My son just counted to three today...with a little help. I asked him to count and he goes..."one, two, weeee". So close...but he gets the cigar (figuratively). The kids is smart.
I then go on and ask Lexi to start saying words. I ask, Lexi, can you say bye bye?
"buyyy....bye".
Can you say ma ma?
"maaa maaaaa"
Can you say baby?
"baiibeeee"
Can you say da da?
"daa daaah.."
Yep. Gotta love that.
