Big Talker...

Luke has been talking so much for the last month or so. Every day he has a new word or two. I have been making a list of his words, and it just keeps getting longer. It is virtually impossible to get him to sit still long enough to video him saying all of his words, but I did get him to say some of them in this video. I could just kick myself for not asking him to say more, but at the time I couldn't think of many to ask him to say. Still, I do LOVE this video and have watched it 1,000 times. I keep trying to get him to do it again, and I can't even get close. Oh well. At least I have this one!



(For the baby book and the G-parents)
Here is a list of the words that Luke is saying as of now:

  • Bye-bye
  • All done
  • Mama
  • Dada
  • Ball
  • Nigh-night
  • Bottle
  • Car (this used to be a double word for him for some reason and sounded like "ga ga", but now it's just one and sounds like "car"!)
  • Truck
  • Bubbles
  • Cookie
  • Yellow (he seems to recognize this color, too!)
  • Purple
  • Off
  • Down
  • Up
  • Eddie (his blanket)
  • Pop (for "Pops")
  • Papa (for "Papa T.")
  • Glasses
  • Apple
  • Outside
  • Wow
  • Whoa
  • Yogurt
  • Oops
  • Uh-oh
  • Slide
  • Hot
  • Open
  • Juice (this is more of a sound than a word, but it's what he says when he wants juice.)
  • Blueberries (this is only a 2 syllable word for him instead of 3, but it works!)

He signs:
  • More
  • Please
  • All done
  • Eat

I'm sure I'm forgetting some of his words and tomorrow he'll probably start saying some more. It's so much fun for him to be able to communicate with us, even just a little bit. We go nuts with every new word and constantly ask him to say his words to us. And when he's not saying words we can make out, he's always talking in jibber-jabber that is only understandable to him. Still, we think it's adorable!

    I was enjoying the way his voice softens when he says "Pops" and "Papa". How sweet is that? I think your voice sounds just like Genevieve Gorder from HGTV. I wish I had a TV Voice like you!!!
