Say What?!

Felix's vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds, and he understands much more than he says.  (I've started cautioning Nick on his language during sporting events because of it.)

If you happen to find yourself around Felix anytime soon, please use this handy Fel-ish-English translation guide:

• "Ah Dah" = All Done
• "Ah-puh" = Apple
• "Ai" = Hi!
• "Bah" = Ball
• "Bock" = Box
• "Book" = Same
• "Bubbuh" = Bubble
• "Buppy" = Bucky (He said only once. Now he just calls him "Buh")
• "Bye" = Same
• "Go" = Same
• "Kah-kah" = Cracker
• "Kok" = Sock or Clock
• "Luka" = His friend, Lucas
• "Muh" = More
• "Muk" = Milk
• "My" = Mine
• "Nah-Nah" = Either banana or his friend Alana
• "Nek" = Neck
• "Nuk" = Pacifier, one I was hoping he wouldn't pick up on so quickly
• "No" = Same
• "Row" = Roll
• "Uh-Oh" = Same
• "Up" = Up, On or Off (haven't quite determined which, or else it might mean Light)
• "Wawa" = Water
• "Wock" = Watch (as in wrist)

He also attempts a quacking noise like a duck, but it sounds like he's clearing his throat.  Kid's got some German in him. :o)  He says "Rawr" when you put a puppet on his hand and he shoves it back in your face.  He raises one arm to mimic an elephant's trunk.  He will spin around and make himself dizzy if you say "spin".  I'm amazed that at this young age he understands a request like "put it back".  He likes playing with his little doctor kit, and actually attempts to use each item correctly.  His favorite book right now is the Go Badgers, My First Wisconsin Words book (probably because it has two pictures of Bucky in it).  He will give kisses when he's in the mood.  When I put him down for bed, he immediately turns over and points at the humidifier, my cue to plug it in.  My little, wonderful, amazing man.
