Jaxon is now 21 months old. He is really active and loves to play and have fun. He can say his full abc's and recognizes about 75 % of the letters. He gets so excited when we are driving around and points out various letters on signs, etc. If you ask him the following letters he will respond with these answers:
What is a B for? BUBBA
What is a D for? DADDA
What is a J for? JAXON
What is an H for? ABOO (Aunt Heidi)
What is a M for? MAMA
What is a G for? BAMP-PA (Grandpa)
What is a U for? BRELLA (Umbrella)
What is a K for? DORB (Korb)
By far his favorite letter is "W" (dubba) His newest "skill" is just this week he starting sounding out the letters. His first one has been "S' (probably one of the easier ones, but still pretty remarkable for a one and a half year old - if I do say so) Anytime he sees an S anywhere he points, gets all excited and says Sssssss.
We have K O R B in big letters in our living room and many mornings when he gets up he runs to the top of the stairs and points to them and names them and then says "Dorb", that's how he says Korb. LOL. He can also count to 11 - after that it gets a little jumbled up and you can't really recognize the numbers, you just here hsmsmteeen, rmfsteen, always with the "teen" on the end. He loves learning, reading, playing ball, playing with his rake, shovel, and trucks in the dirt outside, and loves to clean (even going on walks he picks up all the rocks and things that are on the sidewalks and puts them in their appropriate place!) Along with all of his other words, here are a few of the really cute ones and how he pronounces them.
Moon - "Moom"
Spoon - "Spoo"
Hand - "Han"
Forest (my dad's dog) - "Fff..."
Jesse - "Jjet"
Heidi - "Aboo"
Grandpa - Bamp-pa"
Great Grandma - "Grammy"
School Bus -"School Bups"
Moose - "Moops"
Music - "MooMak"
More Applesauce - "More Ah-Ah"
Dip - "Dips"
Dog Treat - "Deet"
Ipod - "Ipob"
Shaunae - "Neigh-Neigh"
Doug - "Dode"
Snack - "Nack"
Ice - "Eyetz"
Please - "Meems"
(Definitely melts my heart and is hard to resist when he looks up and says "Meems Mama")
He is becoming such a little independent person and it's fun to watch him grow, learn and explore new things. We are having a blast exposing him to as much as we can and love to see the looks on his face when he discovers and learns! We feel so blessed to have him in our lives, it's so hard to believe that his second birthday will be here before we know it!
