Jackson has a 4 word vocabulary - Da-Da, Dog, Uh Oh, and Gross. A unique mix I know, but dog and uh oh are his 2 favorite and will NOT say any of them on command. He says them when he wants, not when you ask. He only blows kisses on command. I need to add that dog and eat are his favorite signs with more being a close second. Matt would also tell you that Jackson can say Mama, but I don't agree. He can make the sound, but does not associate Mama with me like he does with his other words. Any way - to the main point of this story. Not only did Jackson learn two new words this weekend he would say them on command. Nana and Papa!!
We went to stay with Nana and Papa this weekend and go to a wedding in Alabama. Jackson woke up on Saturday morning saying Nana. It was out of the blue and so cute! Then at lunch we were working on Papa, and low and behold out came the words Pop-A. Not only would he say it on command he just kept repeating it. Papa was his favorite person all weekend and kind of hurt everyone else's feelings including mine, but I am so glad the little dude loves his Papa, especially since that is who he is names after.
Even when we made it home and told Da-Da about it (Da-Da was on call and had to stay home), he would repeat Pop-A for Matt. It was so cute!
Munchkin went with us too and I wondered if that would confuse Jackson since we were mixing families up on him, but it didn't phase him a bit, it just meant more people for him to entertain. This kid is a ham and will do anything to get you to clap for him. Sigh. Lord help us all!
Maybe Mama will be incorporated into his vocabulary soon, but I am afraid all the grand and great grand parents might have to wait on their names to be added to the list. They are all a little harder to say, except for maybe Paw....
