Alex is starting to talk more and more and getting really good at repeating things we ask him to say. Some of his latest words are:

• Tickle - "coo-coo" He actually asks for tickles!
• Color - "colla" to color with his crayons
• Yogurt - "gogut"
• Wash - "waf" to wash his hands at the sink
• Bath - "baf"
• Girl - "gull"
• Not new, but he totally has "touchdown" down with arms and everything!
• Row, Row, Row your boat - he goes up to daddy and says Row, Row? so that he can sit on daddy's lap and row daddy's arms while daddy sings the song
• When we take him out in the cold now, he goes "Brrr"
• He doesn't watch a lot of TV, but he does like the 2 shows we let him watch - Blue's Clues ("Coo-Cooos") and Jack's Big Music Show (either "Jack's" or "Shoooww")
• Bear - this is new because he has a little halloween dracula bear and a regular teddy bear that he when he wants them, he must have both. He doesn't like to play with them either, he just wants to get them from his room. He'll say "Bee" for the bears.
• He's just starting to learn how to count. When we say 1, he'll say 2. After that he'll repeat the numbers after we say them.
• He also loves the alphabet right now. Once he hears it or we start singing it, he tries to say it too, but it mostly comes out at "Ah-chee, Ah-chee." He has said "S" in the right spot of the song a few times too. He'll repeat us through a few letters, so he's getting there.
• His friends at daycare are Sophie, Audrey and Logan. He seems to have more trouble with Sophie but can say "Audie" and Lo Lo - which is what they call Logan at daycare. He often says "bye bye Lo Lo" even at home. When I was telling him the colors of his blocks this evening and said yellow, he repeated loudly "Lo Lo"
