Hi Georgia,
You are just about to start forming some sentences. I’m kicking myself for not writing down when you started forming words but it’s been a little while now. Your first word, probably around Christmas time was “book”, pronounced “buh”, often in rapid succession “buh, buh, buh”. You love books. Following close behind was Mama and Daddy. You may have started calling our cat earlier then that, calling out kitty as “tee tee”. You really like making animal sounds. Your first animal sound was a dog, “woof-woof”. I was reading you a book and barking like that when you copied me a couple times. It took a while until you started saying woof-woof on your own. Your first animals sounds on your own were cow and sheep. Instead of moo for cow, you’d say “booooooo” and tend to go on for a few seconds. And then you started calling our cat Tigger with a meow as “meeeye”. Just last night you stopped saying “meeeye” and just said meow. I love how you do a horse sound, Mom and I say “neigh” and kind of draw it out. You try so hard to copy us, get all excited and go “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee” at the top of your lungs. Now that it’s spring, you love going outside. You’ll stand by the door and politely ask, “siesie?”.
You do say more things now, those were some of the first. We’re about to get to the point where your vocabulary will be too big to keep track of. Mom and I hear what sound like sentences, you talk to Tigger, some toys and things outside. You have some pretty complete conversations but we don’t quite understand you yet. I’d love to know what you’re talking about.
And I love it that all your conversations are so fun for you.
Love,
Dad
