Word Explosion!

Two Sundays ago Eddie and I counted how many words Andrew says. We thought probably around 70. He spoke in sentences, mostly gibberish with one or two words thrown in. He really was trying so hard, but in a room with Maggie, Paige, and Anna (who are all younger than him)...

Last week when Amber told Maggie that she was coming over to our house to play with Andrew, Maggie replied, "Andrew, he not talk much to me."
Amber told her, "well, he doesn't talk much at all."
Maggie replied, "uh uh, he can say duck"

But over the last week his verbal skills have exploded. He's now using too many words for me to count and keep track of. He rarely reverts to using gibberish (although he's still hard to understand most of the time), he's using more than 3 words in a sentence, he talked nonstop during Sacrament meeting, and if he says something that really sounds like the "f"word, he's not swearing at you, he's either saying flag or foot, we can't figure out which.

Yay Andrew!!! Warner has done the same thing lately too, I'm so glad he's talking more. My mom told him she would take him to the beach when we come out next week so for the last few days he's been walking around saying "beach" but it sounds like the b word. So they both seem to have a bit of a swearing problem!
