New Words and Just News

We read "Jane's Animal Expedition" all the time and while we were reading it today, Ben pointed to the map and said "map" - we have been showing him that "map" for a while, but it still surprised me when he did it on his own. He loves books more than anything and really loves learning. Other new words are: banana (nana, or banan), see, book, light, fries (he LOVES them)surprise (prise), shoe, sock, cup, eyes, bike and plane! He is aquiring so many words each day that I really can't keep up with them all!! He tries to get himself dressed now, although he's not too good at it yet. He makes animal sounds for an owl, a dog, a snake (ssss), a tiger, an elephant, and he sticks his tongue in and out of his mouth for a lizard!! He learned the baby signs for banana, help, and share - baby signs have made our life much easier! He'll also sign more, please, thank you, drink, and milk.

We are winding down our summer. The weather has cooled off quite a bit lately. We tried to get as much out of our 2-month summer as possible. We traveled a lot during the last 2 weeks. After Spokane, we went camping and boating for 2 days and 1 night and then this past weekend, we went with some friends to Fairmont Hot Springs Resort and had a BLAST! I still need to post those pictures.
