growing baby

The words, they are a-comin’.  Since the last post Mateo’s added the following words to his repertoire:

Ba (for ball)

Hoyo (Spanish for hole)

I (he recognizes the letter “I”)

Niña (girl in Spanish)

Odin (Russian for the number 1; he recognizes the shape, but not the concept yet)

Open

Pan (bread)

Up (& sometimes “down”)

Of course, Mateo doesn’t always use words appropriately.  For example, the other day we were on a walk and there was an older lady coming down the street in a wheelchair.  As soon as he saw her, Mateo pointed at her and said “baby! baby!”  He kept on pointing and saying “baby” as we walked up to her and beyond.  I guess wheelchair = stroller = baby.  Oh, Mateo…
