Chatty Boy

Jacob has had a verbal explosion over the last couple weeks. He's now frequently combining words ("Hi, Stella!", "More snack!", "Go taxi!") and picking up new words at an astounding rate. I've counted four new words today, and it's only naptime (block, cow, broccoli, box). I'm working on a full word-list to put up soon.

He's also started "counting", especially pictures with lots of cars. He gets the idea of pointing to objects and counting them out, but the only number he says is "Two". As you can see in the video clip below, he just counts, "two, two, two, two, two..." It's a start.

Also in this clip, I think he says yellow...not sure, though. What do you think? We have been talking about colors a lot, but he has yet to show any meaningful and consistent understanding. I'm sure it's just around the corner.
