First Words

It amazes me every day how much Oliver has been understanding and in how many languages he has been understanding me and Kristell.  He also FINALLY has been spitting out actual words.  I never thought this would happen but yes I am on my way to raise a tri-lingual kid (if everything goes as planned)

His first word is "top" which means ball in Albanian and his second word is "xixa" [g-ee-g-a] which means hot in reference to food and open flames (literately it means to spark).  He wakes up after his naps on the weekend and the first thing that comes out of his mouth is "top" - I sit him down to eat and the second he sees steam he points and sais xix (he hasn't reached to the second syllable yet) and poor Kristell will have her hands full with him when he starts talking in anything else besides english or spanish LOL 

He has some other strange sound tongue twisting sounds that come out of his mouth that just don't sound human but I guess it will help him down the road when the actual talking starts ;)  

Most recently I have been asking him to show me where is nose is (also in albanian) and I am very proud to say that he now knows where his nose and his ears are :)
