words

jake has added some new words to his vocabulary here lately. i thought i should write them down before i forget. here they are ::

ki-ki - kitty

puh-pee - puppy

O-wow - oh wow

O-my - oh my

da-dee - daddy (with lots of emphasis on the "dee" part)

ma-mee - mommy (with lots of emphasis on the "mee" part)

ba-ba - barbara

dat - that

go-go - go

ga-ga - gone gone

buh-buh - bye bye (accompanied by a wave and sometimes blowing a kiss)

pop-pa - papa

me-me - grandma (we think)

uh-oh - uh-oh (he says that one very clearly)

unh-uh - no (with his head shaking no)

ya-ya-ya - not sure what this one is but he does it and shakes his head back and forth from side to side

and for sign language he's mastered "more" "light"and "toothbrush"

we've got quite the talker and i don't mind a bit. i'm glad he's developing language skills. he can "jibber-jabber" all he wants. i love to listen to it!

and just to brag a little more....jake catches onto everything thing we do. he knows how to get water out of the water dispenser on the refrigerator all by himself (hence the picture above). he can flush the toilet (which was dangerous for a while...but with a little discipline, he's gotten much better). he picks up his blocks and puts them back in the bucket. he watches us. he's so observant. i'm really hoping that he continues to be a fast learner.
