First Words

Odin has started trying out a few words lately. He's been saying "momma" and "dadda" for a while, but recently there have been a few new ones...

Swedish words: momma, hej (hello), där (there - or children use it to ask the question, "what is there?") and nej (no).

English words: dadda, no and a word that sort of sounds like either cup or coffee; we are pretty sure it is coffee b/c he gets really excited when dadda makes coffee.

Odin also understands both English and Swedish. This past weekend when we traveled with Anita and Keneth they only spoke Swedish to him and he really seemed to understand what they were saying. Here Anita is teaching Odin to say "apple" in Swedish.
And Kenneth taught Odin how to wrench a finger!
