(July 6-12, 2014)
At two years old, Asher has become a complete chatterbox. The kid talks CONSTANTLY! When he was still a baby, I got the idea off of Pinterest to keep a book of what he says...something that we could keep track of the words he says (& how he says them), along with the funny things he says as he grows up. Like many of the ideas and good intentions that I have, I didn't get around to actually starting this book for a long time. However, a few months back I did finally start trying to record these things and while we were on vacation this week I was bound and determined to make a list of every word he knows...or at least those that we could remember. Here is what we came up with. I couldn't believe the amount of words he already knows and the list grows more and more every day!

At this point, this is what I can think of, but I know there are more. I cannot believe how large the list is. His vocabulary his really taken off in the last couple of months! In addition to the individual words he says, he is starting to put words together to make simple sentences and has also started to sing a lot. It makes me happy because I have been told my entire life that I learned to sing before I learned to talk and would often sing (at the top of my lungs) in the car before I knew any words to put with them (which apparently drove my brother totally crazy!). Although Asher sings at a much more reasonable volume level, I can't help but smile at the thought that he got that from me...and I will say that he actually has pretty good pitch too! :)
