A Valentine Serenade

Micah man loooooves reading and one of his favorites is a book adaptation of Raffi's "Down By the Bay" probably because it involves some pretty sweet singing. I still remember learning the tune in elementary school but Jed gets the liberty of making up a new melody every time he sings it. I love listening in! When you ask Micah to sing a song, he generally sings something along the lines of "Dow by bee" and then it dissolves into some sort of baby babble. BUT, the other day in the car he was managing the whole first line with incredible precision. As soon as we were safely parked at the YMCA, I whipped out my phone to try and capture it on film. Hear it for yourself!



I truly think that language acquisition is one of the most fascinating developments to watch. Micah's vocabulary grows every day and he is now starting to group words. Not really making full sentences but he knows which words go together. For example:

Dadda Work Bicycle

and

Copley Vacuum Chew No

Other favorite words in use these days:
Shovel
Baby
Bulldodo (Bulldozer)
Boots
Orange

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! Hope you have a day full of love and laughter!
