Words.

I have been meaning to compile a list of Ronan’s words… mostly for posterity, but also to see them all written down.

I will write the word as it is intended, and then how he actually says it.

Words:

Dada – “Dah DA”

Mama – Was “Buh buh” until this week, now “Muh MA”

Woof woof – “Wooh wooh”

Hello – “AaOH”

Who is it – “Hoooisit?”

Up – “UH!” (While pointing up.)

Down – “DOW!” (While pointing down.)

Ball – “Bah!”

Darla – “DARLA!” (Always said excitedly… from Finding Nemo.)

No – “Na na na na na.”

All Done – “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH done.”

Hot – “Haw!”

Go – “Go!”

Do – “Do”

That – “Daat”

See – “See”

Door – “Doo-r” (He makes it a two syllable word somehow.)

Words I have heard one or two times, and never again:

Banana – “Ba Na NA”

Cracker – “Cracker”

Wow – “Wow”

Outside – “OWWWWWWWWWW siiiiiiiide”

Cheese – “Cheee”

And also, a list of signs we know and use mostly correctly:

Please

Thank You

Eat

Drink

Milk

All Done

Banana

More

Poop/Potty

Dirty

Hurt

Hot

Cold

Bath

Ronan is 22 months old.

    How wonderful! By the sounds of it, Ronan is doing really
    well. My little one will be 21 months old soon as she’s a little
    behind on the verbal curve. Can’t wait til she starts talking more. :)

    I took a course on First Language Acquisition and we
    learned ALL about the various things children turn words into when
    they’re first learning to speak. I still think it’s one of the most
    interesting topics in the entire world! And I think it’s cool that
    you wrote them down like that. I really loved reading this
    list!
