vocabulary

July 18th, 2008

henry is starting to articulate a handful of recognizable words. they are, in no particular order,

clock, teeth, cheese, jesus, shut, show, daddy, hi, this

a useful list. it wouldn’t exactly get him out of trouble in a foreign country, but at least he wouldn’t starve (spiritually or otherwise). i still don’t understand, however, why he doesn’t learn a few really useful words like drink or snack or take me outside and i’ll stop screaming.

lucky us, we’re bagging up that big lexicon tomorrow and taking to the skies. yes, it’s true, i get to spend weeks sitting in the belly of the big western sky, seeing mountains and other tall things. i hope the humidity won’t miss me while i’m gone.

    Hope your having a wonderful trip. We finally located Soy Cheese. Maybe Luke will learn to say CHEESE too.

    I LOVED your lime entry - you are such a good pick-me-up.  I hope the pregnancy is going well and that you feel okay!

    I just got back from a little trip myself. Let me tell you, the humidity will miss you. Lots. My guess is that it will hardly be able to handle your absence and so it will be waiting for you the second you step off the plane on your return home (at least I know it missed me that much). But you are on vacation, so try not to think about these things now. You won’t be able to forget them when you get back anyway.
