The bubs has finally decided that talking might be worth his while, after all. In just the past couple of weeks he’s started actively using lots of new words, repeating things we say to him, and generally showing an interest in being understood.
A few of the things he’s saying these days:
My-nees kine Winnie’s crying
Guck! duck
Cag cat
Jew-gee Julie
Neal Neal
Elmo!! Elmo
ite light
ah-wigh Oh, boy
by boy
Oh, no!!! Oh, no
There are lots more in this vein, plus he has mastered various animal sounds, notably “woof-woof”, “me-oooow”, “tweet-tweet”, and something that sounds vaguely like a horse whinnying. “Woof-woof” is far and away the favorite, and when we take him walking in the neighborhood, he is constantly engaged in barking at dogs, something he started doing while we were in California for our last visit. Amusingly enough, they usually respond in kind. Maybe that’s why things have progressed so slowly – this kid appears to be learning English as a second language, having already mastered Dog.
