New words

After spending a week with Mema Mary, Jake came back knowing how to say "Thank You" (in Jakenese: "TAAA-KU!"). Ever since, I have been trying to teach him new words. Here's how it's going so far:

(Holding up a duck in the bathtub last night)
ME: Jake, say "DUCK! DUCK!"
JAKE: "Duhhh... DA DA!"

(Feeding Jake)
ME: Say "MORE! MOOORE!"
JAKE: "Mmmuuu... MA MA!"

(Jake waves a spoon at dinner time)
ME: "Jake, say SPOON! SPOOOON!"
JAKE: "DA DA!"

Yeah... he might have to go back to Mema's if he ever wants to learn anything other than "DADA" and "MAMA"....
