Tate has really been taking off these last couple of weeks in the talking category. It's amazing to witness such radical changes in things he learns from day to day. He's connecting 2 words often and occasionally connecting 3 words. He does this thing though (I don't know if it's normal for kids his age) that he uses one word to refer to many things. Here are some examples...
-When Tate says "faffle" (which means waffle), he is referring to any breakfast foods (ie...waffles, pancakes, cereal, french toast, toast), "faffle" means breakfast.
-When Tate says "wader" (which means water), he is referring to water OR milk...anything to drink which all he drinks is water and milk, so "wader" means either.
-When Tate says "soos" (which means shoes), he is referring to anything on his feet (ie...shoes, socks, slippers), so "soos" means anything on his feet.
-When Tate is tired and says "puppy", he is referring to all of his sleeping necessities (ie...puppy, taggies, Mickey blanket). When he's not tired and heading to bed or a nap though, "puppy" is acutually referring to a dog.
-When Tate says "appow" (which means apple), he is referring to any fruit. He calls all fruits "appows".
When Tate does dare devilish things, I call him an acrobat. I'll say, "geez Tate, you're an acrobat!" Or something like that. Today, Tate was climbing up on the end table in his toy room and he said, "mama, I a bat!" It was seriously, so cute! I laughed and he kept saying it over and over. He is at such a fun age!
