Auggie is now 9 months old (today actually I think ) And he can say a lot now. Sorry I haven't been around as much live is so busy . So Auggie can say: Hello Good Bird Be a good bird I love you Air Rat It's ok Ok Bye Gimme Kiss Scratchies Scratchie or what? Oh boy Are you being a good boy? Ooohhh He can also make the fire detector sound (annoying as heck) Ring the phone, make the sound of it when you press the button to answer it says "Hello...ok bye" makes the sound of you pressing the button to end the call, and the sound of it going back into the dock. The sound of the Microwave finishing up (he always thinks its for him) He of course makes various other noises too but I can't remember them all right now. edit: as I remember more I'm adding to the list

WOw! that's one talkative bird. Where did air rat come from? I think we should each have a list of all the things our birds say. Wouldn't that be interesting to hear all the various phrases? Maybe put the age of the bird and whether it's a CAG or TAG? That always interests me, too see if there is any talking ability based on age and TAG vs.CAG.

It comes from my dad's attempt at teaching Auggie to say "I'm a freaking air rat"

WOW! Kito is quite a talker! Not bad Kito!!! Brody says a lot. I wish I had a list compiled of what she says and does. I think I'll have to do that and keep it updated. Maybe I'll start a blog for history purposes. I'll try to get a list put together tonight, as it will take too long to do at work!

wow!!! ;D tHAT IS AMAZING!! Did you teach him all that or did he just pick it up! Life must be a blast in your house. I hope Talon says alot like that. He is a TAG, 16 1/2 months old. He says...
Hello Hi Talon( in 6 different voices, we havwe 6 family members) Good Bird Good bird TAlon Thirsty bird, thirsty bird goodbye whoa he laughs at us hugh (my husbands name) matthew (my sons name) crazy lady can whistle the mexican hat dance copies all the phones, microwaves, oven,and smoke detectors, barks like the dog makes kissing sounds sneeze souns coughs (over and over again............) peeps lots of different whistles can scream like my youngest son 1,2,3,4 peekaboo (his favorite) bak,bak,bak (like a chicken) meow uuuup! (when we go upstairs) yay! happy bird happy birthday merry xmas, ho ho ho hey talon step up sweet bird love you love you talon where's the birdie? it's a nice bird right now! ( I wonder where he gets that from....Seeing as I am the mother of 4...) He will mimic yelling if there is any argument in the house, which in turn makes the argueing stop and laughing start! He sings a song that I sing to him.. It's a birdie, (3x) on a perch, then it repeats 2x. to the tune of old mcdonald.
he puts alot of these together to make sentences I'll add to this as I think of more, this is off the top of my head!

I think I forgot one -- "look at you, you have a pretty tummy". He just says everything I say to him. Every time a phone rings on t.v., he says "hello". He laughs when lots of people laugh together on t.v. He does my laugh. He does the "beep" five times like a truck backing up. It's like there is no stopping him. The things he learns quickest, of course, being a Grey, are all the things associated with doing stuff for him....his food, his shower, etc. It's a good thing I never swear in front of him -- I know he'd get it in a New York second. I think he's incredible. I've always jotted down his new stuff when he says it, then I bring my note to work and add it to his list. I'm so glad I did, because lots of stuff he doesn't say for a long time as he moves from one group of favorites to another. Then he'll drag up something he hasn't been saying for many months. He's incredible. He's also made up his own song -- Law & Order -- doh doh doh doh doh doh bogita (percussion in background) and rorrwwww rorrwwww. That's my Kito Buddy Bird Boy (as he calls himself right now). It's a Grey't world.

WOW! ! I can't wait untill Auggie gets older and says more! He mumbles sentences to himself he just hasn't gotten to the stage of enunciating yet, like they do when they first start talking.

But Talon is so much younger. I use "find and replace" on my computer to count the actual DIFFERENT words he has. It's around 250 or more now. Last count I had over 6 months ago was 178. Give Talon another year, and you won't get to hear any t.v. shows like me.
