Words Words Words

Tate has hit a stage of speedy development again. Just in the last few weeks he's started talking and copying us so much more. It's fun to hear him try to say what we're saying and watch him figure out what things actually mean. He repeats a lot of words we say, and then one day he'll point to something and say a word and we realize he's made the connection. "That's right Tate, that is a birdie!" It's fun...and a little scary at the same time when he hits these stages when he figures out so much, so fast. It kinda freaks me out. Slow down little man. I'm in absolutely no hurry for you to grow up.

There are a lot of words he says that he doesn't know the meaning of. But these we think he has these figured out. I wanted to record the words that he knows before there are too many.
