The Conversationalist

Tucker has learned a lot of words recently and continues to learn more every day. I have a whole list written down and he can handle a lot of two syllable words. He has also just started to put two words together since he said "car keys" today! It's nice that he can answer some questions now though if he is crabby the answer to everything may be "no". He is still mainly obsessed with the dog, Gracie, our cat Nate (he finally says "kitty" since all cats were Nate until the other day), the neighbor dog, Brandy, plus the moon and cookies. He can identify the moon when its visible during the day even. He also loves to talk about the neighbor, Dan (all men are Dan or Dada), all blond women are "Mama" and now he can say "Jaima" (his aunt) which seems to mean brunettes. It's too funny. And being that he is a boy, he loves to say truck, car, plane, and his new ones are "cycle" for motorcycles and bicycles, and "copter" for helicopters. We also beep when the wagon goes backwards like the trucks in the alley.

For those of you that haven't heard, he now has a favorite toy and it's his blue bucket. He also says "bucket" and "shovel" a lot. We have to make sure he sleeps with it now since it's his teddy bear. It's funny when he is crying for it. Yeah ... real cuddly ... a bucket.
