we have some new words to add to finnie's list. his doctor told me i wouldn't be able to count them by the time he turned 18 months which is fine with me because i have no interest in math. language is so awesome! why kill it with numbers?
ok...firetruck (every truck is a firetruck and i think we reinforced this by taking him to the fire department and letting him sit in the big one and push all the buttons), car, fish, squirrel (sounds like "kwuul"), please, cookie (sign language and regular ol baby talk),cracker, jacket, keys, poo-poo, tee-tee (we're learning where to put these), head, hair, nose, eyes, banana, star, coffee (sounds like ka-ka), pumpkin, apple and night night.
those are the ones i recall right now. and the ones i can decipher. they say that babies might label everything with one word they like such as 'ball' for all toys or "baba" when they want food or drink. the only thing i've heard like that in finnie is that he's constantly saying "da-da". and sometimes i know he means his dad. but other times he's grabbing a blanket or his jacket and you can hear a subtle difference in his speech. to me that's the fun part of this time in parenting. i have a walking talking treasure map that is leading me to problem solving gold.
