Words & Such
Simon has a lot of words, but only a few sounds. It gets confusing. "Bah" can mean "ball," "bye," "phone," or "Buddha" (there's a statue of Buddha in a neighbor's yard). "Mah" can mean "more," "mommy," "milk," "mush" (from the book Goodnight Moon), "moon," or "man." "Gah" can mean "clock," "car," "cat," or "can" (as in "trash can"). "Dah" can mean "dog," "Esthela" (the babysitter), "daddy," or "duck." He's starting to add nuances to his pronunciations, though. More and more often he says "mama" and "dada" to call Michael and me. "Moon" is often "moo" and not just "mah." "Man" is often "maa" (same vowel sound as in "bad").
He's added a new sound recently: "beh" (the same vowel sound as in "bed"). This sound means "bear," "belt," or "pear."
He's also started (just barely) communicating two ideas in one "sentence." Earlier today he was holding a phone and looking outside to the street. He looked at me and said, "bah, gah," which means "phone, car." He was holding the phone and looking at cars driving by.
What else? He calls my father "bah bah" (for "papa") and he calls his cousin Aidan "ay!" (the exclamation point is intentional; he gets so excited when he plays with him.)
