...How I Adore Words!
 |
| Had to put a picture of his cute little, mouth, since his words come from here! |
A few postings back I said I would post Ryan's vocabulary list. At first, I was diligent about writing his first words down and decided after I filled one whole page in his baby book then I would stop. Here are the words that fill up this one page in his baby book and others he has said since I stopped writing them down.
The page looks like this:
- Dada (Da - da)
- Ma-ma (he said mama later, but I have it towards the top)
- this (his first official word other than Dada)
- dog (Memorial Day Weekend)
- hey or hey, hey, hey (from the chorus in his favorite song)
- Hi on 6/12
- Uh-oh on 6/13
- Bye (week of 6/12)
- What's this? (week of 6/20)
- Want THIS
- What is this?
- Circle
- Water (asking for a water bottle on 7/2)
- Mouth (or as he pronounces it...MAO)
- Bubbles on 7/5
- Ike-y (around 7/2) or he frequently says "I-tay"
- Head (the final "d" is difficult to hear)
- Ball (says well by 7/7)
- Bianca (well, he says...CAAN-KA for his buddy, Bianca)
- Golf (he can say, but not a lot)
- Bird (sounds like birh)
- Grandpa (Bam-pa) on 7/10
- Car
- THANK YOU (sounds like "thankee" "or "tank tu" sometimes)
- All done on 7/27
By 8/8/11, he says:
- cracker
- quack-quack
- woof-woof (sounds like woo-woo)
- apple (all round fruits are apples: Pumpkins and Tomatoes are apples!)
- hat
- bowl (bow - no real final "l")
- tractor (he used to say more because he liked a tractor toy a lot)
- Bear (sounds like - "buh")
- No
- Cow
- Moo
- Cat
- Flower (early to mid August - sounds like "wow-wer")
- Pop-pop (as in pop the bubbles)
- Wag, Wag, Wag (he repeats part of a book he likes where the dog's tail wags)
- Chihuahua (well, he says..WA-WA)
- Boat (on 8/27) So funny, because we are driving to the mountains, and he sees a marina and yells, BOAT...the Kemp family was with us - I have no idea where he learned that from!
So...the list ends on 8/27
However, he has said or frequently uses the following because they come to mind easily:
- More (MO)
- Help (he says "hep")
MORE, HEP, and THANKEE are interchangeable, and he uses them when he wants something - which is every 5 minutes I think!!
- BEE (as in Bumblebee...he tried saying "bumblebee" for a while but has recently shortened it to "bee") Ryan LOVES bumblebees and likes to look at them in our flower garden and our neighbor Susan's garden
- Meema (as in Mimmy, which is what we call my Mom)
- Pappy (My Dad's name)
- Grandma (as in Grandma Sandy)
- Caw-Caw (we have lots of crows around, and he loves to look for them when we go outside and say, "caw-caw" - many birds now are caw-caws just as most dogs are woo-woos)
- hand (han - again, no final "d" sound)
- eye
- Pat, pat, pat (from Little Einstiens show)
- Blast off (from Little Einsteins show)
- egg
- baby
- spoon (he pronounces it "poon")
- Ry-Ry (He started this last weekend...he likes when I say Ry-Ry then he repeats back Ry-Ry, as a game)
- rock (wock)
- happy (this actually means...CUPCAKE, ha, ha!) It is so cute when he sees a cupcake or picture of one he calls it a "Happy" - as in Happy Birthday! Awwww!
- airplane (we now look for bees, caw-caws and airplanes when we go outside)
- turkey
- rice
- bite (as in, "Do you want a bite of food?" He repeats, "bite" back to me)
- shoe
- Baaaaa (He likes sheep)
- nose
- ear (kind of sounds like "eye")
- ya (as in yes)
- cheese (He actually goes to the fridge and tries to open the door to get it!! Asking for cheese)
- He also does "cheese" for picture taking now.
- Nigh-Nigh (as in Night-Night)
Oh and so cute...when you ask him:
What does a cuddly baby say? He says, "Mama"
What does a hungry baby say? He says, "Baba"
What does a sleepy baby say? He says, "Nigh-Nigh?"
What does a busy baby say? He says, "Uh-oh?" - from his book: What Does Baby Say?
Anyway, we are on our road to communication, which is great! I think he is above average for number of words at his age. I am just thrilled we can communicate a bit, and I mostly understand him.
Even though this post is mainly about things Ryan can say, I am including recent pics:
