Word Explosion

For quite some time now, though Jack has a lot of "words", everything he says is just 1 syllable and he hasn't strung 2 words together. Every once and a while he would let out a full "Grandma" or something a bit more substantial, but when asked to repeat it, he never would. Within the last couple of weeks, we have made GREAT strides in the talking department. He is trying all sorts of new words and putting some phrases together! And, he is starting to do them on his own vs us asking him to repeat words after us. Some of the most recent examples:

- strawberry

- popcorn

- pancake

- cupcake - see video here

- cookie - see video here. Clearly bribery for sweets is not lost on this kid. And also, Grandma P wins for nutritionist of the year :) 

- new car

- more please

- all gone
-delish (courtesy of Ga&Ga Noble)

- excuse me
- Lucy

- naughty kitty (referring to Lucy)

- snowflake

- Lion King

- ambulance (am blance)

- hippopotamus (ip pot)

- school bus

- helicopter (el cop)

-downstairs

-outside

-coffee
-zebra
-ballpit
-Grandma (vs Ga)
- Grandpa (vs Ga)

and I'm sure several others that I am forgetting! GREAT JOB, JACK! You'll be a chatterbox in no time :)

Catch Up

So, clearly I've fallen behind in my blogging. It has been a busy 6 weeks of 2014 with birthday celebrations, work travels (for Andrew) and any other excuse I can use for not updating :)

But, the good news is that Baby Noble is still cooking away and doing great! We are now at week 33 and baby is the size of a pineapple. I went to the doc last week and I was measuring just a little bit behind, so doc booked an ultrasound before my appointment next week. Oddly enough, I will be 34w2d for the ultrasound which was the gestational age that Jack was born. The doc didn't seem too concerned, as I measured just a week or 2 behind and they usually give a 2cm "grace" window, and as she said "besides, ultrasounds are fun." So, we are excited to take 1 last peek at the nugget before his/her big arrival!

Here is week 33:
