Ethan is learning new words almost daily, and for those of you who wish to communicate with our 19 month old, here is a handy sample dictionary that will make things a little easier.
"AAAH" - an exclamation meaning "Hey, look at me!", "Hey! I need food!", "Hey! get off my foot!"
"Bah!" - Typically shouted, which is why there is the exclamation point. Normally means "Ball", but can also mean "orange", "apple", or other round thing.
"Ball!" - Ball. Sometimes he actually pronounces the "L" sound.
"BEAR!" = Teddy Bear, with capitals and exclamation point. This word is only used with extreme excitement.
"Buzz" - Buzz lightyear.
"Car"- Anything with 4 or more wheels. He points out every car when we are on the highway. Can get really old really fast.
"Coo-coo" - Cookie.
"Coo!" - Cookie.
"Cook!" - Cookie.
"Cookie!" - Cookie.
"Cow" - Cow. However, can also mean pig, sheep, horse, or woman wearing a black and white fur coat. That was hilarious. We were in Wal-Mart and he pointed at this woman and said, quite loudly, "MOOO! Cow!"
"Daddy" - Me. This is one of my favorite words.
"Doggy" - pronounced "goggy". Means dog. Duh.
"Drink" - cup of water, juice, or milk. Doesn't matter, they are all interchangeble.
"Elmo" - The one word EVERY kid knows.
"Funt" - Elephant. Or Rhino. Or dinosaur. Or semi. Size is the key defining factor in this word. Elephantness doesn't seem to factor in.
"Fire" - Chicago Fire. Or Pacifier. He is a pacifier connoisseur, using different colors and sizes for different needs. Sometimes he carries two or three at a time, switching between them every few minutes.
"Gangyou" - Thank you. Adorable.
"Go!" - This is an invitation to run either by himself or with others.
"Hi" - Hi.
"Juice" - orange juice.
"Kitty" - Kitty. Or dog. Or bear. Whatever happens to be nearby and furry.
"Mine" - This is a recent addition, one that is quickly becoming his favorite.
"Mommy" - Mom. There are times he wants mom and times he wants dad...it is nice that he can let us know these things.
"No!" - He knows how to say this word, but doesn't seem to want to listen when we say it.
"Peas!" - Please. He only uses this when he really wants something. Normally it is "Peas! Cookie! Peas! Coo-coo!"
"Roar!" - Roar. He says this whenever he sees a dinosaur. Lots of fun while we were in the Evolving Planet exhibit at the Field Museum. Basically a solid hour of "Roar!"
"Sorry" - Sorry.
"Teef!" - Teeth. He loves playing with his toothbrush, and several times a day he will yell "Teef!" and run to the bathroom.
I am sure that tehrare others, but they are escaping me now. I'll update as he adds words.
