word log.2

more chatter from this little guy!  i am so amazed at how much his vocabulary has grown in just 3 months. 
 
adding to his previous vocab arsenal is his 19.5 month word log:

• meat (chicken, beef, pork...it's all meat to him.  and it's this kid loves his meat.)
• more (this one he's actually said/signed for quite some time, but i forgot to add it last time.)
• ty
• thank you
• too (as in "me too"; usually used when he wants the same food/snack as emma)
• me
• mine (you can thank emma for him learning this word)
• go-go (as in "let's go" or "time to go")
• bapple (apple)
• nana (banana)
• pear
• ibu (that's the indonesian term we use for my mom)
• eye
• socks
• shoo (shoes)
• milk
• bubble (also uses this word for when he wants to take a bath)
• poo-poo (he's also told us a few times when he's gone or when he's about to)
• no poo-pooo (as in "i didn't go poop")
• stinky
• bapper (diaper)
• chaye (change)
• ear
• sayang (term of endearment or to be gentle in indonesian)
• hah (hug)

i think there are a few more i missed but it's been hard to keep track. 

he seems to be at the stage now where he's realizing that each object has a word associated with it so he's been able to repeat back quite a bit.  he's also been able to finish sentences from a few rhyming-type books or songs we sing on a regular basis.  much like emma when she was his age, he has developed quite a love affair with books.  between reading to emma and gibson, some days i read up to 10-12 books a day (about half of them are from the same book read 2 or 3 times in the day). 

i love it.  and i love taking the kids to the library and coming home with enough books to fill a bookshelf.  actually, i think we need to seriously consider designating a couple of shelves just for library books with the amount of items we check out between all 5 of us.  our library bin is ALWAYS maxed out, and with another kiddo coming soon the bin method is not going to cut it for us anymore.
