New Words

Logan is a word-learning machine.


The words he's added since our last update are:

"Bubbe" (what his daycare provider has the kids call her), which he said for us the first time when he was at Toys R Us and saw a toy that she has at her house.

"Duckie," which he asks for by name every night at bathtime. What's weird is, before he learned the word, he was kind of over his pirate rubber duck my friend Lisa gave him. But now that he can ask for it, it's back in style.

"Dog," which is interesting because he generally will only say this about real dogs, not his stuffed Pluto or his Fisher-Price Little People dog.



"Banana," which he first uttered as an answer to Bubbe, who wanted to know what he wanted for lunch--it was one of the choices.

"Hello," which is rareish but he will bust it out now and then just to keep it real.

"Agua," which he usually pronounces "Aguawa" and I don't have to tell you that's friggin adorable. That one's new as of yesterday.

And I think he's starting to say "up" and "down" when he wants us to pick him up and "good" when he likes something but I'm not totally sure about those words just yet. He does a lot more gesturing and looking at things to tell us what he wants or doesn't want, and we generally understand what he's getting at.

He also does a good imitation of Shnitzel from Chowder's "Rada rada" which he and Steve will do back and forth. So cute.

He's trying really hard to say "Uncle Jason" and "Grover" but those come out more as mumbles. Again, I'm probably forgetting something he says but these are the popular ones we hear a lot.
