Toes & Teeezzzz

So Riley is definitely on a roll with words these days! I read somewhere a long time ago that starting around right now until 3 or 4 children learn on average a new word every 3 hours!! How amazing is that?!

Riley's not to that velocity yet, but he probably does say a new word on average every day. Although, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll say that word again the next day. Sometimes it's just a "repeater" word. He'll hear you say it, then he'll repeat it but not necessarily say it on his own.

One of those this week was Minka (Emily's cat's name). She was calling her, so Riley helped her call him. He's ALWAYS saying 'Carrrah' as in car, but with a REALLY thick Boston accent! We were driving yesterday, and he was like 'carrah', 'carrrah' at everyone we passed!

He's also got most of his body parts down - you can say where is your nose? And he'll point to his nose, then touch my nose, then have to touch Kelly's nose - we can't do just one! All body parts come in 3's now! Then he'll do ears, belly button, mouth, eyes.

So this week we added toezzzz to the mix too! So when we say where are your toes? And he'll pat them and say toezzzz. So after we had mastered toezzz, we started saying where are your knees? At first, he would just pat his knees. Then yesterday, he started saying teeezzzzz! OMG! Once again it was the cutest thing!!! Kelly and I laughed so hard, that Riley would just laugh too and repeat it over and over again! He's totally in that phase where he gets when he's making you laugh or whatever, so he'll keep doing whatever he's doing until you are about to pee your pants!!

So teezzz is definitely this week's greatest hit!!!
