Words, words, words!

At fourteen months today, Elijah is a talker. It is fun to watch him use language to explore his world and to communicate. His highest frequency words are: dada (he loves his Dad!), off (used for off, on, in, out), bye (used when we or others are leaving, or when he wishes we or others were leaving), and more (meaning "I want something").

Word list:
--dada
--mama
--baby
--dog ("daw")
--bath
--off
--no
--up
--down
--peas
--belly button
--blanket ("blee")
--bye
--hi
--more
--peek
--boo
In the last three weeks he has added: please, spoon, bowl, vacuum, bird, cat, keys, book, all done, bringing his word total to 26.

Signs:
--more
--all done
