Emilyʼs Words
by Rebecca on 2010-09-16
This post is more for my benefit, that is, to help me remember precious things about Emily, but feel free to keep reading if youʼre curious. Emilyʼs always been a chatty baby, and itʼs fun to hear her words start to take shape. I think sheʼs delighted that we can understand what sheʼs saying, and I donʼt mind it so much either. Hereʼs some of the words that she says right now.
- Thank you (this was actually the first thing that I ever heard her articulate. Sheʼs so polite.)
- Uh oh! (whenever she drops something or sees something on the floor that shouldnʼt be there.)
- Dah! (for “dog”)
- Mrrrow (for “cat”)
- Ow! (when she bumps her head)
- Bear
- Lo (for “hello”)
- Ball (oh, my goodness, does she ever know this word. I canʼt even take her to the toy section in Target because she starts shrieking “Ball! Ball!” whenever we get close to the cage full of bouncy balls)
- Mmm! (for something tasty)
- Ahh! (after taking a drink of water)
Weʼve also been trying to teach her baby sign language, and sheʼs finally getting the hang of it. She can do the signs for:
- Thank you (again, such a polite little girl)
- Bye-bye
- Bear
- Milk
- Potty
- Diaper
- Cat
- Juice
- Eat
- More
- Splash
- Bath
- Banana
- Cheerios
- Book
- Cheese
- Cookie (sheʼs definitely my child!)
- Cracker
- Finished
- Hot
Canʼt wait to see whatʼs next!
