Jon David's Vocabulary

From what I read, parents need to count the number of words their children can say. It's good for milestone tracking. So, I've been keeping a running tally and here's what my little one is saying these days.

1. "Ooooh Wow!" This is our family motto for 2007.


2. "Ut oh" - he uses this when the phone rings, the oven timer goes off, a lovey jumps overboard out of his crib and any other time he is surprised. Terribly cute!


3. "Da Da" - such a sweet sound the way he says it.


4. "Ma ma" - sometimes he draws it out and sounds so sweet; other times, it's like he is saying "Mooooom!" the way I anticipate him using it when he's older.


5. "Baaay bee" - used to describe anyone under the age of 10. He loves to see pictures of babies.


6. "Bub bules" - we LOVE bubbles!!


7. "Nigh Nigh" - yes, if you can believe it, Jon David will often ask to go to bed. Before you get all jealous, sometimes when in his crib, he changes his mind and no longer wants to go to sleep.

Also, I included in this post a photo of my other Valentine's Day present from my sweet husband. Jon David made the cover of my hometown paper (The Naperville Sun in Naperville, IL). The picture of him is HUGE. JD framed it for me and I just love it!
