The pediatrician tells me we can lock Jonah in the closet and he will still pass his 18mo. milestones without learning any new words! (Dr. Dad questioned this recommendation as it might interfere with his growth, but that's an engineer for you, being all literal.) Jonah can say:
Balloon
Ball
Uh-oh
Up please
Up-down (upside down)
Again
No
Yes
All done
More
That
Book
Go
Bus
Boat
Apple
Banana
Cook
Dog
Boo (his word for breastfeeding)
Vroom (cars/trucks)
Ah, ah, ah (monkey)
Grr (lion/tiger)
Elmo
Big Bird
Dada
...but not Mama. :-(
