words & ideas

Luke has been talking for about six months now, and in the past month he has really had a torrent of new words. So many that I probably couldn't count them -- 100+. In the last week or so, another big cognitive shift has happened. He's started to talk about memories and thoughts. After our trip east, Luke woke up every morning with the refrain, "Gammy Gammy Gammy!" When he and I "talked" about it, he was thinking of the wonderful afternoon he spent with Grammy, Sesa, Kevin and Megan. And last weekend we rode the steam train at the SF Zoo. This week, Luke's been saying: train, tunnel, bubbles! You guessed it: the train at the zoo went thru a tunnel and let loose a shower of bubbles in the tunnel!! For abour the millionth time, I wonder where my baby has gone. He's grown up so fast.
