Jovie has been saying mama for the last 4 or 5 months. Her second word was banana and came at about 15 months. In the last four weeks her vocab has taken off. Here is a list of the words she knows: hot (she knows that the stove is hot and which foods are suspect to being hot on her plate or high chair), hat (I got pretty excited when we had a few cold days last week and bundled the kids up), belly (Cohen and her love showing and poking each other's belly, eyes (she points to her nose, ears, and or eyes when she says eyes), head (she picked that body part up super quick), shoes (she says shuzzs, and she loves to get them from wherever and bring them to me), bubbles (she repeated this the other day when we were playing with them and has known it ever since), dog (this was her 3rd word and it is hard to recognize this word but it's the same sound everytime so it counts:^)), and Diego (from Go Diego Go, her and Cohen's absolute favorite show, she says DeeGO).
Here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving this year. We had Thanksgiving dinner at Mike's house this year. The kids and I spent the day preparing some food at home in the morning and then went to Mike's for the remainder of the day. Joel was working nights so he came over just in time for dinner and then went off to work. We had a fabulous meal and had fun hanging out there in the evening. A friend of Jonne's had brought a reggae cd over and Jovie had a great time dancing to the music.
