Jack's Jabberings

Over the last month or so, Jack's language development has exploded! He's had a huge vocabulary of words and has enjoyed repeating us, but now he is stringing words together and talking in phrases more than just saying one word.  Sometimes, when he gets really excited, he says a bunch of gibberish (a really long sentence) and we usually can understand a few of the words in his sentence.  Every day he surprises me with some new phrase he has picked up...which means we have to be extra careful with what we say.  Not only does he mimic our phrases that he's heard all of his little life, he also makes his own sentences.  His first one that I can recall, was when he saw a white SUV at Allie's school and he said, "Mimi car." My mom drives a white Pilot. Then one day, when my parents drove up, he said, "Woo Who. Mimi, Papa here!" Something else that I've noticed is how he understands using expressions and they make sense. I honestly don't remember is Allie did this at this age or not. She was very verbal, way more than Jack was by now, but sadly, I just don't remember.  I think Jack says a lot of the things he does because of Allie. He wants to be like her and just loves her so much.  
Here are a few things he likes to say:
Good job and pats my back while he says it
Awesome
Way to go
U ok?
Yes! -when he knows he did something well on the iPad
Where Allie? and holds up his hands
Mmm, delicious
What's that?
I do it
Get it
Hold you


I know there are a lot more, but I just can't remember them all:) I love it when he repeats Allie or something he heard on tv and Allie reacts the way we usually do..."did he just say" or "I think he just said." 
I really love this stage he is in. He constantly keeps us laughing and always knows how to lighten our mood.  It's hard to believe he is about to be two!
