words?

Ellie has been saying "Wow", nay, "oooh wow" for a while, though I would be inclined to think it is just a sound as such but she does use it with the right facial expression, pointing at somehting new or flashy (sigh...so bright!) She was playing wit a little chicken torch that Hannah gave her, that clucks as it shines ( was a hit from day 1) and she started saying "duck-duck-duck-duck" with a huge grin. "duck" as in mimicking the sound, not an attempt to identify the fowl, she is not that advanced!  :) Also in Borders yesterday I was reading her a touch and feel book that said "woof" a lot and she was imitating the woof! So precious. For the rest of the time she wandered round as they are prone to do (I love their little waddle) bringing me "In the Night Garden" board books and soft toys. Alfredo has been off wince Friday and is off again today and we are enjoying lots of fun things-  car boot sale, Borders, temple trip, lunch-and-play in Ikea (now that I am analysing it we seem to have been in retail establishments quite a lot!) Charlottes Web home cinema, park etc ........more soon.
