Away with Words

Amelia is saying words, but I really had no idea how many, so I decided to keep a list of words she says and count them. I am going to keep the list out and available so that I can add words as I hear them. I came up with 38! She is adding new words all the time and she is much better at listening to words I tell her and repeating them. She totally gets the concept that a word represents something and that if she tells me something, I understand what she wants. I make her tell me "on" when she want the TV on for example. I am no longer giving in to grunts and crying. Here are the words on my list:
  • Mama
  • Dada
  • Amelia
  • dog
  • up
  • down
  • bye bye
  • cookie
  • whale
  • book
  • door
  • water
  • uh oh
  • all done
  • baby
  • stop
  • go
  • yuck
  • no
  • yay
  • duck
  • me
  • ball
  • bubble
  • pop
  • achoo
  • eat
  • on
  • yum
  • car
  • night night
  • nap
  • home
  • ow
  • coffee
  • cup
  • bowl

I knew it was just a matter of time. It is beginning to click for her and all that jabbering and words you recognize will soon become sentences. Christina did the same thing, jabbered in a sing-songy fashion, (we called it fluent Chinese)until one day she burst out with sentences we could actually understand. I think she thought she was saying real words all along......but we just didn't understand. Amelia is going to be the same way......So look out Todd, better prepare yourself for a second female in your house to wag their tongue at you!

Way to go, Amelia...
