First Word

Eli is starting to mimic sounds he hears, like Grandma’s sneezing and certain words.  Eli has a blanket that has whimsical Noah’s arc animals on it and Daddy is always pointing to it and asking “What’s this?”  After awhile, Eli started to mimic the word “This.”  It sounds like “hiss.”  I guess you could say that is his first word. 

He also mimic’s body sound’s like farting.  He sticks out his toungue and blows.  Afterwards he laughs and looks around for other’s to laugh also.  He is only 9 months and already he has a boy’s sense of humor.
