Sshezzsh

On Sunday evening, while Ben was eating some macaroni and making a unbelievable mess of his high chair tray, his face and his hair, he looked at the table, saw half a cheese stick and said "Shezzsh" which, as anyone can tell you, means cheese.

Holy shit.

Apparently, the kid not only repeats sounds, but appears to be able to match words with objects. Crazy.

And since then, he has correctly identified a car, a duck, a ball and his bottle. Without prompting.

I know that all babies do this, and I know that it is totally ridiculous to think that "ca" is actually car, but it is all amazing to me. That blob of cells that we almost left in the freezer can say "cheese." Un-freaking-believable.

  1. That's awesome.

    I'm with you on how incredible this whole thing is. The fact that the tiny spheres of cells I've got a picture of on my fridge now look like tiny babies with bones and hearts and brains just amazes me every single day. It's awesome.

  7. cute cute cute! I am so excited for you all. Mads can point to "shoes" if you ask her, but other than that I haven't seen evidence of much word comprehension, more just "tone" comprehension...
