Birds and Words!

Miss T (17 months) has been starting to say more during the last two weeks. During the week of January 24th, I saw the very subtle start of the vocabulary boom happening. (It was the VERY VERY early start, but it was the beginning.) The reason I noticed the start of this was that she hadn't said any NEW words for a long time and suddenly she was trying to say new words. She was imitating sounds more too.

Recently (1/24-ish) she's said, zipper (zip), Mary Popppin's name (Ge-chine is how she said it DM--it was so cute!), and a couple of other new words (cheese and bird).

Now (2/5) she's saying all of these (plus all the other ones she's said in the past.)

cheese
clock
bird
(knows how to call our kitty--so cute!)
Wow
ooooh
please
Weeee!
okay (I love the ways she says this!)
Yuck
Trash
Meow
She says "pish" whenever she sees the kitty and is trying to pet him so I think that might be "pet," but I'm not 100% sure. It's some word. Heh.

Up
Down (These two documented here.)

and of course, the documentation of her first word.


(I'm calling this entry Birds and Words because Miss T got very excited one Saturday (1/27) when she saw birds flying in the sky and said "bird" totally clearly and very impressively.)
