Brennan's Words

Brennan has quite a few words that he says now. He has surprised Mommy a couple of different times by naming something when he sees it that I didn't know he knew. He repeats words that I say all the time (not listed below) but will not say a word if you ask him to. The words listed are the ones that he says on his own. Here is the list:

all done
amen (??? he says something at the end of the prayer everytime, but it doesn't really sound like amen)
apple
ball
book
bottle
bye (inconsistent)
cheese
Cheez-It
cracker
Dad
Daddy
diaper
done
down
drink
Grandad (only twice so far)
Grandpa (only once so far)
Mommy
more
please (very inconsistent)
Rachel
shoes
sit
sock
thank you (inconsistent)
this
uh-oh (a very fun word)
up
yes
zoo (several times, but only yesterday)

Great example of using words to communicate what he wants: Brennan loves for Mommy and Daddy to sit on the floor and read books to him. Yesterday he took a book to Daddy, said "book", and then said, "sit." Daddy was trying to go out to work on the lawn but could not resist when Brennan was so clearly letting him know that he wanted him to sit down and read him a book.

One of these days we'll wish he wouldn't talk so much, but it sure is fun hearing him now. :)
