More Words

I didn't want this to be another post without a picture, so here are a couple that illustrate a few of Cole's new favorite words. :) He's learning faster and faster and it's hard to remember everything he says and to write it down. These are the ones we can remember. The more he talks, the more it cracks me up. He's learning new words all the time and applying old ones in new ways. What a funny little guy!! We love your personality, Cole! Thanks to all the family for teaching him new stuff over Christmas! I guess we need to get out more so he can keep learning more words. Here are some of his latest:

(This picture was taken last weekend at Joshua Tree. By the end of the day Cole could actually get sand from the ground to the shovel to the bucket.)

Cole has also suprised us over the last few days by finally deciding to make some animal sounds. Before he has just laughed at us when we make the sounds (I can't blame him) :)

So far he makes the sounds for elephant, duck, monkey, cow, sheep & owl.
