time for us to brag...

so drew and i decided last week that we would keep a list of all the words that max says correctly...
we tried to separate them by category.
when we got them all down on paper, we were pretty impressed with our little guy's vocabulary.

"food related"
water, juice, milk, banana, toast, cookie, peas, soup, berries, cracker, cereal, grapes, noodle, cheese, pretzel and bunny (kind of cracker and cereal).

"toy or play"
keys, hat, throw, ball, book, blocks, barrels, puppy, lamb, bear, buzz, and pooh.

"animals"
puppy*, bird*, goose, kitty*, sheep*, whale, fish, lion*, owl*, monkey*, goat, mouse, bunny, hippo, butterfly and bug. (the animals with a * he knows the noise they make)

"body parts"
nose, teeth, cheek, eye brow, eye, ear, belly, toes, leg, and feet.

"people"
jesus, momma, dadda, max, amie, maggie & libby (our dogs), grama, hannah and teddy. he will repeat just about any member of the family's name...but these are the ones he knows by sight.

other words
medicine, mirror, night-night, blankie, pillow, mail, chair, down, up, please, thank you, yea/yes, no, do it, yucky, noisy, knock, wall, ceiling, sky, moon, star, bath, baby, pumpkin, stroller, bye-bye, hi, flag, car, bus, choo-choo (train), and school.

now keep in mind, some of them are in his own "language" but he still knows the word...it just doesn't always come out like we say it...but that's still almost 100 words! for example, cookie is "gooey" and blankie is "ming" but we still think we've got a very smart little guy on our hands.
