Bowman Gets Verbal

I have to say that part of the reason I've been a bad blogger lately is that I'm so enjoying my new verbal skills that simple words on a page, or screen, aren't all that exciting to me anymore.  My day usually starts with an "Upees," which means I want to get out of my crib and get going.  It's short for "Up, please" that Grandpa worked hard to teach me this summer.

As soon as Mom gets me out of the crib, I usually say "go" "shooz" or "out," which all mean, "Let's get out of this apartment and explore."

Another of my favorite words is "wok" (walk) which I'm starting to combine into a phrase I use often, "go wok."

I also have words for lots of the things I like to do and put in my mouth, like "buk" (book) and the rhyming "muk" (milk).  I've learned that combining these words with assertive body language.  Like, if I say "eeet" and climb into my chair, it means I want a meal.  If grab an empty bottle and head for the fridge when I say "muk," I'm much more likely to get what I want sooner.  What fun it is to be starting to communicate!
