Henry's Ever Expanding Vocabulary

Everyday Henry surprises me with new words and gestures. Today's new word was "DOWN!" He said it to Lolly, and was gesturing forcefully down while he was standing at the gate. Lolly looked confused, but got down nevertheless, which I consider to be a small miracle.

So here is what he can say--

Mama. But it usually is more like MaMaMa.

Dada. This is usually accompanied by a giant grin and giggles. Oh how the Pickle loves his Daddy.

No. Unfortunately, this is his favorite word and usually has something to do with finishing his yogurt, getting his diaper changed, or putting away toys. It is never said just once, but more of a mantra---Nononononoonono as he shakes his head.

Dog. He says this whenever Lolly is around. Sounds like "DAW!" And I will have to say that it is very hard to get your dog not to attack your son while he is in his high chair when he delights in feeding her crackers. He thinks it is a real gas and nothing makes him laugh so hard as to have her eat a ritz cracker from his chubby little hand.

Down. Not to be confused with Dog. Sounds like "DOW!" and usually has accompaning gesture.
