At two years and 8 months, Jayden has grown a bit more in his vocabulary. He still isn't as vocal as his brother and sister were at that age, and that can be frustrating at times because he screams a lot and throws some tantrums, but when he does talk, it's very sweet.
A Jayden dictionary with some of his words and phrases:
ah-puh-toos(octopus)- Whenever he sees the letter "o", he says,"O. ah. ahpuhtoos."
nigh-nigh- His blanket that he currently drags with him all over the house
baby- What he calls his favorite stuffed animal(giraffe), and also when he sees any picture of a baby
watuh(water) His favorite drink(unless he sees me drinking a soda at a fast food place). Usually followed by "peas"(please). He does use his manners.
"No seegig. I doen lie it!" A phrase he picked up when I was singing to him, and he all of a sudden started to scream. I told him that he needed to use his words and he learned,"No singing. I don't like it." He actually loves to sing songs together. Just wasn't in the mood that particular night, I guess. Every once in a while, he will say the phrase just because he knows that it makes us laugh.
"Ah done!" All done.
"Yay! Dih it!" Yay! I did it!
Some songs he likes to sing:
"Jesus Loves Me"
"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"- sounds more like Kee-Ko, Kee-Ko Little Stah"
"Jump Up"(sung by the Imagination Movers on the Disney Channel- complete with motions)
He actually likes singing a lot, and will sing with pretty much whatever he listens to- even if he doesn't know the words.
He also knows his colors, numbers, letters(complete with sounds), and body parts. My favorite parts that he says are "no-ese(nose), to-es(toes), and beh-yee buht(belly button)."
Well, I could go on, but I can't think of everything, and you are probably already bored by now. ;) He's really a smart little guy, and I love him a lot!
