cookie monster

Liam is quite the chatterbox lately. He knows a lot of words, and each day surprises us with new ones we didn't know he would remember.

For example, he pointed to one of his books the other day and said "bee." I was so proud of my little guy because there was in fact a bee on the cover of the book (clearly he is a genius). When we opened to the first page of the book, he pointed to a picture and said "mole." Sure enough, he was right (future doctor here).

Several new words a day are expected of an 18 1/2 month old learning to talk but it always amazes me how their little brains pick up on things so quickly.

Liam's FAVORITE word, by far, is "cookie." This child probably says cookie 100 times a day!! The other night we tried to teach him to say "broccoli" at dinner. It sounded more like ba-ki, but he was really trying. He even attempted to use it in a sentence (mind you, his version of sentences are one or two words that are clearly audible mixed with a bunch of babble).


But he tries...you gotta give the kid that.

So as he's eating his broccoli, he says something like:
"I like ba-ki ado mama okie....cookie!!"

In an instant, we go from broccoli to cookie.

Clearly he has a one track mind.

Here is a video of Liam with one of his beloved cookies:

Don't even think about asking him for a bite:)
