Chatty Jackie

Jack loves to talk. He wakes up every morning and goes to sleep every night talking. There is no meaning to the words he strings together, which makes it even more funny and cute: "Hi, Jo-Jo, lunch, one, two, three, apple, key, etc."

He is soaking words like a sponge. Yesterday, I walked downstairs and Paul showed Jack a flashcard with an octagon on it, "Ak-gon!" Really? An octagon? It seems that he grabs something or looks at it, we identify it and he's got it. Then he likes to point out all the things he knows. Sitting in his high chair eating, he'll excitedly point and say, "Ight" (light) or "gato". He's showed us this a million times but he still loves it. A couple of days ago, he put two of his words together to say "More, please."

He is also now adding more endings to words. We are no longer "Mama" and "Dada" but instead "Momm-eeee" and "Dad-eee". This started this the other day when he was standing in the family room, noticed the pictures on the mantel, pointed and said "Popp-eee" (He's always just said "Pop".) Instead of calling meat "emmmm" at dinner, he is now calling it "Meeeat". He is constantly cracking us up with his new words and his chattiness. Who knows what his baby sister will be like? His chattiness plus GIRL?? We could be in for it!
