Practicing Word Sounds

Vince is a very talkative baby. He's always babbling and practicing different word sounds, consonants, etc., and goes all out quite often with screaming at the top of his lungs just to hear himself do it. The yelling mainly happens when he's in the tub and is usually accompanied by vigorous hand movements through the water and in the air, ended by a long giggle. Of course we as parents, again, think this is the greatest thing we've ever seen or heard.

Well, not too many days ago Vince started putting some of his word sounds and consonants together and he came up with something a little too close to sounding like the word: bu@lsh%t! And NO, I didn't say it in front of him... sheesh, what do you think I am? He started out practicing bu bu, bu and then sh sh sh... and then before you know it, he added the t at the end... (again, only something that a genius baby could figure out) I tried to get a little clip of it but not sure if you'll be able to hear it (or even think it sounds like what we think it sounds like...)



I've since been working with him to turn that word into book, or bottle, or something a little more useful (it's actually morphing into Buddha)... but it was hard at first because every time he would say it we would start cracking up! That's not a good response if you don't want a kid to do something....

I'm afraid this blip about Vince cussing is the best I can come up with in terms of updating the blog about Vince and goings on. We did get an offer accepted on another house (it has a pool!). We're still in the process of inspecting it, found some mold that needs to be taken care of. I'm definitely not has excited about this place as I was about the other one. I don't like the layout that much, and it certainly needs A LOT of cosmetic help. But we'll see.
