vaughn to english dictionary

when we went to the doctor for vaughn's 18 month check-up, the doctor asked how many words he could say. i foolishly answered 10-15. when we really got to thinking about it, he can say a lot more (31 at the time of the appointment). this is the complete list as of today. so if you're going to spend some time with vaughn, this translation should help.

vaughn's also been getting lots of teeth. the bottom left molar erupted on the 17th, with that canine and the bottom right molar coming in on the 25th . andyesterday, i saw the little points of his top canines poking through. looks like we'll have to get some more ibuprofen.
vaughn also loves to take the ornaments off the christmas tree and moving them all over the house.
