Ut Oh - "No"

James is about to turn 18 months this week and he is growing so fast! Hopefully later this week after this doctors appointment I will talk about his 18 month stats and new habits, but I wanted to talk about one now- the "No" word!

James likes to babble (not as much as girls his age, but he does talk) but usually only Matt and I understand him. Case in point:

"Bu" ("u" sounds like umbrella) = book
"Be" ("e" sounds like elephant) = Bear
"Ba" ("a" sounds like animal) = Blanket
"Ma" ("a" sounds like awesome) = Mom
"Mu" ("u" sounds like utter) = milk
"ball" = ball
"ca" ("a" sounds like awesome) = car
"foo" = food
"wa" = water
"puh" = please
"e" ("e" sounds like elephant) = yes
"chee" = cheese
"gudge" = George (for Curious George)

and before this week:
"uh" = no

BUT as of Saturday:
"no" = no

I know this is silly, but he says "no" SO clearly and it is so fun to see this little milestone. He hasn't started the phase of "no" for everything, but if he doesn't want a certain food when we offer it to him, he casually now says, "no".

Oh the simple things that make a mom smile!
