- "Off": Works for pick me up, put me down, get me outta this highchair, take these gloves off!
- "Ma-ma": Works for both Mommy and Daddy
- "Num-num" plus pointing: Works for all food and drink items or even non-food items Jack thinks might be palatable (at least he doesn't point with the bird anymore!)
- "Dis?": Jack's most helpful word, used with everything including which books to read
- "Whadisdat?" or "Whasdis?": Used for just what it sounds like, What is that and what's this?
- "Heeeee-Yah!": Jack's angry word, usually accompanied by a slap
- "Yah": the affirmative to any question posed to Jack, including "Do you know the square root of 54?" , "Is your Mama beautiful?" or any question we want to ask to make us feel good about ourselves
- "Buusshh": toothbrush
- "Hat": hat
- "Ice" with upturned palm: give me the ice from your glass
- "Baby": the picture of Baby Jack on the wall
- "Mmmmmmmm": How we know Jack enjoys his food
Jack also understands "Do you want to go outside?" and answers by grabbing his shoes from the rack or hanging on the doorknob. Bathtime is answered by running to the bathroom door (which is shut very tightly, by the way), bedtime/naptime by running to his bedroom closet where his fan is kept to provide white noise during this sacred respite.
Most of this entry was written by Heather, but you know I have to get my two cents in. Heather has (very proudly) taught Jack to respond with a loud, full-tongue "Blaaaaaaaah!" when you say the words, "Taco Bell," "Miracle Whip,"or "canned peas," to him. Incidently, these are all things that Heather really dislikes. Imagine that........
Animal noises include those of Bunny (a sniffing sound), Cat ("mao"), Dog ("rowf"), Fish (puckered lips), Tiger ("rrrrr"), Cow ("mooooo"), Bear ("haaarrrr"), Elephant ("ppppppppppt") and Horse ("bbbbbbbbbfff").
