Our little Keaton is such a talker - I love it! He can say pretty much anything, repeats ev-ry-thing, and has great pronunciation for his age. It is so fun, but there are a few tricky words...
For example - We can easily tell the difference between "shirt" "sit" "shut" "sheet" etc, but a passer-by might hear him say any of those words & wonder we cuss a lot around our kid. Also, he is getting tired of the shopping cart these days & will loudly proclaim "walk" "walk" as we roam the aisles at the grocery store...no problem, except his "w" sounds a lot like a "v" & somewhat close to an "f" sound. So, you may guess that this can get a bit embarrassing for mommy! (When he decides he needs to walk at church, we pretty much make a quick exit to the hall...)
My favorite so far though - A few weeks ago I needed to plug the little dvd player he was watching into the wall to charge. (I try to not plug things in while he is around, because I don't want him to thing that putting things in the outlets is ok, but I didn't have much of a choice this time. He was distracted by "Babies" & I needed to keep the peace to keep cleaning.) So I told him I was going to plug it in. Of course he repeated what I had said...except his "pl" was a very distinct "f" and his "g" had a strong "k" sound... I had a reallllly hard time not laughing out loud! He got a little better at the "pl" sound throughout the day, but it still makes me chuckle inside, and we won't be saying "plug" or "plug it" in public for a while!
A few of my favorite Keaton words -
"Zelcome" or "Zor Zelcome" (You're Welcome)
"tSore-y" (Sorry)
"kee kee ka kee keekaboo" (peekaboo)
"keekle keekle" (tickle tickle)
"kit kit kitty cat" (kitty cat)
"I did dat" (I did that)
"tshyea" (yea)
"tshyes" (yes)
"shep" (yep)
"lair lit is!" (there it is!)
"la they are!" (there they are!)
"sure!"
