Talking

Baby X (I need a new name for him), has been talking a lot more lately. He's doing a much better job saying words after we ask him to say them too. Here are some new words he says:

Baby X (bebe EH)
Iggy
Bird/Birdy
Dog/Bug/Flag (all sound about the same)
Book
Bed
Bowl
Amen
Thank You
Milk
Baby
Bath
Bye Bye
Boo!
Woo hoo.
Elmo
Big Bird

He still leaves the ending sound off most of his words, but he's trying.

He is obsessed with Elmo. Buddy is now his Elmo watching buddy and sometimes Princess Sparkley. There's apparently a routine on one of the Elmo recipes that goes like this:

"Kid, you know so much about a banana you could be one!"
[joke drum roll]
"THANK YOU!!!"

They've trained Baby X so Ella says the first part and does a fake drum roll, and Baby X yells out "Thank you!!!" And cracks up.
