More new words

Milo is learning new words faster than I can get them noted. He knows "car" and "good job." We tell him "good job" a lot, and he always claps for himself when we say it. Now he repeats it, then claps. Adorable.

Buh

Milo's latest word is "buh." Any guesses on what that means? I'll give you a hint: it's a feathered, flying animal that, if early, gets the worm.

A New Word

At Milo's 12-month check-up, the doctor asked if Milo had said any words yet. We said that he could say "kitty," but nothing else. She said that by his 15-month check-up, he would probably know three to five words. I brushed it off, thinking, "No way. He's been saying 'kitty' for a month. How could he possibly get five more words in just a few short months?"

But. (You know where this is going, eh?) After breakfast this morning I asked Milo if he was ready to get up, and he raised his arms and so clearly said, "Up. Up."

I said, "Did you just say 'up'? You totally just said 'up!' Yay!" And that is literally how it went. I know you all appreciate the play-by-play.

So maybe Milo will have three to five words by June 21. (By the way, Andrew thinks Milo can say "balloon" too, but I'm not convinced.)
