It's almost Spring, y'all!

Jimmy has been on a roll lately telling me which things belong to "Himmy" and which things belong to "Baby Honny" and my heart is about to explode!

That is so ridiculously cute @AllyTheKid
V is getting better with her words everyday but I think it would be hard for a stranger to understand her clearly. Some of the things she says are spill, oh no, book, broom and love you. Not always super clear but oh so sweet.

so far Abigail's dominate language is swahili... which makes sense since she's around it the most... but the only recognizable english word she has is "bye"

Johnny can say Thank You, Uh Oh, Bye, Meow Meow, Awesome (always accompanied by a high five- always), Sock, Shoe, Kiss, Mom, Dad, and No is his most recent favorite. I think there may be a few more that have slipped my mind, but not many. So that's where we are in that department. 
@brzvice I don't think strangers would be abke to decipher what the boys say either, it's just of those things you have to watch develope to understand!
@kmolleltz Do you guys use Swahili and English equally at home?

@allythekid no, swahili is our dominate home language. And my MIL who babysits her when I'm at work doesnt know English. I try to be intention when its just me and her to speak english, and if we are with any of my american friends we speak English. But it's def something I know I need to work on more.

We are starting to get more words now. I was concerned at first but had to listen better to really get what she was saying. She says Hi, bye, bubbles, quack quack, mama, uh oh, and oopsie just to name a few. But if course she’ll only repeat when she feels like it  . The daycare she goes to is predominantly Hispanic so hopefully she’s picking up some Spanish also.
