Shizza!

What is shizza you ask? 

Why, it's PIZZA, of course! 

Last night, we had pizza for dinner.  DJ was already scarfing down his portion, and I sat down with my plate in front of Elektra.  She patiently waited for me to cut her a piece, and then said, "Shizza!"  I held up the whole piece and asked her what it was.  "Shizza!"  And thus, her new word of the day. 

After dinner, she also very clearly said "ball" in reference to a little ball she likes to play with.  I can't remember hearing her say it before, but I'm pretty sure Eleanor and Sonny have heard her say it.

I think she was trying to say "necklace" last night, too, but that didn't come out very clearly, so I'm withholding judgment on that one!

Eleanor told me yesterday that Elektra's been pulling out the changing pad and laying down on it when she wants to be changed.  Elektra had done this for Steve while we were on vacation ('cation, as DJ called it which then turned into "the beach house") in South Carolina.  In Steve's case, Elektra went as far as pulling out a diaper, too!
