Wow! That's a lot... I thought he knew about the average of 20... but it looks like there's a lot more than that! Who would've thunk it? Frankie & I don't talk much. :)

In addition to just saying the words, TJ is putting them together. Mom shoes. TJ toes. Dad car. More please. No bath. Book please, etc.

The funniest thing about his language is how he doesn't like to say the easy words (cow, cat) as much as he does the difficult words (lawnmower, basketball, buffalo.) He's such a silly boy!

Mommy's favorites: lawnmower, basketball, news, Melmo (it is so sweet how he says it) and of course, Mom!
Daddy's favorites: Saints, Dad, Mom, choo choo and no (it's pretty cute!)
Ga & Pa's favorites: buffalo and doh doh
