Tiny talks

A little bit on London's words.

"Doggy" started out as "guggy" and has moved to "goggy".

He's not good at making 's' and 'th' noises, and some terminal consonants disappear. "Mouth" is just "mou", and "boat" is "bo". "Sky" is not "sky" but "a-ky". "Truck" is "guck".

He says "night-night" and "bye-bye" perfectly. If you ask him if he made the stink, he sometimes says "poo!" If you offer him a "piece of cheese" he says "pee-a-chee". "Banana", not surprisingly, is "nana". "Flower" is "ow-a".

"Elephant" is still "elepoe" and "dinosaur" is still "Guh!"

If you ask him a direct question, he usually says "no". "No", of course, means "yes" and "maybe" but never actually "no"--at least not yet.

"Eh-mo" and "jooosssss!!" are still his favorite and most used words. Sometimes he will play a game with us. He'll point at something that is not juice and say "Jooosss!" We'll say, "Not juice." "Jooosss!" "Not juice!" and so on until both sides are laughing.

If he sees a picture of a baby, or if he sees himself in the mirror, he says, "baby". That's my favorite.
