A friend of ours gave Trip this balloon the other day and it has provided hours of entertainment. Most of the time he is not playing with the balloon itself, he simply has it by his side. The few times he has been without it, he says "Boon! Boon!" until I retrieve the balloon for him. This obsession with balloons began with his book "Fly High" that has a page about hot air balloons. At first I thought he was confusing the hot air balloon with a ball, but realized that he knew exactly what a "boon" was when I took him to the grocery store and he pointed out all of the balloons in the flower area of the store. His love for balloons is complete now that he has his very own to take with him everywhere he goes!
Other words Trip has picked up on lately:
-Brush ("Bersss")
-Bat (he prounces this perfectly and knows that the bat hits the ball)
-Lion ("Roooaaar")
Another funny story ... His new favorite book is called "Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What do you see?" and one of the pages has a blue Sea Lion on it. Every time I turn to this page, Trip says "roooaaar" because he knows that is what a Lion says. I'm not sure that I would even know how to explain to a one-year-old that a sea lion is something totally different than a lion.)
New Signs:
-Fan
-Light (he's hit or miss on this)
I think that 1 is my favorite age so far, but then again, I've said that at every stage. Trip is so funny and smart and loving. He is such a joy to spend my days with and I am really trying to cherish this stage of his life.
