He's got words for you...

For those of you not privileged enough to live with Andy on a constant basis, I feel it my duty to declare his genius. Yes, another one of those moms. I will make you listen to every last fascinating (only to me) thing he can do. For today I will share his lexicon of words. It took over a year of DDI (his own private tutor) and lots of work but he now says:

snow
chair
star!!!!!! (he puts great emphasis on this word)
woof woof (it means dog)
truck (more like chuck)
choo choo
ball
bah bah (bye bye)
whoisit? one word meaning 'who is it?' when he answers the phone
Bumpa (grandpa)
Nana (more like Nah -Nah)
NO!
rarrrr! (like a lion)
nose
Dada
juice (like jooooose)
NO!!!!
boom
shoes
nana (for banana)
car
vroom
moo (he likes expressing the sounds of things rather than labeling them)
NO!!
I don't (if he doesn't want you to do something)
WOW!!!!
NO! I don't!

I'm sure there's more I can't think of at the moment.

Right now I am working on teaching him these words:

alfalfa
Nefertiti
hydrangea
symbiosis
Quetzalcoatl
inconsequential
and
antidisestablishmentarianism

I'll get back to you when he knows them ;)

Oh, and by the way, if you are wondering if he can say 'Mama' Well, yes he can but he only does under great distress, like being drugged out of his mind at the hospital. I do feel special.
