Blast-off!

Elijah is saying some really funny things lately. I don't know where he gets some of them. For instance, he has been saying, "4...3...2...1...BLAST-OFF!!!!!" quite a bit. I didn't teach it to him, and I really have no idea where he learned it. Hearing him say it is petty funny though. He has begun to say many phrases as well. He says, "Daddy at work." I am so proud of his language development! This morning I was making breakfast for him and he crawled into the cereal cabinet with his favorite black stuffed kitty. I told him I was going to take a picture and went to get the camera. I returned, and he said," CHEEEEEESE!" I didn't teach him that either. I think he must have gotten that at preschool when they had their school pictures taken on Monday. Anyway, here is the picture from this morning.

Elijah and Grandma invented a game this week. It is called Hmmmmm. Grandma says "Hmmm," while she thinks of questions to ask Elijah. She asks him things like, "Is it your shoes?" "Is it a pumpkin?" "Is it Grandpa?" "Is it Michael Scott from The Office?" or "Is it school?" and Elijah says either "no," or "it is!" Once Grandma has guessed what it is, ELijah says "hmmmm" because he wants to play again...and it starts all over. It is pretty funny. They played Hmmmm for an hour yesterday.
