These are the words I would say.

My son is a talker.  Now, perhaps he'll grow out of it someday, if he's like his dad, but if he's like me, he's more than likely not planning to slow down anytime soon.  With that being said, here are some of the words that he can say (and actually pronounce well enough that someone other than me can understand him):

1. Mama
2. Dada (though, he still get a bit confused about these two and sometimes just says "Mamadada" as one word to cover all the bases)
3. Andrew (pronounced "Ann-Doo")
4. All done
5. Mat(t)
6. Henry (He just says "Hen", but points to a picture of his friend, Henry, while saying it)
7. Pizza
8. Nose
9. Eye
10. Mouth
11. Hair
12. Head
13. Ear
14. Socks
15. Bath (One of his favorites!  He LOVES to take a "baff"!!!)
16. Boom (and a whole host of other sound effects)
17. Woody and Buzz (from "Toy Story")
18. Get down
19. No
20. More
21. Yes
22. Horse
23. House
24. Home
25. Pray
26. Amen
27. Bed/Rest/Nap
28. Tree
29. Snow (well, actually, he says "NO!!!!" but when we're outside, and with such vim and vigor, that it's clear that he's discussing snow and not joyfully and enthusiastically objecting to something).
30. Book
31. Box
32. Love you (he's still working on this one, but it's so cute when he says it that I'm counting it in this list)
33. Juice
34. Pen
35. Deoxyribonucleaic acid (ok, he can't say this one yet, but he's learning so quickly that I feel as if it's just around the corner!)

**Edit: I can't believe how many words I forgot to mention...many of them are staples!  They include the following: hello, bye bye, hi, Wii (sad, I know), Elmo, nice (which he says with a lovely southern drawl), fork, spoon, cat, dog, Bible, dance, tushy and banana.**

Also, my favorite animal sounds are the cow: "boooooooo" and the rooster "caaaa doodoo".  My son is such a delight.

In other news, the snow continues to fall beautifully, if a bit inconveniently.  My road is better than many, though, and both of our cars handle the elements well.  I have made lists for shopping at four stores this week, so I am hopeful that I will be able to accomplish those, and a few other errands.  With roads that (according to Joe, who left at 5:30 this a.m. for work) were not great today, and a forecast that promises up to 6 more inches between this afternoon and tomorrow morning, my window for accomplishment on this day seems to be rather small.  But, I really need to get to Costco and Target, so I may try to get out anyway.

I also need to get to the grocery store and to Trader Joe's (which is on the other side of the city, and is thus not so easy to get to with road surfaces being poor), particularly if we plan to eat dinner this week.  And, I went on a Hunt for New Recipes this past weekend, so I'm eager to try them.  Well, as "they" say (WHO ARE "THEY", by the way?!), this, too, shall pass.

5:
1. New recipes are always fun!  And the ones I recently found fit the following qualifications: kid-friendly, healthy, Joe and Kristen-friendly (we both have specific eating preferences, and they are not the same, so in the Venn Diagram of Food, it can be hard to find things that appear in the overlapping space), and whose hands-on time is one hour or less.  If anything tastes as wonderful as I hope it will, I will pass it on.
2. Simple reminders of how blessed I am.
3. Having a spare lightbulb with the correct wattage just when it's needed.
4. Expecting to buy something at a certain price, and then learning it's on a bigger sale than expected, and paying even less for it!
5. Being able to renew my library books for a SECOND time so that I will actually have the opportunity to finish them all (just in time for a new wave to arrive for me to begin!)
