expanding vocabulary

,Jonathan's vocabulary keeps surprising me. In addition to being fascinated by shoes, he has recently picked up the ability to say the word "toes". "d" and "t" are pretty similar, so it sounds a lot like how he says "dog", but he definitely means "toes" and thinks it is fun to hang a toy from his toes, or grab something with them like a little monkey and then proudly declare "toes"! It makes me laugh almost every time.

We were at the small park by our house recently and for some reason, there was a large tractor/back-hoe/bulldozer parked near the playground. Jonathan was immediately in awe (I think this must be a universal little boy thing) and spent the entire time at the playground trying to enunciate "tractor". Most of his attempts sounded like "car-car", but by the time we left he was making a slightly different vowel sound for the 2nd syllable: "car-cuuuur".
