crime)
ta-ta (taddy, his babysitter)
wampa (any of his own grandparents)
glasses, baby, and jacket, all pronounced dadeh
momee (monkey)
animal sounds for cow, dog, cat, elephants and monkey
where is ...? (pronounced "eh'ish" may preceed any object that is hiding, such as dada)
