It’s just a little<\/span> sad to see Alexander exploding with new language skills and watching his pronunciation and grammar get a little better every day. He’s already got a running commentary on everything with sentences, paragraphs, concepts, and connections that surprise us at every turn. Before he begins reciting Shakespeare, we thought we’d jot down a few of our favorite words he says lest they slip away entirely.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

-Fakes ‘n Zeenies- <\/span>Raisin Bran, which just this week he now calls Fakes ‘n Raisins
\n-noonie- <\/span>nudy \/ naked as in “noonie ZahZah!!!!” <\/span>before every bath
\n-Zahzah- <\/span>That’s what he calls himself, though he can say ‘Alexander’ if asked.
\n-Deedee- <\/span>His name for his little friend David, that just switched to the real thing the other week.
\n-BupBumm-BupBumm- <\/span>Dinosaur (that’s the sound the one at Toys R Us makes when it walks)
\n-Googie \/ DigDig<\/span> – Diggers, All yellow construction vehicles (except dump trucks)
\n-Weeyooo Weeyoo-<\/span> Fire engine and Ambulances that are going “to hep sowwon” (the sound it
\nmakes)
\n-Upsomedom- <\/span>UpsideDown
\n-Kankoo- <\/span>Thank you
\n-Totee- <\/span>He finally ‘lost’ this one about a month ago; now he does say Tatou correctly
\n-Mama so kind!- <\/span>If you share something with him- like part of your snack
\n-gow, gow<\/span>– That’s the garbage disposal ‘growling’
\n-woooooooo- <\/span>vaccuum cleaner
\n-sheee<\/span>– share, as in “Zahzah shee Papa<\/span>” handing him a half bitten, soggy animal cracker. We’re
\nstill working on ‘giving others the best’.
\n<\/span>-amies- <\/span><\/span>animals<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>–sahny<\/span>– “sorry” And if you do something you would apologize to him for (like opening the breakfast fruit when he<\/span> wanted to do it) He’ll scrunch up his face & eyes and whine a little fuss saying “ooooooh sahny mama!!!” because several times Mama has said, “Ooohhh I’m sorry, Alexander I didn’t know you wanted to …”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Traits:
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

– drops the ‘s’ at the beginning of a lot of ‘s’ words- stuff becomes “tuff;” <\/span><\/span>Squirt becomes ‘quirt’ etc…
\n– <\/span><\/span>puts a ‘d’ in the middle of words that have two vowel sounds- mail becomes ‘madle;’ <\/span><\/span>wheel becomes ‘widle’ etc… <\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n– l<\/span><\/span>ikes to use<\/span><\/span> ‘nope’ <\/span><\/span>&<\/span><\/span> ‘yep’ <\/span><\/span>
\n-‘er’ or ‘le’ at the end of the word is pronounced ‘y’- like fingy<\/span> (finger), wiggy<\/span> (wiggle), ticky (tickle), etc… (but not little<\/span>)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yah, so we could write on and on and on… and maybe we’ll add a few as we come across them, but it’s been so fun to watch all of these things take off, and all his new additions (really his entire vocabulary) astounds us everyday.<\/p>\n

Let the words of my mouth
\nand the meditation of my heart
\nbe acceptable in Your sight, O LORD,
\nmy rock and my Redeemer.
