He Talks!

When Emerson was a baby, we taught him to sign - not all the time, just a few basic ones - and it was amazing! It's really nice when you can communicate with your baby even though they can't talk yet. Now that he's older though, he knows and uses plenty of words. He plays shy when we're out and about around other people  though, so you probably don't believe us when we say he talks, but come hang out at our house and he'll talk your ear off in seconds. Here's some signs and words/phrases he uses regularly:

He signs...

"more"
"please"
"sorry"
"all done"
"out"

He says...

"mommy"

"daddy"

"kitty"

"puppy"

"out"
"done"
"more"
"go"

"ball"
"meow"
"uh-oh"
"wow"
"hi kitty kitty"
"where'd it go?"
"i don't know"
"i did it"
"oh no"
"NO!" (his favorite word)

"what is it?"
"c'mon guys"
"where is it?"
"all gone"
"i found it!"
"i got it"
"you got me"
"there it is"
"who's that?"
"it bonked me" (whenever he hits his head)
and lots and lots of gibberish 

I know there's more...but I can't think of them at the moment. It's funny how fast he picks things up. At least once a day he surprises me with a new word or phrase. Makes me think twice before I say anything because I know it's only a matter of time before he's repeating everything.
