I keep forgetting that William will grow up. Like, in my mind, he will be a baby forever. A cute, tiny, smily, giggly baby.

Children do grow up, don't they? (And I wonder how the hell I can forget that...)

[emmacrew]

He's nearly WALKING. I can't believe it.

[ohsochewy]

Geez, how old is he?

[emmacrew]

He's going to be one in a little over a week.

Sam isn't saying anything! Occasionally, when she can't find us, she'll crawl through the house yelling MA! or DA!, and every now and then we get an almost "bye-bye" or "hi." But nothing definitive yet.

But I attribute it all to Emily, who won't let Sam get a word in edgewise. She has a huge vocabulary for a 3-4 year old and never. shuts. up. :)

One day Sam is just going to explode with words I think. She's definitely a thinker.

hahahahaha NICE! Now to teach him to knit! :P

I chuckled at his pronounciation of "boobie." I know many grown men who say it that same way, usually followed by a giggle. O_o

[emmacrew]

He mostly says that when I think he's done nursing before HE thinks he's done, and he'll pull on my shirt and said "boobeh?" in a mournful little tone.

Now can you teach me to pronounce "Koigu"? :) And "Kureyon" while you're at it?

[emmacrew]

Koigu is, I think, COY-goo. At least, that's what everyone around here says. Kureyon is a transliteration of the Japanese approximation of "crayon," so I mostly just say crayon, though I suppose it's technically closer to "koo-ray-on."

I need never be embarrassed in a yarn shop again :) Thank you!
