Words!

I started a list of Parkers vocabulary a while back and I am amazed at how much it has grown lately. It started out at about 10, and has grown to about 25! I wanted to brag up my little man a little bit, and share with you the words we get to hear him say.

1. Mom, Mama*

2. Dad, Dada*

3. Oh, Wow!* (I love this one!)

4. Bye Bye (his little wave that goes along with it is adorable)

5. Hi, Hello

6. Nice

7. Ball**

8. Truck

9. Nana

10. Gamma

11. Ow

12. That

13. No*

14. Thank you

15. Here ya go

16. Tucker (Grandma and Grandpa's dog)

17. Doggy

18. Uh-oh* (He says this ANY time we/he drops something on the floor. He keeps saying it until you pick it up. SO cute!)

19. Cookie* (He calls ANYTHING he likes to eat 'cookies')

20. Juice

21. Milk

22. Purple (He learned purple and blue in like 5 minutes one night.)

23. Blue

24. You're welcome

25. Wee! (He says this when he goes down the slide. His new favorite. He loves trying to walk up the slides.)

26. Eye (He says this and points to your eye)

27. I do!

I put stars next to the words that he says most often. We just love his little voice. It is so fun. He definitely knows when you are asking him a question. He almost always answers "no," but sometimes will nod his head. He doesn't know 'yes' yet, but he's definitely got the nod down. Last night Tyler was feeding him some macaroni and cheese. He asked him if he liked it (not really expecting an answer), and Parkers eyes got all big and he started nodding his head. Enough that he kept hitting his head on the back of the highchair. It was adorable. I love that he can answer questions now. "Ball" got two stars because that is his absolute favorite right now. He can point out a ball anywhere. I usually have to search for what he is talking about. It amazes me how well he can find balls. I have to explain the story with "I do!". Yesterday I asked Parker if he wanted to go play outside. He was standing by the front door all dressed and ready. His reply? "I do!" He said it over and over again. Tyler and I just stared at each other in amazement. So proud of him!

Now for some pictures: Playing with cousin Benny last night...
