More new words and concepts

Otter is adding more verbs now. He has: walk, run, squeeze, rock (as in rocking chair), chew, hug, jump, color, comb, brush, and so on. He's also adding more nouns: stroller, brella (for umbrella), rain, juice, zee (for zebra), za (for pizza), sauuuh (for applesauce) and more numbers: one, two, three, five, six, seven, nine, and ten--four and eight are thusfar missing at home. He has no real idea what the numbers mean conceptually, but he gets that they go in an order and is beginning to have a sense of what that order is.

He gets that snow is cold, and so is our bathroom floor. (Previously, he seemed to think "cold" was equivalent to popscicle/ice cream.)

I am sure I'm forgetting some; he learns so fast it's hard to keep up with him.
