When chatterboxes breed

[dwenius]

This is just the list we can remember this evening, mind. Amazing how much he can accomplish with 82 words. Some dim web site says 18 month olds might have 20 words...they must not be paying attention, or else they don't talk to their kids enough. Beats me. But this was fun to list! Without further ado:

• hi!


• hello or 'lo? (the latter on the phone)


• bye-bye


• mama


• papa


• nina


• sister


• baby


• ready


• kish (kiss)


• up


• go (or, "bye bye, go?" when he is tired and wants to go home)


• walk


• out


• play


• get down


• all done


• see


• mine


• share (he said "share?" in a room full of moms over the weekend, and you could hear the jaws hit the floor as he handed the ball to another toddler)


• look


• here go (here you go)


• okay


• alright


• night-night


• nice


• whee!


• wow!

• cooka (cracker, used to be kee-coo but he's matured)


• fishie (pepperidge farm or pacific salmon)


• nose


• mouf (mouth)


• eye


• ear


• head (hm, he might only do the sign for this one...have to listen and see)
