Owen is not an early bloomer speech-wise. He has, up to this point, communicated with a lot of pointing, grunts and temper tantrums to get his point across. Now that he is 22-months-old, I am happy to say things are changing.
It has been so refreshing to hear some real words come out of his mouth lately, even if they are slightly garbled and miss-pronounced. Some of my favorites:
Turtle- "too-tle"
Snack- "nack!"
Fish- "ish"
Bird- "ird"
Banana- "naz"
Cow- "mooo..."
Horse- "mooo"....yes, we are still working on this one
Yellow- "ello"
Circle- "gircle"
Triangle- "tree-angle"
Dog- "og! roof!"
Flower- "lowers"
He has a few words that he has mastered perfectly: mom, dad, hi, bye, Ella, mine, up, all-done, ball, teeth, eye, nose, NO, baby, and cheese. It is fun to watch him try to say new words every day, and try to put words together. The other night Marc was delighted to hear Owen yell wildly at his arrival home from work, "Hi, Dad, hi!!" Usually, it is just a "Hi!" or a "Dadddyyyyy!" So this word combination was something to get excited about.
