When Vincent wants to be picked up, or put down, he says "Up!" When he is strapped into his high chair, he can be very emphatic about it. "Upppppppp!"
He likes his hat—he always gets it when he wants to go out, and says "Ha', ha'."
He calls balls "ba." His toy cars are "ca," and whenever anyone says "ca", he has to climb up the sofa to look out the window and point at cars driving by.
We went out this morning. I put his coat on and he said "co." While we were out, we walked by a dog, and he said "do."
He loves to be read to now—this is a pretty recent development (the past few weeks.) He holds up a book plaintively and cries if you don't start reading immediately. Today he picked up a book and said "bu."
When we talk about his diaper, he points at his butt, but he hasn't said anything about it yet. He calls his water bottle "wa". When I say "ground," he looks down and seems confused (perhaps he is wondering why I am talking about the ground.)
(and can you blame him? what about the ground? not usually first 100 word-vocab!)
ReplyDeleteThis boy is showing Italian background, i guess - anything after the last vowel is expendable!
That (the Italian preference for consonant+vowel syllables) might also explain why one of Eddie's first favorite words was 'orologio.' It's delightful that Vi' likes reading now; possibly related to his emerging acquisition of vocabulary: the joy of lex.
