Just so I have it in writing somewhere where it won't get lost, here is a list of all the words Justin is saying these days some of the things he is doing at 16.5 months....

Justin says: doggy, duck, kitty-cat, cow, spider, birdie, mouse, bug, bear, fish, pig, hello "lllo," hi, bye-bye, nigh-nigh, no, please "peas, " broom, sweep, book, bat, binkie "bit," strawberry, cheese, beans, banana "baba," water "wahdee," drink, snack, open "pen," bottle "baba," ball, basketball, computer "oopter," bag, vacuum "back," pen, belt, pool, swing, slide, star, hot, wow, woah, boom, pop, bonk, stuck, boat, truck, bike, shoes, brush, bath, shower, ucky, what's that?, this, did it, read it, got it, are you?, up, down, done, eyes, nose, bellly button "beh-bah," ears, head, baby, amen "men," Mommy, Daddy, Maime, Papa, BeeBee for Grandma BB, and probably a few more that I'm forgetting.
