It Speaks!

So, Alex has finally started talking over the last few months. Which is pretty much awesome. Now, I want to be clear, just because he can say the word doesn't necessarily mean that you can understand it. Those two things do not go hand in hand. Here is a list of of the words that he can say that have the highest chance of being recognized as English.

Mom

Dad

Ball

Kiss

Nellie (but only when talking to Nellie)

please

yes

no

what is it?

here it is, or there it is

hi-ya

bye

shoe

sock

hug

Kyle

PJ

Grandpa (I think... either grandpa or yaya...)

baby

Loralei (sometimes....)

fish

more (which was his first real word other than Mom & dad. He ALWAYS wants more.)

That is about it for the ones he says on a regular basis. Pretty soon he is going to learn "Stop shooting me in the butt with your nerf gun daddy." I have $5 on that being his first full sentence. He makes lots of animal sounds and recognizes a few upon sight. He is also learning to pick the correct flashcard out of a lineup. Oh! He just said a new word! OW! Looks like his first sentence might now be "stop shooting me in the FACE with your nerf gun daddy!!"

Anyway, that's pretty much what is going on here. Great, now Jeff is showing him how to shoot the gun......
