Talking...

I haven't posted in so long. I personally thought there wasn't any real hallmark moments to post about...but Elisa has been changing much. Aside from now sleeping in a daybed (her crib is one of those convertible kinds) and loving it, she also continues to amaze me by the pace in which she picks up new words and concepts.

Favorite songs that are pretty understandable (if ya know the words):
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
My Baby Bumble Bee
ABCs
Deep & Wide
Itsy Bitsy Spider

In the past month she has learned to repeat whole sentences, count to 10 in both languages, and learn a ton of vocabulary. I definitely think she has Wil's knack for learning new words in other languages as in 10 minutes she will repeat the same words in Spanish, as in English. She also has really associated what language goes with which one of us. There will be times when I try to get her to repeat her body parts in Spanish with me and she quickly stops, frowns at me and starts to say them in English. Then, Wil will walk in the room and she immediately pipes up in Spanish...smart girl.

Wil is also planning a couple of international trips with work again. Curazao (right off of Venezuela) and Milan, Italy....hum...I am thinking the lab needs an employee's spouse to help out at the conferences. Maybe I could learn some basic Italian in a few months.
