trying words

I wish I were better able to catch Hank's language on camera. These video snippets are from over the course of about a month, but they don't capture everything.
Not recorded are things like the way he talks about vitamins every morning, and pumpkins all day long, the way he calls everyone in the house by name, all six of us, and says some cousin names even better than his brothers'.  The way he says please now, as he signs, and talks about giraffes and zebras and dogs and babies and bacon. And most recently, the way he tells us to sit and shhh.
He is trying words and cobbling together phrases, something different every day, naming a world that looks just as new to me as it must to him.


Translation:
mine
popsicle
mama
down
lollipop
bye bye
backpack
pepper
pear
pop (toaster)
dada
thank you
watermelon
knock knock
e-i-e-i-o
moo
nine
up
down
watch
bye
