My little bean counter.

This is what Elijah did all thru lunch yesterday...

He would pic up a bean...

Put it on the rim of his plate...

Then eat it like a dog...(maybe eating all that dog food did do something to him)

More Elijah tidbits: He is talking like crazy. When he does a whole sentence you don't get anything, but he has tons of words and is learning more every day. Over the vacation it was interesting to see that other people could understand him. The pediatrician said usually parents have to interpret, but by age 2 family and friends (or strangers) should be able to understand 50% of what he says - and they can - so that seems good. He loves to know what words go with things. He will point to something and say "dis" and want you to tell him what "this" is. He thinks its a game. Then he'll repeat the words and his memory is amazing.

Another fun thing is...we're trying to work on counting. We are at "One...Two" I'm not sure that he understands what he's doing, but we're working on it. Today at the grocery store he would point to stuff on the shelf and say "One...Two" then sometimes would say "one...two...one!" He is so proud of himself. In the car on the way to Abilene Beau and I are talking and from Elijah we hear "two, four, six"..."two, four, six" Now, he obviously can't count by two's. I don't know if it is just a coincidence or if he just learns every other number we say. Who knows...
