Sentences. Well, kind of.

Owen's vocabulary is expanding quite rapidly at this point. We've lost track of how many words he knows (upwards of 50?) but what has been fascinating lately is to listen to him start to put them together to make sentences. 

Here are some recent examples:

(right after surgery)

"Where Elmo go?"

"Night, night mommies."

(when referring to the TV being turned off)

Owen: "Elmo off?"

Me: "Yes, Elmo is off"

Owen: "Elmo on!"

Craig: "Owen, what kinds of food do you like?"

Owen: "Pizza, bock-bock (chicken), cheese, crackers...mmmmmm."

(after waking him up from his nap)

"Bye, bye nap."

And here are a few of the words he's kind of made up:

"Newt-newt" = Fig Newton

"Laquers"=Crayons or colors

"Boot"=Spoon (no idea where that came from)

"Applesop"=Applesauce (he's close!)

"Debbie"=used for any word he doesn't know.
