Just Beat It!

We were talking about the various ways our older two kids said things when they were learning to talk. We laughed as we remembered Edward's pronunciation of music as "mus-gic" and Emily's rhinoceros as "nos-a-nos." The local Target store was called "Skoo-doos," pizza was "pizbah," and M&M candies were "Ms-a-Ms."

Ethan, who turns 11 months old tomorrow (egads!), has begun trying to coordinate his mouth and vocal chords for his own versions. And already he's learned to say, "Hi!" and Daddy -- sometimes as "Da-ee" or "Nadee" -- and "Ni-Ni" and "Up!" Our favorite is when he whispers, "Wow!"

He's a huge fan of music so today I decided to capture his newest "talent" of beating out a tune on his toy xylophone. Enjoy!
