this boy is a chatty Charlie! My, oh, my, I can't even keep up with his vocabulary. Its safe to say that he is in a cognitive learning stage, majorly! If your going to be spending time with Landon, here is a peek inside his dictionary, at almost 20 months.
'ponit' aka hummus... derived from me asking, "Do you want diP ON IT?' "It" being a veggie straw, and dip of choice.. of course, hummus
'poonie' aka smoothie, what?? you didn't get smoothie from that!
'munch' aka lunch
'cuck' aka truck, about 10% of the time he says it right tho!
'idigger' aka excavator, this is the word he says with the MOST passion and over and over again when we see the excavator down the street
'dink' aka drink (only referring to OJ)
'sawwy' aka sorry, which he says every time I say, "landon, look at me" (I guess I said that a lot when we were learning time outs :)
'poooo' aka pool! he LOVES to swim :) we went to a friends pool in town the last couple weeks of summer and he just floated in his tube for two hours at a time!
He is beginning to learn different associations, and learn things in different contexts too... like, when we are driving in the car he points out everything he see's 'hoop' 'truck' 'horsey', and then while brushing teeth at night, he keeps pointing to the soap dispenser and says 'horsey, horsey' and when I question him to 'show me' what he is talking about, sure enough, he touches the soap dispenser and says with confidence, 'horsey' as if to say, duh mom... you don't see the resemblance!
Another association, which I am very impressed with, is when he sees the black GMC Envoy drive past that lives at the end of our street and says, 'PAPA', because it is the same care that Papa drives! Very impressive, at least in my opinion, but also so disappointing when we have to tell him that no, it isn't Papa driving past four times a day.
