Developments

Q's latest words (expressive) that I can remember:
Bubbles (although he's regressed to only saying BO! this week)
Juice (overgeneralized to any drink)
JayJay! because he loves the video!
Shoes (includes socks)
Nose (pronounced Noshe usually) This is by FAR his favorite word. If he's ever at a point that he wants to communicate but you aren't getting his message...he busts out "Nose!" I think it's because he knows we know that word. Because of this he's overgeneralized the use and meaning of the word beyond a facial part! Silly boy.
Open (pronounced 'Ahbe' at this point, working on it)
Choochoo (obviously this means trains)
Eyes (which he seems to think is glasses instead of the actual eye, guess that's what comes of having a mommy and daddy with glasses)
Tooth
Ouch (y), Ow it seems to be his word for upset because he says it any time he doesn't like what's going on. Crying wolf, much.
toes

bottle
more (pronounced mo)
two he says this when daddy is doing a 1, 2, 3 and then tosses him. He says "Two! Two! Two!" to get the game to continue.
keys he has recently become fascinated with keys, wants to hold them and point at every keyhole he sees. On his strolls with Daddy during stake conference this weekend he pointed out every keyhole in ever door they passed! A while back I made him his very own keychain so that he could play with that instead of mine; it's been a lifesaver this past week since I need to drive the car with them...and preferably without a screaming toddler in the backseat.
brush

kitty (pronounced ki-y) he's got the T down on boat but not kitty.
sshhh everytime we see anyone or anything sleeping
boat (this includes the ocean outside our window)
out
star (pronounced 'tar)
Mamma and Dadda! Yeah! I've been waiting so long for him to call us by our names! I love it! Everytime he sees us he says it. The other day he pointed at himself to say baby, then me to say mamma. :)
Daddy has also taught him all kinds of cool car and crash sounds, so he's got those down pat already.

Receptive: It is so exciting to know he understands me when I'm talking to him. I had to call him back from crossing the street to the neighbors yesterday and tell him he couldn't go over there without Momma. He totally turned around and played in our yard for the next 15 minutes! I was so excited! NO physical intervention!

Nursery
food
outside
prayer (about our last 6 FHE's have been focused on what prayer is and how we look and act during it so that our little guy can be a little more reverent. It lasts about 3 seconds at a time right now, but it's growing on him.)
airplane (he does the sign every time thanks to aunt Becky)
ears
chin

Q actually cut his first molar in August and he's cutting all four eye teeth as we speak. There was a six month break of no teeth and then all of a sudden here they all come. We're still undecided about whether it's causing his digestive problems or not. He's also getting ready to pop out a few more molars. Quite the crabby boy sometimes.
