three little words

I finally got it on video!

Jackson often surprises us when he comes up with a new word or sound effect that we had no intention of teaching him. For example, he calls water or any other drink "aaaaaah" because we have joked with him by taking a big sip and following it with a big, dramatic sigh of "aaaaaah." Anytime he wants his water bottle or a sip from our cup, he comes to us and says, "aaaaah" and it works like a charm. Then he follows each sip with an "aaaaah" and a smile. Being cute will get you anywhere.

Another sound effect we never expected was Jackson's "word" for his binky. Dan and I have repeatedly played a little game where we pull Jackson's binky out of his mouth and make a loud click with our tongues. It wasn't long before Jackson started pulling his binky out of his own mouth and making the same sound. We thought it was hilarious. A few weeks ago I asked Jackson where his binky was and he answered me with a loud click.

And then there is the random word that Jackson decides to add to his vocabulary through absolutely no effort on our part. Like duck. He's a big fan of the "k" sound so maybe that's why he likes playing with his rubber duckies in the bathtub so much in between splashes.

Anyway...here we have it, ladies and gentlemen! All three of the aforementioned Jackson "words"
caught on video...

(Be ready for the "aaaaah" because that's in the very first second of the video.)

And here's what happened the FIRST time I tried to get him to say something for the camera...

Our little guys really does love to dance!
