19 months old

It's hard to believe that Sam is already 19 months old, but everyone warned me it would go this fast so I guess I shouldn't find it so surprising.  Probably the most exciting part about this age for us is that Sam is finally starting to talk!  We worried it would never come, but it seems like now he has just about a new word every day.   I was trying to think about all of the words he has by now, and decided that the easiest thing to do would be to record them here so that I have a record of it.  So, here is where we are at this point (25 words or so):

Mama

Papa

ball

basketball (well, more like ba-ball, but he gets the context right!)

cat

dog

duck

bird

cow (well, he usually says "moo" for a cow, but close enough!)

fish

Elmo (terrible, I know)

nose

bone (he loves the dog's bone)

help

water

juice

keys

up

down

open

no (doe any toddler not know this word??!!)

yes

mmmMa (that's Grandma at this point)

mmmPa (Grandpa)

girl

baby

shoe

Anyway, the hair is also starting to get quite unruly, so at some point I am going to have to cut it but wanted to make sure I had a good shot of the curls!  So, here he was playing with his trucks this morn....pretty good bed head, eh?!
