Aleksi's Exploding Vocabulary

Aleksi is talking nonstop. Daily, sometimes even hourly, he comes up with a new word or a phrase and we are so excited.  Somehow he has become this little boy and I think he is really happy and proud of it. 

Tonight he pointed to "where the baby is" and then when I asked him who he was "a boy" he proudly said.

He is constantly asking "where did ukki/mummi/isi/äiti/saku/tatu go?" He doesn't know how to say his name or Eerika's name yet. 

Finnish words that he has learned in the past two weeks:

kissa
palju
mökki
nakki
pulla
naku
tutti

While it isnt a new word, he was happy to point out the plenty of nänni at uimahalli. Aleksi loved the vauva pool. Vauva is also a reference to anything small in addition to an actual vauva. 

He loves to say the word bum. He asks to go "eat" when he wakes up, even if he isn't really that hungry.  

It's wonderful that some things, like watching your kid learn new things, never get old even if it is your third kid.
