Sprout
My husband, who has a very high tolerance for silly, says that I am pushing the silly envelope with my last two posts. And now for something less silly and more sentimental.
In honour of 'Sprout', my son, turning 15 months old today, we have counted up all the words we have heard him say so far.

Happy Birthday, Sprout. It's been a wild ride.

The sprout sounds relatively brilliant. And his other activities (pinching) remind me of the ankle-biting phase (hey, I was busy at the drawing table!) and the screaming phase. At 21, my daughter shows no lasting effects from passing through them.
Smart was good in my family also. Now I wish I'd done more with "finish" or "accomplish". My second daughter craves a wide variety of things to do, but after a taste, prefers moving on to something else rather than developing expertise. Then again, it may be her personality as opposed to the way I raised her.
Now you have to teach Sprout to say "squirrel"...
methinks someone forgot to mention he can say "shit" quite clearly. what a smart nephew i have! auntie will teach you to swear in thai when she gets home! shhhhhhh!
