I've been looking forward to the time when Lucas can talk. Imagine how much easier it would be to just simply ask him what he wants or what's wrong instead of having to figure it out yourself?
Well, he's on his way to talking and he's learning fast. He now has a few words. He says them consistently and he knows when to say them so I'd like to think that he knows exactly what they mean.
His words are a good mix of English and Cebuano, which is expected since we speak Cebuano at home. I'm not worried about English at all because I know he'll eventually learn it one way or another.
At 15 months, Lucas can now say the following words well (although some he has yet to properly pronounce):
Daddy
Papa
Mommy
Mama
Bad Dede (means "bad baby")
Pig
Dog
Bird
Guba (break - he says this when he breaks his toys)
Kuha (get)
Kakat ("katkat" or climb)
Uli (return)
Throw
Kiss
Cheers
Amen (he says this in church, following everybody else saying "amen")
Happy (the newest word he learned to speak and he loves saying it)
The last time we went to his pediatrician, she was amazed at how much Lucas can now say. He's a small baby--smaller than most babies his age, but I think he will grow up a smart one like his dad. I really hope so.
