This afternoon, I went to pick him up from daycare. While I was putting his jacket on to go, he pointed to a picture of a baby and said, “Baby”. Very clearly. He did it a second time. He’s been saying it for a while, but today was the first evidence he can connect the object to the word.
He is very curious and motivated to learn to talk. He asks the names of things, and it looks like all he needs is the oral coordination to make the syllables come together.
I see Mr. Blue Sky beat me to the thought… although I thought it might be “UncleCecil.” (yes, all one word)
Aaron’s going to discover the joy of words and connecting names to objects pretty soon. Brace yourself for an onslaught of words there… it’s going to be a wild ride.
What scares me is that he’ll be expressing his own opinions before too long. I guess I should get dentures now, because I think I’m going to be gritting my teeth a lot, if he’s anything like his father.
Well I was hoping for Ayesha ! The boy couldn’t even be born on my birthday like I told him to. j/k
I know you’re proud Robyn, you have every right to be. Treasure this time because they grow up fast. Son will be 23 next month, I was showing future d-i-l his baby pictures the other day and wondering to myself where the time went. Waaaaa ! I miss my baby !
