A growing boy!

Andrew is 19 months now and growing like a weed--an adorable, noisy, and charming weed.  My brilliant boy now says a handful of words in his precious little way.  Here are a few:

bottle: "bough -towl"

milk: "maaw"

bye-bye: "bye-bye"

more: "muh"

all done:  "ah da"

dog: "d-d-d-dowg"

Daddy: "daddy"

Mommy: "Mama" though much to Mommy's dismay, "Mama" is often confused with plants, toys, etc.. 

Katherine/sister: "Na-na" 

Papa: "Pop-pa"

wow: "wow"

uh-oh: "uh-oh"  he's VERY good at this one--especially BEFORE he drops something

yes: "yeeah"

no: "no" with a firm head shake to reaffirm his distaste

book: "boo"

ball: "bawl"


I'm sure some of his other ramblings make sense to him, but we have yet to decipher them.  :)   He also has some sign language in his vocabulary.  He knows how to say "all done", "milk", "juice" and "more" by sign.

I love this age--it's a time of such excitement as the world becomes a bit bigger each day. 

I love that everything warrants a "WOW" from this inquisitive little man.  

...and I LOVE. THIS. BOY!
