Our little chatterbox

We'll Abby is our first official talker. Right now she has 5 or 6 words...
- eekaboo (peekaboo)
- uh oh (her favorite is to say this as she knocks her cup off her tray...on purpose of course)
- oeoeo (eieio from old MacDonald)
- voom ("vroom" sound when she pushes her train around)
- tickle tickle (she says this with her hands out, fingers wiggling, as she chases Jake to tickle him...Jake loves for me to chase him and try to get him, she picked this up from me and now chases Jake around)
- and possibly "that", she points to things and says this all the time, but I'm not certain she's really saying "that" or not
- they both have been saying "mommy" and "daddy" for a while now, but I'm still not certain they know what it means. I think it's really just part of their jabber as they say this all the time, not necessarily when they want us.
Right now, she still jabbers a lot, but maybe as she says her few little words, she'll start talking more. Jake is still one syllable sounds for the most part. It's funny to listen to them "talk" to each other. Abby is definitely the dominate voice in the house so far. I'll try to get some video of her talking, but you never know when she'll want to talk and she usually is too interested in the video camera to say anything.

They also crack me up when we sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider". This has always been Abby's favorite song, but now that they're learning the hand motions to this, Jake's jumped on board with this song. They both love for me to sing it and try to follow along with me. They really just wave their hands around, but if you know the right motions, you can kinda pick them out in their waving.
