Luke at 17 months

When Hannah was about 18 or 19 months old, I remember making a list of all the words she could say. It was a fun memory so thought I would do the same here. Plus blogging it is so much easier than writing in my journal that hasn't had any attention in months. I'm not sure he will come close to Hannah's 100+ word vocabulary, but here's what he's saying....
1. mommmeeee
2. dadddeeee
3. ssshhhsseeess (sissy)
4. bubba (clubber)
5. dawg
6. dink (drink)
7. ta tou (thank you)
8. gigi (blankie)
9. gane (again...when he wants to watch Baby Einstein's again)
10. more
11. no
12. caca (cracker)
13. owl
14. hoot
15. bear (and ba bear for brown bear)
16. duck
17. qua, qua, qua (quack)
18. mooo
19. rabbe (rabbit)
20. bye bye
21. hi
22. up
23. ni ni (night night)
25. baa (bath)
26. go
27. emo (elmo)
28. car
29. peas (please)
30. puppy
31. eat
32. ga ma (grandma)
33. ga pa (grandpa) Ha! Hannah used to say mooga and pooga.
34. fower (flower)
35. I wuv wu
36. Anneeeeeka (Anika, his little friend at church daycare)
37. ball
38. shhuuu (shoe)
39. bug
40. burrr (bird) Ha! Hannah used to say deee.
41. awww gong (all gone) or awww dong (all done)...complete with baby sign language

Funny things he's doing....

-Sitting down to put himself in timeout when he knows he's done something naughty - usualy biting his sister.

-Silly face: cross eyes and throw head back when being fed ice cream from a spoon. It's halarious!

-Running around shaking his head and saying "no"; this looks to require a lot of coordination.

-Walking down the jungle gym stairs, stopping, telling me "no" and turing the other way. No way is he going to get down.

-Bouncing or trying to dance or jump?

-Roaming around in wide open spaces. No limits for this boy. Loves the freedom!

-Learning to throw the ball and chase after it.

-Climbing on stools and balancing w/ no hands.

-Singing the tune to "Happy Birthday", "Happy and You Know it" and "The ABCs".

-Sequences in his movements, Ex: Close the gate, run to tv and turn it off, run to daddy and give hug, repeat.

-Imitating us when we stick out our tounges and then trying to taste our tounges! Eww!

At least he has stopped....

-throwing food at mealtime.

-screaching when frustrated. Now he screaches when excited.

-splashing in the toilet water.

I wish he would stop...

-biting us when frustrated or biting Hannah's toes as a game.

-playing with Hannah's night light and trying to eat it.

-getting into his sister's stuff like crayons, hair clips and toothbrushes.

-eating dog food.

-wanting to push the button that opens and closes the garage door everytime we come into the house (and throwing a little tantrum if he can't).

-standing in the tub and turning on the water.

BUT..such is life with a toddler. In a few months everything will change anyway. Just fun to document it now.
