Words

Jesse is now 26 months old. Time sure flies. Since Jesse's vocabulary changes so much (gets larger, then smaller, than larger, then smaller....you get the idea) I thought it would be a good idea to document what he's saying every month or so. It'll give me an written record of his progress. So here goes:

Mom, Momber, Bamber  (refers to me)

Da, Daddy (refers to Steve)

Josh (in reference to his cousin and his uncle - sounds like "dosh")

hi

baby

up

juice (sounds like "dooce")

pop (both in reference to  popping bubbles and a couple of times to refer to his grandfather)

bubbles (sounds like "babas" - this is new as of today)

thank-you (sounds like "ah-su," which doesn't really sound like thank-you, but we're convinced that's what it means)

no

this

oh

boo

uh oh


This list has grown nicely in the last week or so actually. Juice, pop, bubbles, no, baby, and hi are all pretty new. (Though he has had some of these in the past and lost them for a significant period of time.) It's still a far cry from the 200+ words he should have by this point, but it's progress, right?


***Don't mind me if this list changes over the next day or so...I might have missed a couple

  1. it is totally progress Amber! awesome list. I may copy this idea and do it myself.
    Brady tried to say "Elmo" yesterday, cannot even type what that sounded like, and I was thrilled.
    it is truly the little things these days. :)

  2. Definitely do it! I wish I'd been doing this all along. At least then I'd be able to compare, and have a record to show to Jesse's doctors and SLPs. And any word attempt should be counted. Speaking of, I need to add Jesse's "thank-you."
