Luke's literary preferences
Who Says "Quack?" has long been a favorite of Luke's. At first he would be very excited and jump up and down while you read it. Later, when he could say "Duh!" he'd yell out the punch line during the book. These days, he's started adding in the sounds made by the other animals, too. To any ears but mine it probably just sounds like noise, but I know that "peee" is the chicks, "aaaaa" is the sheep, (and the goat) and "meeee" is the cat. And of course, he still yells out the punchline, usually even at the right time!
Another favorite is Snow Bear, but Luke is never patient enough to let me read it. He likes to look at the animals, feel the texture on the pages, and make signs for the animals in the book. Particular favorites in this book are the birds and the bunny.
Where does Maisy Live? is also very popular. In addition to loving the (very durable) flaps, he's saying "cluck" quite recognizably, and even has been saying "ar" (for the dog, you know, arf), and "naaay" for the horses.
He also loves the Carl books, and for some reason points to a clock and says "clock" remarkable well when we're reading that one.
I guess this post turned out to be mostly about language development. Luke has been trying to mimic a lot more sounds over the past few days. He says the start of lots and lots of words, but still has very few that are complete (clock, duck... that may be it). And he's yelling right now, so with that, we end.
