GE is 20-months old and appears to be mostly taking after me in terms of personality, including his outgoing-ness and his love of talking. Like GD, we attempted to teach GE sign language when he was a baby but GE has always preferred to just use speech. He has quite a sense of humor and surprises us daily with the things that he says Here are just a few of his most common words and phrases in case you ever need help in translating.
(I did a post like this on my old blog for GD when he was about 15 months. I reposted it here if you want to check it out; the communication styles between my two boys is vastly different!)
Da: 1. Mommy; 2. Daddy; 3. Brother; 4. The universal term for any or all family members. For example, every morning at 0630 he calls out from his bed "Da!" to mean "would one of you please get me out of this crib!?"
