The Things They Say, Vol. 1

 Back in the boys' 18 month update I included words that each one of them were saying.  Since this is something that is constantly changing as they are learning more and more everyday I wanted to do a few updates from time to time with a little bit more detail...I think it will be fun to look back and remember not only what they were saying but the context in which they were saying it.  So...here are a few of my favorite things the E's are saying right now...

weee and whoa:

1. What the boys say when we are driving in the car and we stop fast, turn a corner, go down a hill, etc.
2. What the boys say when they play with their toy cars and the car goes down a hill.
