First Real Word

I’m pleased to announce that Rayce has officially said his first real word. Ready for it? No laughing! He says hungry! Of course he doesn’t say it just like that, he actually says “ungy”. Love it! He walks around all the time now saying ungy, ungy. I never thought this would be his first real word. I was thinking more along the lines of puppy or dog because he loves both. Oh well what can you do? Hungry it is!

I hope everyone has a great week. Our isn't starting out so good but I will save that for a separate post.

Straps? What straps?

Rayce managed to wiggle himself out of his highchair straps. I tell you this kid learns something new everyday. He continues to test me, day in and day out. Now that he is walking everywhere he constantly keeps me on my toes. Some days I just can’t keep up with him. I’ll turn my head for a brief second and he’s into something that I’d never thought he’d be into.

On the flip side, it’s so neat just to sit and watch him learning new things. He’s so bright. He can now relates different things to certain words. For an example I’ll say, “are you hungry, do you want to eat?” and he’ll either look or walk over to his highchair. Some of his other favorites are hot and bye bye. He associates the word hot with the stove. He learned that one real quick because when I bake he likes to touch the stove and I always say no, hot. He also knows when I say “bye bye” to go to the door. I can see those chains turning in there. It’s so cute.


I love this kid, his smile truly sets me free!
