Communication

Mason has been getting so much better at communicating- obviously alot of it is still jibberish, but he's trying! He's recently stopped saying Mama, but boy he's sure got Dada down, and he's started the squealing! Other than that he says "Daw" for Dog (every morning he says 'Hi Daw!'), "Hi", "Bye" and waves, "Dada", 'aigh' for light (he points at all lights that are on!), "Dat" and points to whatever he wants, and "Aaaaaaaaaat!" for cat (and he does it to sound like a cat too!) and nuuum for food. And of course he shakes his head no at everything. If he gets in trouble (say for playing with the tv buttons) and I take him away and say No No, he'll whine and shake his head no at me! Glad he cant tell me No yet! He does say Naa Naa alot lately, not sure if its just mumbling or what or if he knows its for Nana (Granma M). If you ask Mason "Where is Dada?" He either points to Gavin's office door or to the back door (garage). LOL If he hears the garage door open or close he yells "DADA!" and waves. Its definitely fun to see him figuring things out!
This morning he was sitting in the entry way in his push car and I opened up the front door for the dogs to enjoy their live tv (glass storm door) usually he points and says "uh uh uh" at things, but today when i opened the door he patted his car, pointed outside, said "Ouu" and looked at me- I actually understood that he wanted to go for a ride outside. Sadly, i had to disappoint him, it was too early for Mom!
