Kid Speak

Both kids have been taking giant leaps in the talking department.

Malaika has been surpising us with how much she understands and is saying the first syllable of many words.

So far:

Dada = dada
Mama = Mama
Nana = Anna
Nana = Banana
Baw = Ball
Boo = Book
Ha = Hat
Ish = Fish
Ush = Brush

And many more... Most mornings, when we're getting ready for the day, she is quite insistent that we "ush th" (Brush teeth) and she has her very own pink toothbrush for her three teeth!

Yo, the man, is almost getting to the stage where he stumps mama with his questions. Couple days ago he asked me if peacocks can fly and if the sun (which is round) can bounce. I have to admit I was caught offguard by the peacock question, mumbled through an answer and made a mental note to further research the topic online.
