Samuel at 22 months

Samuel seemed to talk later than Joshua, but any worries that he had a speech delay has vanished as he has undergone his vocabulary explosion these past few months. He doesn't have as many words as Joshua had at this age, but he really uses what he knows:

1) "I got it!"

2) "Hold you!" = hold me

3) "Some" = give me some

4) "All done"

5) "Help"

6) "More"

7) "red", "yellow", "orange" are his favorite colors

8) likes to sing "Happy Birthday", "Twinkle Twinkle", the Korean grace song, and pretends to count to 5

9) his favorite items: truck, train, police, bah-bah (helicopters/fans/airplanes), boat, crane, backhoe, bucket, wa-wa, milk, mandu, pop (rice), mango shake, puffins, broccoli, cheerios, zebra, ball.

10) when he sees a fire, he makes a fire truck siren sound

11) He's a big ham. Annette saw him the other day, alone in the living room, holding a pretend microphone and singing for an invisible audience. He loves to volunteer at sing-a-longs to go up to the front. Not at all like his older brother.

12) He's a big animal lover--dogs, cats, squirrels. He got attacked by a squirrel today unfortunately while trying to feed it.
