In the past few weeks Bear’s vocabulary has exploded. Now, I’m sure that Jay, Jack and I understand far more than any one who’s not used to his baby dialect but still, it’s exciting for us. After almost 16 months of saying barely anything here’s what he’s saying now:
1. “Way to go!”
2. “Where a you?” (he always says this when I step over the baby gate to get something out of one of the bedrooms)
3. “Ready, set, go!” (when he jumps to one of us in the pool or from the table, counter or coffee table)
4. “Jackie” (his most common and first word)
5. “Mommy”
6. “Daddy” (he usually calls both Jay and I daddy)
7. “Gaga” (although using Jackson’s g-less dialect he says dada for gaga).
8. “Let’s go!” (he always grabs his shoes and runs to the back door shouting this)
9. “Bye bye”
10. “Love you” (usually accompanied by a kiss)
11. “You heard it, I tooted!” (sounds more like “you her I too!” and you guessed it, was picked up from his older brother. Jackson sings a song similar to that when he toots.)
12. For nurse he says “engouw” I have no idea about this word, maybe he is borrowing some Lentronics?
13. “Thank you” (sounds more like “dank ou”)
14. “No”
15. “Yay!”
16. “Whoa!”
17. “Water” (sounds like “enngaaaa”)
18. “Ready!”
19. “1, 2, 3!”
20. “Nelmo” (elmo)
21. “doggie”
I love that when Bear sees a picture of an animal or baby he immediately kisses it. He also loves stuffed animals and dolls and runs to snuggle them. After snuggling them he usually pats them on the back and then rocks and sings to them. He’s got a cute version of lullaby that is mostly mumbling but you can tell what he’s trying to sing. He’s such a sweet and tender little man and watching him grow and develop is such a joy to all of us!
