Development on Overdrive

Heath has made huge leaps in his language development in the last week, more in the last weekend, and even more today. It really is amazing watching concepts make sense to him as he talks in the form of communication we can understand. For 15 months we have talked to him, but not with him. So for your slight interest, and my personal documentation here are the notes:

In June Heath started saying:

Mama

Ball (Bahhwl)

Dad, Daddy, Dadah

Then later came:

Stop (Dawp)

Uh-oh

No (naawh) (Usually this is said in conjunction with his finger raised in the air)

Hi

In the last month Heath has been signing:

More

(And repeating us signing): Potty

This past week:

In addition to signing 'more' he started saying it at dinner when asking for more (Mowh).

He has started saying shoe (Djew).

Last Night:

When getting on Skype with my parents he finally said Opa (oh-pahw)

Heath repeated us saying peekaboo (eekadjew).

In addition to saying it in the car, later that night he demonstrated the concept that he knows how to play it too!~ take a peek ;)

Today:

Heath repeated us saying blue (boo).

When he pulled off his sock in the car he kept saying Djew Djew Djew, becoming very upset until we put his sock/shoe back on the foot he pulled it off of.

Getting ready for bed in his room I asked, should we go brush our teeth? He put his finger to his mouth then crawled to the bathroom and pulled up on the sink to reach for the brush.
