Vocabulary Update..

I think It's time I start taking a note of T's vocab.. He's blabbering non stop and some of it does make sense..
In addition to mamma and hot he now says...
bapa - for P
bah - for ball
bahyee - for bye
anth - for ant
huth - to hit something that he wants to get back at for hurting him (i'm not happy about this but either my folks or the maid has taught him and he uses it frequently)
and something that sounds like ' acha hai' or 'atha hai'.. normally used when he likes something ...

He also uses some gestures extremely effectively like..
Shake his head wildly from one side to another means No and a big one at that..
Shake his head from top to bottom.. wildly again means Yes..
Opens and shuts his palm and points at something or someone to show what he wants...
Points his finger at the dog and motions her to sit.. not that she pays any heed to that but its fun watching...
And of course, the dance... any form of music or even a repetitive noise or sometimes nothing.. (as if some music is playing in his head) starts him off.. the dance can be just an index finger moving bhangra style or the torso going back and forth or even the legs moving in funny odd ways.. but all of it in sync with the beat... lol

I don't think he's interested in walking at all .. he's happy crawling and just wants to use up all his energy in talk, talk and more talk.. he's definitely taken on P's side of the family.. :)

he better find some distinguishable alternative for my name before I get there - if not then his mommy doesn't get the sex and the city complete series :P
