Elmo

I started this post back before the computer died, and then I wanted to wait to upload the picture. That is her Elmo-watching-face.

So Jane somehow figured out Elmo, too. We don't have any Elmo toys and I've tried to get her to watch Sesame Street a half dozen times or so during that first trimester, but she wasn't much interested. And all of a sudden she is obsessed! Her favorite, most enthusiastic word! When she first shouted it, I didn't even know she knew who he was. She does have a cousin nine months older that loves Elmo, so maybe she's seen it at his house? Crazy!

After a week of tuning into Sesame Street a little more regularly, she also says Abby, Zoe, and Big Bird by name and grunts for Oscar the Grouch. Eric dislikes Elmo's World quite a bit, apparently there is such a thing as TOO silly for one Eric Ludlow (I know, I'm amazed as well). I tolerate it because it means she's not destroying anything for 15 minutes and because she really does enjoy it. Except Mr. Noodle. Sometimes he scares her.
