Language

Dear Luke,

Your pediatrician said you should have about 50 words at age 2. I've wondered if that will happen because up until a couple weeks ago, you really weren't saying very much. It seems like your vocabulary has started to expand recently though and you are eager to try new words. Before you are speaking all sorts of words, I wanted to write down your first words, in order, to the best of my memory.

Dada
Mama
Fish
Uh-oh
Nana (banana)
Elbow
Hi
Yeah
Nana (daddy's mommy)
Honey
Papa
Bampa

Animal noises:
Bear
Lion
Monkey
Dog
Cat
Cow
Lamb
Horse

Today I asked you if you could say Luke. I said it slowly with my mouth open so you could see my tongue on the roof of my mouth when I made the "L" sound. You didn't say anything, but were really studying my mouth and putting your own tongue on the roof of your mouth, then just burst out laughing. It will be so fun to continue to hear you speak more and more!

Love,
Mommy
