The boy has had a language explosion. It's true that we cannot decipher a large number of these new words but I would say that, at this point, he's saying between 2-5 new things every day. Here is a sampling of words he has said lately.
-wall
-ear
-eye
-guitar (pointed at a picture of one and said gee-ar)
-me
-door
-two (we ask him to say he is two and put his fingers up--we're practicing for next month. He puts his whole hand in this strange position and says doo. It's funny.)
I'm drawing a blank. I'll have to ask him what other words he knows when he wakes up from his nap. Speaking of his nap, he started sobbing this afternoon when he thought I was going to make him sleep in his room. He took my hand and walked me all the way down to the basement where his Pack n Play is still set up in the bathroom. When I put him in there he went right to sleep. You want to know what I love the most about being a mother? I love that even when he is having a very "Doo" day, I laugh. Every day is just hilarious.
I had no idea our little guys were so close in age! We've been practicing the two fingers thing for next month, too!
ReplyDeleteI love when the language explosions happen. It's absolutely amazing to see how much they're capable of learning.
