More baby talk

[rootofnewt]

Ronan loves balloons and can spot them from blocks away. "boon! BOON! boonboonboon!" He points and leans and bounces excitedly. We often buy him mylar balloons. They not only come with kick-ass heavyduty clips (nice for chips), they don't contain rubber. "Boon! Boon!" I can't get past the checkout without talking about balloons.

He also uses it for the moon.

Of other interest are balls. Any ball. He'll bounce and reach toward the ball. Dog toys, his toys, any ball.

Round buoys? "Ball."
Hanging toys for monkeys? "Ball ball!"
Food toys for bears? "BALL!"
The large, round, red car barriers at Target? "Ball!"

I'm not sure, but I think he called out "ball" after seeing a series of puffballs in a neighbor's yard last week.

I simply love watching kids develop, and the development of language is simply amazing. Eilidh is also infatuated with balloons and the moon. Over the past few months she's learned to say, "I love you," and I find it endearing and hilarious to hear her say, "Moon, moon... I love you!" Perhaps we have an astronomer in our future?

P.S. Love the Radioflyer airplane in the photo. :)

Ah, boons. Mouse *still* pretty much calls them that. And they are still a popular toy.
