Chatterbox

Max is becoming quite the little chatterbox, and surprises us with new words all the time! Many sound pretty similar, but we can understand what he is saying. For my own memory, I thought it would be fun to record all his words at almost 16 months old:

  • Hi 
  • Hello
  • Daddy ("Dah-DEE")
  • Mommy
  • Bye (always accompanied by a wave. Said at appropriate times, and also when he sees a car)
  • Bye bye, Daddy! (first set of words strung together!)
  • Nose ("Nooooe")
  • Eye ("Ey-eeee")
  • Apple ("App-ble" and "App-peh-ble". This word applies to all fruits.)
  • Dog ("Doh". This word applies to all animals.)
  • Outside ("Owww-duh")
  • Dark ("Dahhhh". Says this when he covers his eyes)
  • Light ("Eye-te". Says this word when he uncovers his eyes)
  • All done ("Ahh Dohhhn" accompanied by the sign for "all done")
  • No (usually says it to himself when he is about to do something he is not supposed to do, or when the dogs get too close)
  • I know ("Ahh-noo, Ahh-noo" Just said randomly repeating Mommy)
  • Baby ("Bee-bee")
  • Itsy (as in "Itsy Bitsy Spider")
  • Uh-oh (often said before he does whatever the"uh-oh" is going to be!)
  • Night Night ("Nye Nyeee")
  • Happy ("Haap-EEE")
  • Amen ("AHHH- mnnn")
Animal Sounds:
  • Sheep
  • Cow 
  • Snake
  • Bee
  • Duck
Sign Language Signs:
  • Eat
  • More
  • All Done
  • Please
  • Milk (uses this for all drinks)
  • Bread (not used often)
Other Fun Things:
  • High fives
  • Blows kisses (sometimes he forgets the hand part and just smacks his lips)
  • Shakes hands
  • Hugs
  • Kisses
  • Tries to wink (closes both eyes)
  • Can do hand motions to: "Wheels On the Bus", "Itsy Bitsy Spider", and "If You're Happy and You Know It"

.... and here's a bunch of random photos. :-)

Taking a snooze on Mommy's back during a walk...

I love everything about this photo (photo courtesy of Daddy, gorgeous sunrise, mountains, lake, and toddler-baby courtesy of God)


Having fun playing with delivery boxes before Christmas.
