Max-isms

Max, being the 2nd child, hasn't gotten as much written in his baby book, poor guy. I haven't recorded every little word or new trick. (In fact, horrible -- he has about 4 new teeth that haven't been written in his book!!) But I started thinking about all Maxer says and wanted to blog it...I think I'll even print it out and stick it in his book!

Words and signs used together (not all official baby signs or even exact ASL):


  • bye
  • ball ("ball-ball")

  • more

  • teet-teet (with sign for bird)

  • kack (with sign for duck, which is basically the same as bird)

  • banana ("nana"), his version of the banana sign is really cute

  • airplane (accompianied by the vrumm noise)

  • hi! ("ah-uh!" with a little inflection and a wave)

  • yes (with big head nod)

  • rain (says "ra-ra")

  • no-no ("nah-nah") with little wagging pointer finger
Words only:
  • Mama! (he's been yelling this from his crib or highchair)

  • Da! (for Daddy)

  • "sat?" "sis?" (what's that?/this?)

  • moo (for cows)

  • cookie ("du-dee!")

  • "vrumm" for cars or trucks

  • no ("nah") when he doesn't want something

  • water ("wa-wa")

  • bubbles ("bubba")

  • "weeeeee" going down slides or swinging

Signs only:

  • eat

  • drink

  • paci

  • blankie

  • outside (one of his FAVORITE things)

  • bath

  • please

(saying please)


  • thank you (only when he feels like it - working on this one)

  • finished

  • help

  • book

  • light

  • hear that? (puts hand to ear - here, the train in his hand was making noise)

Among his favorite things also - the vaccum, swiffer or dirt devil.

Sweet boy...

That's awesome that you are teaching him to sign as well as speak. And he is so cute!

I think I see more of Andy in him in these most recent pictures. He looks so much older all of the sudden.

I LOVE the pic with the vacuum. Matt loved vacuums when he was little and even had a vacuum cleaner birthday party, complete with a Dirt Devil cake.

Your Max reminds me of my Matt. :o)
