The other day, Z said "cheese". We were taking a photo of him and we were saying cheese and he said it too. Now anyone besides his parents wouldn't know that the sound he was saying was "cheese", but we know, and that is all that really matters.
Word two: Also, the other day, he said "kitty". Now I'm not really sure he said kitty. It sounded like kitty and he said it multiple times, immediately after I was saying it to him, but he hasn't said it since (he has said cheese a few times after that). One of the reasons that he probably hasn't said it again is because he has sign language for kitty.
Word three: Down. Tonight at dinner, each time he knocked his sippy cup down, he said "down". Again, if you're not his parents, you probably don't know what he is saying...but I had a witness...my dad says it was down too. Dad says he said up too, but I don't agree with that yet.
Z does baby sign language....he can do the following signs....more, please, eat, milk, all done, kitty, dog, and frog (just about). We're working on fruit now, b/c he loves fruit.
