For a while, Scott has had a few words that only we can identify, sounds that I doubt anyone else could recognize. For example, he says "Beh" for fan and "Da-Doo" for rabbit. He also has semi-recognizable versions of "Daddy", "Mama", "Up" and "All-gone", plus a decent dog's bark, an owl's hoot and an ambulance siren.
Lately he has been adding some more sounds, like the "Vrmmm" of a truck and the "t-t-t" for "Hot" (accompanied by blowing out air and waving his hand). However, last night he uttered what is probably his most clearly intelligible word to date: "Night-night". R was taking him out of the living room to go put him to bed, and telling him to wave night-night to me -- as usual. This time, instead of just waving, Scott suddenly said "Nigh-Nigh" in a very clear voice. We were both kind of shocked.
R says that we are entering the thrilling stage where children start to pick up new words at a tremendous pace. How exciting.
R's right. It seems like once kids start to figure out a few words the floodgates just open up. Brace yourself for a barrage of very cute stuff!
ReplyDeleteHe can also say "no, no, no, no", but we weren't as excited about that.
ReplyDeleteThat boy is so dang cute!
ReplyDeleteViolet's first word occured a year ago, and it is still exciting to hear her say new things. Enjoy!
Anders started saying "ders a dead fwoggy in my wroom". Hes been right twice!
ReplyDeleteWow, just hope Scott's new language does not include a dead frog! You'll have lots of fun hearing him explore new words. Are you writing them down in a journal or just using this blog?
