New Words

[by guest blogger Daddy]

We're on the cusp of a word explosion.

Seems like every day Vake picks up new words.

Some recent additions to his vocabulary (in addition to "thank you" as noted below):

Sock
Applesauce
Purple (daddy's favorite)
Vroom (the sound anything with wheels makes)
Door
Car
On
Off
Toes
Ears
Nose
Eye
Knee
Book
Wow
WooHoo!
yeah, yeah, yeah (so far only when he hears momma say that when she's on the phone)
Ow (usually when singing along with the muppets)
and Bye

Of course one of his favorties is "No!"

When he pounded on the keybord of my work computer I told him "No" and put it up. And when he touched the dials on the stove, I would tell him "No" and move him away from the stove.

He's pretty smart, It really took - Now when he pounds on my keyboard he says "No" over and over. And he says "No!" as he plays with the oven dials.
