Jack Talk

Some people pride themselves on decoding long-lost languages or even made-up languages (we Trekkie fans...yes, I had a Klingon dictionary in the early 90s); however, no words can describe the pride that comes with interpreting the pronunciations, utterances and shouts of a almost-two-year old.

Jamie and I are quite adept at understanding Jack's language, only half the time having to shake our head in ignorance. To help the non-Jack mommies and daddies, here is a list of his spoken vocab (he understands more words than he says). We didn't count his numbers and letters that he has learned.
