Here are some of the words that Ephraim uses:

I am sure there are a few words that I am missing. Not bad for a 20 month old, huh? And that doesn't even count all fun sounds he can make! He is even starting to put together words into small sentences. One of his first sentences was: "Cookie, please?" Isn't that cute?

Here are some other fun things Ephraim does...
Whenever we come into the house from the garage, Ephraim asks "Ding-dong, please?". He just loves to ring the doorbell!

The other night when we were outside I showed Ephraim the stars and told him "twinkle stars!", to which he replied, "ginkle tar"! So cute!

If you watched the video below, then you saw how Ephraim tries to say "To infinity and Beyond!" just like Jacob. Apparently Ephraim likes Buzz Lightyear as much as Jacob does! When we put on his Buzz Lightyear pajamas, Ephraim will point to himself and say, "Buzz!" excitedly! Aren't my boys funny?

It is so much fun to have Ephraim talking. He figures out how to say new things every day, and it sure is making our lives a little easier!
