People often ask if Ainsworth is talking yet. And I've said for a long time yes! He's been talking for ages. But I know what they really mean is is he using any words yet. Well, yes, he's been using a few more and more lately, and the other night Rachael sat down and made list. this is what we can remember hearing so far (in no particular order):
Bobo (the monkey in Hug)
Boo!
Poo (which sounds like boo but usually comes with pointing at his bottom)
Up
Down
Mamma
Dadda
Bear
Blue
Banana
Uh, oh!
Oh dear!
Big
Cheers
Cheese
Dark
Brrr! (I think this counts as a word. Must remember it next time I'm playing scrabble!)
Bye Bye
As well as saying words, he's still signing, and the amazing thing is he'll still occasionally surprise us by using a sign he's never used before. He signed "orange bus" the other day. He's done "bus" a lot but orange was completely new to us.
There is so much more I could say. Maybe next time!
(I wonder if it's possible to set up some kind of template that automatically starts every post with "oh my goodness it's been far too long since I've put anything on here"? It would save me the bother of saying so every time.)
