we are very picky when it comes to saying our kids know words. if they repeat a word we say that is great but it doesn't count- they need to say it on their own to show they know what the word means.
this week sprout opened a book about dogs (the touch and feel puppy book) and clearly said "ah daah-ghh". then he turned the page and said it again. then again on the next page. he seemed quite excited about it. later that day when i was changing his diaper then neighbor's dog barked and looked up and said "ah daah-ghh!". i think it is clear that he knows the word dog now. :)
also, he has started making a sound that we believe is "ruff" in association with the word dog. i think he is making the dog sound! (and he should know it, our magpie can be quiet loud at times!)
we think he may be calling bean "sis". we aren't sure but it sounds like it. (she tells him she is his sister or sis all the time.)
he also may have said "buh-buh" (bye-bye) to his nana the other day. he has not repeated this again so it may have just been a fluke. we will have to wait and see.
so, sprout has two words now- dada and dog. he says the sound "ma-ma-ma" but he doesn't use it to refer to me. he calls us both "dada" (bean did it too so i guess that must be somewhat normal).
*don't worry, he's going to be getting his hair cut soon. my brother and sister kept teasing him- saying he had "girl hair" his weekend! so before his birthday he will be sporting big boy hair, i promise!! ;)

his birthday. oh my goodness. did that go fast or what? sheesh.
both my girls said dada first too...grrr. nice gratitude for changing a million more diapers and spending all day with them!
you're cutting the hair?!?!?! I know it's silly to be sad when he's not even my kid - but I AM! I love baby hair!
WTG Sprouty, you'll be talking circles around that sister of yours in no time. :)
Way to go Sprouty! Talk it up baby!
the Ba's first word was 'dut' (duck)...as seen in a book too.
