New Word Wednesday

Here are our new words for the week:

Kyran:

Kitty-cat (he has said this before a couple of times, but now is saying it a lot!)

Book

Meow
Go
Trees
I think he may have also said "up there" and "right there" a few times, but I'm not completely sure.

Karyssa:

Diaper (once)
Daniel (my friend, Jenn's son, with whom we went to Gatlinburg)
What's that? (I'm almost positive this is what she said while pointing to the toilet flusher)
Cocky (The University of South Carolina mascot...this comes out as ca or ca.......ky, when she gets the cocky doll)
Go Gamecocks (this is more like go...ga...ca, but she says it right after the cocky doll plays the fight song!)
Go
Baa (like a sheep)
Kitty-cat or cat

They have been repeating so much, I know I'm missing some things, but those were the ones they said a lot. 

It's not just words they have been repeating.  It is so, so obvious now that they are watching our every move and trying to imitate our actions as well.  Last night, Jason accidentally taught Kyran to spit, they are constantly trying to flush the toilet, drink (or pretend to drink) from glasses and put on sunglasses and shoes, and Karyssa is now attempting to latch everything from her seat belt to our laptop bag. 

I've also been incredibly impressed with a new skill this week.  For their birthday, they were given this toy.

All they did with it at first was bang the pieces together, so I put it away.  I try to alternate their toys so that every once in a while, they feel like they are getting new ones.  So, this was our new toy yesterday.  I spilled it all out, and let them play while I was doing some cleaning.  I came back in and Karyssa had them all together, in order (except the 3 was out of place).  I was flabbergasted!  I was also amazed later that afternoon when Kyran, with minimal prompting, did just about the same!  I had so much fun just watching them use trial and error to get the cups stacked time and time again!

One last note, and I won't go into details, because they will both read this one day, but tonight, in the bath tub, Karyssa realized that there is something different between her and Kyran.  The look on her face was priceless!

In downtown Gatlinburg - Kyran was looking good in his sunglasses!

Today, Karyssa decided she wanted to wear Mr. Potato Head's teeth.  They're a little crooked, but it was hilarious!
