I have been meaning to keep a running list of words you have said at one point or know. Your father can let me know if I am missing anything.
List of words you have said at one point or another to date at 14 months:
DaDa, Mama, Abby (your nickname for babysitter), Duck, Cat (you say a high pitched MOW MOW) , Pig, Cracker (Cakur), More (Muh), Shoes (Sues), Sock, Fish, Agua, Nana, Coffee (Mama’s hot coffee – you shake your finger ‘no’ don’t touch), EIEIO, No, Yes, Up, Feet, Tickle (Tika Tika), Mum Mum (food)
List of words or commands you know the meaning of (such as where is the flower? and you point and make a sniff motion with your nose):
Flower, Dog (you say FFF FFF for woof woof), Frog, Crib, Cup, Teddy, Kitty, Blankie, Pacifier, Video (at the mere mention of word video you launch into singing EIEIO), Hot (you shake your finger no), Computer, Pretty (you say wow), Hairbrush (you pretend to brush your hair with your hand), Kisses, Hug, Off, Open, Close, Walk, Belly button, So Big (you raise hands), Butterfly (you exhale a ‘wow’ and point to sky), Lion (you roar), Spider (you make crawlking motion with fingers on neck), Nose (you point to your nose or someone elses), Eye (you jab yourself in eyeball)
I love you. Good work!
Isn’t it amazing all the words already? And the comprehension? So much fun!
Ollie does the same thing with “eye”: pokes himself totally hard and then sits there blinking. We’re working on “gentle” and “careful” now.
And is it any wonder oldest children seem to grow up to be over-achievers?!! I, myself being one. And to think, poor Finn who is 2.5 and a 3rd child is already being out-talked by his 1.5 year old first born cousin! Ahh, poor first borns, they never had a chance to be dim.
Hooray for getting dirty!!!!!
