Booooooooooo

In Anthony's world every animal makes a growling noise.  (This shouldn't come as a surprise to those who have met him because he LOVES to growl.)  Just this week we have been working on what sound a cow makes.  He's slowly getting it.  When Mark or I say MOO instead of growling he'll say BOO back to us.  Maybe this is what he pictures when he sees a cow?  Maybe it's a scary - BOO - cow?  

At his doctor's visit this week I was told he should be saying 6-20 words and putting two words together at his age.  That hasn't happened yet.  He current says hot, hat, ball, num-num and oh oh - only five words and none of them are put together in a two word phrase. I think the doctor's comments offended him because he didn't want to be labeled in any way.  That night in the bathtub he said ducky repeatedly; before bed he was saying milk; and last night he was saying cookies while reading with Mark.  

I think he'll be a talker in no time, but until that happens I guess we are stuck with the scary cow.  BOOOOOOO!
