And the word of the day is.....

Actually, it's more like the word of the last few weeks! Jacob must say "uh-oh" at least a hundred times a day -- sometimes in the correct context, sometimes not, but he knows what it means. At least he says "uh-oh" now instead of "uh-huh" like he used to! :)

His vocabulary is very rapidly expanding and he's beginning to repeat words we use in conversation. He said, "shoot," the other day after he heard me say it when I tripped over the vacuum cord. Also, Heath called him Mr. Cool when he was wearing his sunglasses, so now Jacob puts on his sunglasses and walks around the house saying, "pool" -- his version of "cool." Anyway, people are always asking me what new words he is saying now, so I thought I'd make a list of a few along with Jacob's pronunciation.

chair............shoor

shoe............ shoo

football.......poo-bah

ball..............bah

rock............dot

block..........dot

chex...........dex

sand...........at

water........wah-wah (he's said that for a long time)

juice..........shoosh

cup...........up

yummy....nummy (he knows this one thanks to our friends, The Wiggles)

fruit.........oot

couch.......owsh

bed..........ett

bunny.....munn-ee (this is his latest accomplishment. He used to call a bunny a "nana," but all of a sudden, he walked up to me with his Pat the Bunny book and said, "munn-ee.")

dog..........dot

Daddy....dad-ee (Heath is now officially Daddy -- not Da-da or Ma-ma like he once was! He's very excited about this.)

Pooh.....pooh (He loves Winnie the Pooh)

diaper...da-da

door......doh

push.....ush

step.....tep

Jacob.....dah-tub

Jacob says many, many more words -- too many to list here -- but this gives you an idea.
