Five things I'm certain Alex is saying

We've begun to translate Alexese and are pretty sure he is saying the following words:

1. "Daddy"  =  Daddy



2. "No!" and "Nine!" = No (I have no idea why he speaks German)



3. "Ba!" =  Ball or any round object, or object that can be made round by scrunching it up in your hand.  Surprisingly "Ba Ba" seems to mean  Football on TV.



4. "Tee" and sometimes "Tee Tee" =  Kitty



5. "Eye" and "Noos" = Eye and nose, which he helpfully demonstrates by poking your eyeball and sticking his finger in your nostril.

Also pending confirmation are:

• "Doggie"



• "puppy" (why he has two distinct words for dog and we don't even have one is beyond me)



• "Boob"



• "Hey" - which is his version of "hi"
