Ty is talking lots more now (more as in more than he did a month, week, and day ago...). I first started keeping a spreadsheet of what he says, how it's pronounced by him, and when we first started hearing it. Really, though, that's ridiculous. So, I decided I should probably just write down our favorite phrases/words of his right now.
-"Wubbypup:" Lollipop; he likes to repeat this one lots when he has one/hears about one
-"Open door:" To him, open door means open anything; we have to explain to him that not everything that needs to be opened is a door. (i.e. lids, boxes...)
-Orange: Started out "Ah-meal" now it's "Oh-ohnj"
-"Byoo car:" Sometimes instead of just saying the color of an object, he'll follow it with car...maybe because that's how he learned lots of his colors in the first place.
-"Teh-ble:" Terrible. I just heard this one today for the first time while he was kicking a balloon like a soccer ball. On the good kicks, he would chase down the balloon and say "Goo' one!", but the less-good ones were deemed terrible by him. Where did he get that?
-"Runner!:" this means "chase me," or "I'm going to run" or something along the moving-his-legs-fast lines.
-"Ready--GO!:" There's no "set" in there...He also says, "Ready--hike! Hike!" over and over.
-"Miss!:" Again related to playing with a ball, if his throw is off or the ball doesn't go in the basket, he calls "miss." This was particularly funny when we were watching a basketball game and right after the quiet bricked free-throw, Ty shouted, "MISS!" I'm sure that made the shooter feel great...
-"Yub you:" Love you, too Ty.
-"Feekin:" Means fix it...
-"Noo-nohs:" He most often answers that he wants to eat noodles for every meal. That and "Yogit."
-"Pockle:" Popsicle; with the heat comes eating of popsicles, which for Ty means about 1/3 of an otter pop. It takes him as long to eat that as it does for me to eat the other 2/3 and he's just as happy. :)
-"Kee-Kyu:" Carry you. After a few small spills down some stairs, Ty is very careful when descending a staircase, so more than 1/2 the time he asks to be carried down, especially down the concrete steps of our apartment. We oblige.
-"Up-Down:" Anytime he's throwing something in the air, playing with his car elevator thing...it's just a common phrase of his.
-And let's not forget car names: "Gini"=Lamborghini, "Por-sah"=Porsche, "Gwuck"=truck, "Se-kick-a"= Celica, "Mar-teen"=Aston Martin, "Coh-vette"=Corvette, "Sebby"=Shelby Cobra
Ty also says and recognizes letters A-Z and is starting to do sounds of them (like "B says 'buh'") and counts up to 20. He knows basic colors and a handful of shapes. I think we need to slow his learning down a bit...time to watch Sponge Bob! (Just kidding.) I'm glad we get to spend a lot of time with him and watch him learn new things.
