More than we think

It's hard to know just how much an older baby (11 months in my case) understands when we talk to him. How many words and phrases does his know?

I only know for certain that Noah understands these words: bottle, eat, bite, nap, time for bed, Noah, Erin, and Daddy's home. I know there is a lot more, but those are the only ones I know for certain.

But I learned a little more this morning.

It has become routine for us to have Disney's Oceans on in the background most mornings. About 10 minutes ago, I was checking my email and Noah walks up and hands me the remote (he has a fascination with remotes). I say to him, "do you want to watch Oceans?"

He grunts and looks at the TV (which was turned off). Now, I don't know if he understood "watch" or "Oceans" or both, but something was understood.

Just cool to see evidence of him understanding words beyond just his own name.
