Talking at 2 and 2

Well, we've all been waiting for little GavittyGav to come out with sentences and he's off to a great start! He is 2yrs old and 2 months and he's talking away. If he could get another word in edge-wise, I'm sure he'd have more to say, but Gabe talks all the time and finishes thoughts for him.

Gavin wants to say so much and he knows exactly what we are all saying to him and asking of him. When we don't get it, he just keeps shaking his head and saying MO until we guess right. :) Gabe carries on mini-conversations with him all the time. Gavin tries so hard, but here are the things we can actually understand him to say, consistently:

Gabe
Mommy
Daddy
Hi or hey
Bye Bye
Me
Mine - Quite popular for a two yr old!
MO!- for NO!
unh hunh - for yes
Kay - for ok
Elmo - A big fave
eat
banana
apple
bubbles
milk
tea
need... (as in "I need__")
night night
bath time - which doesn't sound too much like bath time, but he knows what he means
teeth
mouth
poo poo
pee pee
yay!
eight - his favorite number
school

Wow, that's 27 words! We're SO proud of that little guy. Stay tuned for more to come...I know it will be real soon and we won't even remember the days of pointing and MO!
