"Thank you" & "Hold you"

Well, really it's "Kank Koo." For a while now we've been teaching Grant to say "please" and "thank you." He's been saying "please" (actually "peas") for some time now but just recently has he been saying "thank you" after we give him something... usually food. Today for lunch he must have said it 10 times after every piece of food I gave him. It was very sweet and of course made me so proud that we have such a polite litte guy. Let's just hope it continues!!

Another precious thing he says is "hold you" when he wants to be held. I'm guessing that he picked that up because I've said, "Do you want mommie to hold you?" Even when I'm in the middle of making supper or busy cleaning, it melts my heart when he says, "Hold you mama, hold you" and I will usually stop and pick him up.

His vocabulary is really exploding. One day last week I started writing down all the words he's saying and I literally filled an entire page! Of course there are many words that are only understandable to Mike and I!

How exciting! What a great little talker you have. It's so sweet when they start saying things like that. It just makes you melt.
