Warning: Gratuitous mommy-gushing ahead! Proceed at your own risk.
My son is coming up on his second birthday (in March) and he’s learning new words every day. I can’t believe how excited I get with every new word I hear! (As an introvert, I’m not usually too excited about people talking, haha 😉 ). But every time that little boy says a new word, it feels like I’m learning a small piece of especially delightful news. These are the words that he knows as of today:
Mommy
Daddy
Auntie
Papa
Nana
Baby
Coopie (dog name)

Kali (a friend)
