Josiah’s words
19 Apr 2011 Leave a Comment
Josiah has been slow to speak, which I have been reassured by many-a-mom and internet article is perfectly normal for boys his age. But lately, he’s had a few words creep into his vocabulary, something this lil talkative momma is super excited about. I mean, in a few months I’ll have a new constant talking companion! I’ll soon say sayonara to lonely days.
So among those words that are slowly making their way into our comprehension (because, really, he has a huge vocabulary, it’s just not English):
kahk = truck (which really means “car,” b/c almost all of his toy cars are trucks, and so I have always called them trucks. Of course, this is perfect for a boy who’s dad’s beloved Rosco (aka Ford F150) is still his dream car (truck)).
chees = please. This word has pleasantly made its way back into Josiah’s vocabulary, after a two month hiatus. It was really his first word, unless you count “dada.”
dada = dada.
bau = ball
baba/mama = mama. Of course, this is the most pleasing word I can imagine. He isn’t using it regularly, but enough for me to love love love it!
bahbah = byebye. He regularly uses this little phrase, waving his little hand and blowing a kiss. He does it when one of us leaves him to go upstairs, or from the living room to the kitchen (all of five feet around the corner).
We were recently looking at a picture of NaeNae and Papaw (my parents), and I thought I’d try out his ability to imitate. He did! He successfully got out a NahNah and Pahpah!
It’s so fun watching his language develop, to see him start to communicate in the world.
What stories will you tell us, Josiah?
