So the other day I compiled a list of words that Ezekiel can say just for fun. I knew his list had been growing but was amazed at the amount once I sat down and got a running count going. Granted, only a small handful are actual full words. Some don't even sound like the word he is trying to say but over time, within context, we have learned what word he is trying to say when he makes that certain sound. For example, "ba" is shoe. Even after months of conversations such as...
E: "ba"
Me: "Yes, Mommy is putting on her shoes."
E: "Ba!"
Me: "Yes, shhhhoe!"
E: "Baa!"
Me: "Yes, can you say shhhhhoe?"
E: "Baaaaaa"
he still calls shoes "ba", ha :)
