New Word
Okay, when Gracie was a baby I celebrated everything, and I have to say with two kids, while I still make such a fuss over every milestone, I may not annoyingly bring it to your attention.
But, when it comes to new words for Thomas I am thrilled to pieces.
It is no secret that I have worried over his lack of vocabulary. And it is no secret that everyone, including the pediatrician, says he is fine and where he should be in that department. It is also no secret he doesn't really need to talk--everyone breaks their necks trying to get or give him whatever he wants/needs at the slightest grunt.
Yep, he grunts. He is just like his grandpa. Nope, not as a kid--as an adult! Clearly they speak the same language. But it is another family member that is thrilled today with the new word.
At age 19 months my small, but mighty son, can get the following words out (but not very clearly):
"ah-dun" (all done)
"ah-gun" (all gone)
"Gay-ee" (Gracie)
"Uff-Uff" (that's for a dog)
"eeet" (eat)
"teee" (teeth, he wants to brush his teeth)
"Muh-ck" (milk, but he rarely says this, usually makes the sign)
"ch-eeee" (Chewey)
"ow-side" (outside)
"ff-nnn" (fan)
"offff" (off)
"Vroom-Vroom" (car of any kind, a louder version for wanting to ride with daddy)
"Whee!" (I think you get that one :)
"Mama" (which he even more infrequently says)
"Da-dieeee" (Daddy)
"Uh-Durge" (Uncle George)
"Oooo-gin" (Logan)
and now..."Ah-Roo" that would be Aunt Ruth whom he spent a wonderful doting day with.
I can not tell you how thankful I am for teaching him signs! It is so frustrating to not be able to understand what your child needs or wants. I need to work with him some more on those signs since he doesn't seem to care to try and form words. And, don't get me wrong, he isn't silent--he jabbers on and on and on and on (just like his sister) is is just incoherent.
So far he can do signs for:
milk
juice
eat
more
bath
all-done
Okay, and here is where I try not to compare my children and become more concerned. I knew I had kept a list of Gracie's vocabulary when she was little somewhere. I didn't find it, but I did find this blog entry of her at 18 months. Thomas is now 19 months.
