Worthy of a fresh reply: Cedar is saying "five" with some sort of bilabial consonant at the front. It's kind of an unaspirated p, but we wondered if he was going to say haaah forever. Six, I think, is also stopped being multisyllabic.
Feb 28: he signed sorry last night, which I thought was really cute. He also does hurt, but he does the whole routine from the video showing his head and stomach. I think he's probably close a 200 word vocab, which is usual for age 2 (he'll be 5 in March).
3/7: Thank you with sign. Water, milk, toast but these are just CV. There was one I forgot and then I remembered when I was backing out the car and now I've forgotten again. I really hate that I can remember what I was doing when I remembered the word but not what the word was.
3/14: signed potty and said something along those lines\
3/15 signed and said book.
The signing is interesting because he wasn't really into signing time until a couple of months ago, he found the potty time DVD in the basement and wanted to watch it, and every since then he's been pretty interested in all signing time videos. And he's started signing "my body is amazing" in church a couple of times, though you can't really make it out if you don't know what he's doing, which is perhaps fortunate. He also asks for Shee shee, which seems to be Shaun the Sheep.
3/21 Soda. I guess that settles what our family calls that.
4/4 help, bear (including signs) and count.
4/9 popcorn (just saying, but very cute). He was naming a lot of letters last night, previous I'd only seen him reliable with is own name. Signing "wash hands" but not saying it too good. And I just saw on signing time (after he went to bed) that he's signed wash clothes a number of times but I haven't understood him.
4/11 truck, something resembling "aaron burr" (because we were eating cookies with milk and the kids were saying "aawon buww") and possibly "omigosh". Now he's trying to whistle.
4/16 watermelon, which was fun because later at a potluck he got some. He also read P.E. off my screen.
5/19: a couple of weeks ago he said "Rudy, get down now" after I said "Let's go now". It's interesting because it was a few words, and not from a video. He was saying "touch" very clearly, which was a good CVCC type thing. Today I thought of words he know involved most alphabet sounds, though his F isn't too good.
6/2: Using some two word phrases, like vitamin C and chocolate milk.
5/29 Cedar bowed his head and closed his eyes during prayers at church. I guess I wasn't.
