Ben is 20 months old today! He talks all the time (mostly in his own little language with a few “real” words thrown in). It got me wondering what words and how many words he knows. Here’s what I can think of, although I’m sure there’s more. And of course some of them aren’t pronounced quite right but I definitely know what he means when he says them.
Mommy/Mama, Daddy/Dada, Truck, Car, Motorcycle, Walk, Wheee (not a word, but cute), Birdy, Ducky, Bug, Kitty, Bike, Airplane, Helicopter, Book, Poop, Bear, No, Yes, Cup, Apple, Bye, Hi, Spoon, Up, Down, Bubble, Plant, Doggy, Nonna, Block, Cookie, Elmo, Thomas, Ouch, Uh oh, Oh my, Oh no, Door, Ball, Moo (for a cow), Meow (for what sound does a kitty make?), One (for how old are you?), Blueberry, Wow, BBCs (for sing the ABC’s), Yoyo (for when he wants to sing Old McDonald…EIEIO), lawnmower, moosey (one of his stuffed animals), robot, banana, cheese, baby, whoa, night night, yeah, please, me, eye
He’s also combined a few words: Uhoh drop bear, Mommy cup, no down, yes cookie, etc. Pretty good little vocabulary! It’s fun watching him soak up new things.
When you ask him “how old are you?” he puts a finger up for “one.” Poor kid will be confused in a few months when we start doing “two.”
