things John can say

purple- he says it to get a good reaction out of me. I think it sounds so cute, and its a two-syllable word! He doesn't understand that its a color

meat-he knows what this is. If you give him a piece of baloney or ham he says "meat". He stole the pepperoni off my slice of pizza the other day and said "meat"

More!- he seams to struggle to get this word out correctly. When he says this, he means it. Like when he eats all his portion of Mac & Cheese, he says more! and reaches out his hand. when he finishes his baba he holds it out and says either Mama or more. Both means he is demanding a refill.

Cheee- cheese. He can only get the first syllable out. He knows what it means.

He handed me something once, I think his baba for me to hold for him while he went to get a book, and he said Thankyou. He only did that once. I think he said sorry once after I told him no.

he says no, but he doesn't seem to quite grasp what it means, and we don't help him

he says buh-fly for butterfly, Duck (he loves pointing out ducks)
pop!- because in one of his books the baby bird pops out of the egg, and I bounce him up on my knee. so he says it when he jumps. he also says "papa" instead of "dada" sometimes

daddy- with a gap between the dad and the dy

cow- he can identify a cow and say moooo but its an unorthodox moo

kiddy- kitty. he says this sometimes but mostly he just says "hiss"

he still can't say Pig only "snort"
