Words and Counting....

The LMM started stringing words together a couple of months ago.. maybe at about 16-18 months.
He particularly like words like Big, Small (yes, he can differentiate sizes), Cut, Make, Cook, Knock, Mama, Papa, Ye Ye, Nai Nai, Milk, Duck, Fish (he also says Yu...). So he form sentences like:

"Cut Fish Cook Nai Nai"
"Cut Duck Cook Nai Nai"
....erm he actually means Nai Nai cuts and cooks the items.

LMM : "Big Yu"
Mami: "No, Travis, say Big Fish ... Da Yu..."
LMM: "Small Yu"
Mami : "sigh..."

Pointing at my pillow, he says,"Big Orgh Orgh..." and pointing at his pillow, he says, "Small Orgh Orgh"

And on his method of counting, hm..i really don't know. He skipped pure numbers and jumped right into algebra: "One, Too, Four, Oh, Bee, Five, Aee..."

Then, when asked "who did this????" (something bad like mess up the table, drawing on the sofa, spitting saliva on the floor)
The LMM never fails to reply,"Ye Ye"
