Budding Vocabulary

Zach is starting to use words consistently (If you want to call them words - some are his own words).

He has learned "Uh Oh" and he likes to drop stuff and say it.

He has also learned "No No" and he shakes his head too! (I think he learned this one at school - we don't shake our heads when we say No - (unless I don't know I do it))

Zach's morning teacher taught him the Elmo song. If I sing it to him, he will "La La" back. You have to sing it with the right tune and if you try to leave off the "Elmo's Song" at the end he gives you a funny look and won't sing back. It is so cute because you can tell he is trying to change his voice to "sing".

He is still using the "Na Na" from a couple months ago. Sometimes it means his "bottle" and other times it means "Night Night".

Zach is also learning to wave Bye-Bye. He is about 50/50 right now. And sometimes he just does a lazy wave - he puts his arm up, but doesn't wave his hand!

This is my favorite part of motherhood - I just love to see him learning! Sometimes it seems like the switch in his head got flipped and he knows something new - One minute he has no idea what you are talking about and the next he completely understands. Maybe in the next couple weeks he will already know a few more words!

I think that anything they say consistently to mean something is a word. Eli's word for yogurt is "mah-mah-mah" (with a short pause after each "mah"). Don't ask me where it came from, but he still uses it 6+ months later.

It is amazing how quickly their vocabulary grows once they start to "talk"!
