Chatter Box Nate

So first first word was "Dada" then "Momma" back in December of 2008 and now his new word is "cat" and even makes a high pitch noise that is him mimicking a cat's meow, so frigin cute. He has almost mastered hi, duck, car (vroom vroom is what follows but he says that about the fan and my hairdryer, hee hee hee), bubbles, bye, ball and beer (Oh yeah baby he says ber, he's working on the full beer word but for now we understand ber). There is more but these seem to be the most popular. He is picking up things pretty fast now and he is using his sign language. I encourage him to use it and not just point and grunt, such a boy, LOL. He can sigh for ball, more, eat, milk, cookie, finished (or all done), and is trying to do a version of bath. He also sign's for milk when he wants a drink so we are trying to get him to do the proper sign for drink. I have to admit that it's such a great feeling when he does a new sign for me after trying and trying. Makes his Mommy proud.
He has a book of signs from the library that he really enjoys with great pictures and he points and says the word so it's a win win situation.
When he gets going he is very chatty and his most recent sound I would say not so much a word is him mimicking the cat "meow" sound off his guitar that he got from Mat, Buffy and Bailey for his B-Day. He'll say cat then make a high pitched meow sound which is sooo damn cute. I'm still trying to get that on video.
