Cute Things Elijah is Saying and Doing

So Elijah has been doing and saying some of the cutest things recently.

• When he wants to do something by himself he proclaims over and over "ziji" which is the Chinese word for "myself".
• When he puts something back where it belongs or puts the right block through the right hole on a toy, he exclaims "yea!". I'm sure he picked this up because I am always saying "yea!" to him when he does things well.
• He still struggles with certain sounds: "f", "l", and "w". Thus, "fan" becomes "dan", "light" becomes "deng" (actually this is the Chinese word for light), and "water" still remains "ma-mer".
• He calls out "mama" all day everyday and then when I respond to him he begins talking to me in lots of jibberish which seems to make perfect sense to him.
• One word he can say absolutely perfectly every single time is "cookie". Go figure!
• He loves to crow like a rooster (he hears them all day from the patio below our apartment).
• As can be expected he often confuses Chinese words and English words which makes it difficult for us to know exactly what he is trying to say at all times, but which encourages us to know that he will someday be bi-lingual.
• He shouts out "Jesus" randomly and always joins us in saying "Amen" at the end of prayer times.

Now for one of the cutest things he is doing right now...
