All of a Sudden, It's "Words, Words, Words!"

This week all of a sudden I am so interested in mimicing how Mama and Dada (and teachers) say things. It's like a new game, I guess. Someone will say a word to me, and then ask me to say it back. My mouth tries to form the words---some times it works right away, sometimes I need to hear the word a few more times. I also watch how the person's mouth moves.

Like, today we went to Chuck E. Cheese again. While there with our friends, we got some pizza. (I love pizza, by the way.) Mama was cutting it up and said, "Do you want pizza. Say pizza." And I immediately responded, "Zzzzzaaa!" It's the first time I've ever said that word. And now Mama went from counting how many words I can/will say to listening to me say lots of new words daily.

I'm really liking this "talking thing." It gets me what I want a lot quicker...like bath, banana, ice cream, basement, up, etc. I'm sticking with it!
