So, at this point, "truck" is a nasally "crnk" and "kitty" is "kee." Hey, we know what he's saying!
Samson's other vocabulary is really starting to pick-up now, and he understands even more words that he hasn't yet attempted to say. Along with his new verbal skills, he has also begun using his sign language much more. For example, he loves to say "mo" for "more" and at the same time (or whenever someone else says the word) do the hand motion for "more." Another communication game he loves is to point at Mama and say, "Mama!" and then point at himself and wait for Mama to say, "Samson!"
Here are some of his other favorite words of the past couple of weeks:
- Mmm! = yum
- Ahhh! = refreshing (after taking a swig of beverage)
- num-num = yum-yum
- brrr = cold
- haah = hot
- opp = up
- puh-zaa = pizza
- teess = teeth
- caa = car
- ba = ball
- haa = hat
- gah = goat (maybe this is a cross between "goat" and "baa")
- shish = fish (for fish and any cheese-flavored cracker regardless of shape)
- Hi! (to be said whenever passing anyone in public or upon seeing Mama after being out of sight for any length of time)
