we are all in the spirit of learning around here. Christian and I with school and Enzo is learning some new words.
Enzo says a couple things now. He says a Luz, esse, olha, azul, agua, papa and mom (light, this, look, blue, water, papa and mom). He doesn't pronounce them all perfectly, but it all sounds very cute. He also doesn't know that blue means the color blue. He just repeats it whenever we say it. Though he does like saying it over and over again. I think it's ironic that the only word he says in English is mom. It is very distinctively mom and not mae or mama or mamae (Portuguese sounds for mom). The way he says it sounds very British, like mum.
He's also learning a lot of new baby signs. The process has been successful at times and confusing at others. We are now working on the signs for dog and cat. The way you do dog is by hitting your leg as if you were calling a dog. I showed him this while looking at his board books of dog. Now whenever he sees a dog he runs over to me and hits MY leg. As for cat you make whiskers with your hands on your face. Since the dog thing wasn't so successful I decided to show how to sign for cat on his face. Now when he sees a cat or when I say the word cat he comes to me gets my hand and wants me to do the whiskers on his face instead of doing it by himslef. Hummm...something is definitely getting lost in translation.
we are well. Life got busy very fast. I once again LOVE Sundays and the fact that I actually rest. General conference was incredible. A lot of learning definitely happened last weekend as well.
I can't wait for this weekend. kaity and Danny, I think noelle and shelly and steve!!!! So fun!

He's looking taller. I think signs also count as words. Going to some daycare screening made mariko feel like amaya is behind. ridiculous. she signs cat backwards (whiskers from out to in). wish i could come this weekend too. love you.

i am jealous of enzo speaking portuguese and baby sign language. i tried to teach Gio how to sign "celebrate" but he never seemed very interested.
i am really excited to come down to santa cruz!!
That's funny Pam, that's exactly how keahi use to sign Cat
