Danke!

New words continue to creep into the DP Fussler's vocabulary, including a German one, danke. When he wants you to hold something for him, he thrusts it at you and says "Danke!" How kewt is that?!
I have tried to add German words here and there and we say two prayers in German everyday since he was born. I don't know how much will rub off, but it is a start.

Newer words in English recently include chair, cheese, moon, tree and something unclear that means "turn the Christmas tree lights on." Chair is especially troubling as chair means "I am going to climb onto a kitchen CHAIR and maybe even the kitchen table" and today it meant falling off said chair and getting bumped and scraped and having a crying fit.
Cheese is ok, except it means, "I won't eat a dang thing on my plate unless it is covered in shredded cheese and then maybe I will only eat the cheese off of it..." And he used to be such a good eater...

Latest vocab

DP Fussler's vocabulary is coming along nicely. Recently words like more, home, house, and other more recognizable words are creeping into his babbling. The babbling is still very kewt though and we love to listen to it. Sometime his babbling sounds like the announcer on the tv show "Ninja Warrior." Hysterical.

After a month of relatively good health, the daycare germs hit Fussler hard again last night with some serious spew and poo. We had our first big snowstorm of the season last night and we were looking forward to a snuggle night at home together. Well, we sure were home together, but we were mostly comforting the DP Fussler, each other, doing laundry and cleaning the carpet and shoes (there was so much spew in was going into my shoes...) Fussler seems much better today, so with any luck, we might all get some sleep tonight.
