Nathan had a burst of new words in the last week or two. He’s added: Outside, Go, Elmo, Cookie (for a cookie and Cookie Monster), Bye Bye, Hello, Hot, Hat, Hop (he calls Bunnies Hop and will say it and bounce if you mention bunnies or frogs), Cheese, Um, Bicycle, Baby, More, and we think we heard Shoe.
And he also has a few two-word phrases now: Airplane Go, All Gone & What’s this.

Total word list:
Dog, Duck, Cat, Fish, Daddy, Mama, Ball, Apple, Cracker, Airplane, Hi, Up, No, Thank you, Opa, Outside, Go, Elmo, Cookie, Bye Bye, Hello, Hot, Hat, Hop, Cheese, Um, Bicycle, Baby, More, Shoe?, What’s This, All Gone.

And we can add clucking like a chicken to the list of animal sounds, and he learned the sign for bird so when he quacks he puts his hand up to his mouth to make the sign.

The two word phrase was pretty exciting to hear. He said Airplane Go first. We’re still not sure if it means “The airplanes gone”, or “Where’d the airplane go”, or maybe both, but he says it after he sees an airplane fly over and disappear.

There are probably other words we haven’t deciphered yet. I want to keep track of as many as I can, but I just read that he may start adding multiple words per day soon, so that might be the end of the lists.

Nathan’s doing other new things too, like starting to try to jump up, climbing more, and feeding himself (separate post to come on that). He likes to try to walk up the stairs like we do. He loves looking at pictures of his classmates that the teachers sent home, riding on his bike, reading books and looking for airplanes outside.
