19 months

Zane and Zander turned 19 months old today. They are talking a lot these days. They have mastered all the basic words like mama, dada, dog, cat, ball, go, etc... But its all the other words that they don't say quite right that I want to remember.

Here is what I've jotted down over the past 2 days:

**"yie-yie" or "E-yie" (Eli)
**"Mimmy" (Emmy) which is what they call Emma Kate
**"Yane" (Zane)
**"Yanner" (Zander)
**"quack quack" (duck)
**"yoyert" (yogurt)
**"ra-rat" (rabbit)
**"kuck" (truck)
**"kah" (car)
**"ane" or "choo choo" (train)
**"tup" (cup)
**"booh" (book)
**"kha-ow" (cow)
**"dohs" (clothes)
**"melmo" (Elmo) which happens to be Zander's favorite!
**"peeg" (pig)
**"moon" (spoon)
**"mooh" (moon)
**"mah-oon" (balloon)
**"Mah-ee" (Mollie, our dog)
**"nink" (drink)
**"ca-kuh" (cracker)
**"at" (hat)
**"yok" (sock)
**"oosh" (shoes)
**"tee" (tree)
**"yite" (lights)
**"buh-ball" (football, basketball and baseball)
**"aise" pronounced like the end of mayonnaise (eggs)
**"ice" (outside)
**"nana" (banana)
**"bapple" (apple)
**"own" (phone)
**"doos" (juice)
**"ve-vee" (fix it) which is what they say when the straw cover comes off their cups
**"nigh-nine" (Einstein) which is what they call all the Baby Einstein DVD's
**"row-row" and "yie-yie" (cereal) This is the only word that they say completely different. Zander is the row-row and Zane the yie-yie
**"abby" (happy) This is Zander's word only. I think he is saying happy (from when we sing "If You're Happy and You Know It")

They have just started putting 2 simple words together. For example: today Zane said "Mimmy oosh" which meant he saw Emma Kate's shoes in the floor. Also today Zander said "ball Yane" which meant he was giving the ball to Zane.

They have also started picking up some speed when they walk. We tell them they are running and they laugh and think its so funny! I'm sure after watching this video, the track recruiters will be calling us!
