Boo

Noah is really starting to imitate words and sounds a lot these days. It seems like he's picked up something new almost every day. Tuesday night we were giving him dinner and Mike was playing with him--kind of hiding behind the high chair and poking his head around and saying "Boo" to Noah. Noah thought it was really funny and was cracking up. After a few times, Mike stuck his head up and Noah looked right at him and said "Boo" before Mike could say it. I thought it was just about the cutest thing ever. They kept saying "boo" to each other and cracking each other up for a while after that. I love how much fun we all have together these days!

So, that got me thinking about how many words Noah actually says or at least tries to say at this point (some are just sounds that he makes because the word is too hard). Here's what we have so far:
Mama
Dada
Dog (Da)
That
Uh-oh (this is probably his favorite)
Down (also Da)
Out (ow)--this means out of the carseat or outside
Ball (ba)
Book (buh)
Up (uh)
Bye-Bye
Hi
Hello (ha-o)
Boo
All done (ah-da)--for when he wants to get out of the high chair

I feel like he tries to say a lot more than that but we're just not getting it yet. Of course some of these he's said a few times but we don't hear them very often, but he's getting better. Some are definitely just sounds that he makes repeatedly for something so we've begun to recognize them but he's definitely trying to imitate sounds and is understanding a lot and trying to communicate a lot more. I love it!
