It's like a toddler word-bomb has gone off in our house! New words left and right. Coming at you when least expected! John, stickler as he is, still won't count any of them as official words until they are a) pronounced correctly and b) proven that he knows what they mean in multiple situations. His list of approved words adds up to about 4. My list however is as follows:
- NO!
- Daddy
- Ball
- Ball ball (football on TV)
- Nye Nye (night night)
- Bobble (bottle)
- Kiddie (Kitty)
- Doggie
- Eye
- Ahh (ear, that took me a while to figure out)
- Noo (nose)
- Mou (mouth)
- Nice (meaning pet the kitty nicely)
- Pea
- Bean (green bean)
He says "Gree gree" a lot but I don't know what it means yet and I caught him saying "yum yum" once , but I think it may be a fluke. Also, I've been having him watch these DVD's that are supposed to help him learn to read early. I never really bought into the idea that my little baby could actually learn to read, but we watch them anyway, you know, just in case it does work. To my surprise, the other day, when we got to the part where it displays just the word "NO" on the screen (there is no sound or indicator for what it says, just the letters) and Alex looked at me and shook his head no while saying "NO!". Now, I'm pretty sure that could have been a fluke, he could have just decided at that moment that "NO! I don't want to watch this stupid DVD anymore Mom!" but man, quite the coincidence, and I'm going to be telling the story of how my 15 month old son learned to read for years to come.
