First 50 Words, Part 2

Matthew, this news is a few weeks old now, but you are officially Talking.  Capital T.  I managed to keep a list of your first 50 words, which was quite a feat considering you absolutely refuse to speak on command.  Even more impressively, I didn't lose the list.

Regular blog readers may remember Part 1 of this series (Jason) here.  I thought you boys would have more overlaps, but even the 14 common words (starred below) differ in delivery.  Kind of cool that we get to know your "ouch" pronunciations so well.  Jason did this dramatic, two syllable "ow-cha" while Matthew has a soft litte, "ach."  Both so sweet!
