Word Explosion!

Two Sundays ago Eddie and I counted how many words Andrew says. We thought probably around 70. He spoke in sentences, mostly gibberish with one or two words thrown in. He really was trying so hard, but in a room with Maggie, Paige, and Anna (who are all younger than him)...

Last week when Amber told Maggie that she was coming over to our house to play with Andrew, Maggie replied, "Andrew, he not talk much to me."
Amber told her, "well, he doesn't talk much at all."
Maggie replied, "uh uh, he can say duck"

But over the last week his verbal skills have exploded. He's now using too many words for me to count and keep track of. He rarely reverts to using gibberish (although he's still hard to understand most of the time), he's using more than 3 words in a sentence, he talked nonstop during Sacrament meeting, and if he says something that really sounds like the "f"word, he's not swearing at you, he's either saying flag or foot, we can't figure out which.

Unflattering Picture Tag

My totally awesome sister tagged me, and since its so easy and flattering to comply, I went ahead and did it!

I'm recreating a face that Andrew makes frequently, usually because he doesn't like something or doesn't want to do something. One time I got this face when I got into the car, he didn't want me to go on the family outing and was disappointed that he didn't get to go alone with daddy. This is also the same face that Noelle made in her unflattering picture on her blog.

Here are the rules, and I tag Marci, Jaime, and Kaili ( I don't even know if Kaili reads my blog, but oh well!)
-take a picture of yourself right now, no primping or preparing. just snap the picture.
-load onto your blog.
-tag 3 people to play… remember if you are tagged on another blog we will all be heading to yours to see if you played along.
