Update on Brinson, 16 months old 8/27/07

Just to let you know...I am slow at updating! He He He...as if you hadn't figured that out. We have had some fun lately and Brinson is growing leaps and bounds. I tested him a month ago (15mos) and he has the receptive and expressive language of a 2 year old...My LOVE is so smart...at least we think so of course. He is putting some short phrases together and has numerous words and new word-approximations daily.

He can clearly be understood saying: I see you, momma, daddy, done, down, bye bye kiss, read daddy, bye bye daddy, balloon, all done, yummy, uh oh, hat, swim, ball, toot, cup, juice, bite, duck, potty, Bo, cow, moo, hi, go, kick, cake, cook, no no, night night, some more, doggie, get it, kiss, cat, pop pop and yes. Other words are not as clear such as: sh/sit, now omits-p in up, d/banana, fish is distorted, dropped the nack and started just saying s-s-s- for snack, shoes (final s for z sound), omits-r and distorts the medial-n saying Brinson, omits-r in truck (final t for k sound), distorts final t in hot, omit-l sleepy, changes the vowel sound in papa and baby. He still signs when he want to...especially for drink, eat, bird, fish, duck, phone and up...and nods his head yes and no!
