The Eberhard Family

* 22 months *

Thanks to mummy starting and daddy’s follow up, we can recognise lots of alphabets, only Capital letter though.

This mainly started because we have some alphabet magnets.

A: Apple

B: Book

C: Meow (Cat)

D: Duck, Da da

E: Emma

F: Flower (although sometimes she’s not sure)

G: Goat

H: Hot, Heart

I: We can’t say the word, but we see I and goes “mum mum”, as I is for Ice cream

J: Juice

K: ?

L: Lion ? (she’s still unsure about this one, sometimes we know, sometimes we don’t)

M: Mummy

N: Nose

O: Owl (our favourite, because it’s from Little Bear, we ask for it by saying “Owl Bear, yeah?”)

P: Pea (and we sometimes eat the P as well)

Q: ?

R: Rabbit ??(but she’s not sure, as she doesn’t really know the word Rabbit, Red works but the colour on the alphabet is yellow, gets a little confusing)

S: Star

T: Toes

U: Up

V: Van

W: Wet, all wet

X: ?

Y: Yellow

Z: Zebra?? (but we are not sure)

We’ve been talking more and more and it’s quite funny to listen to her making up new sentences.

Emma likes to hold her little face cloth as security blanket, it is either yellow or pink. Usually we prefer pink ones but if pink ones are not available, we will take yellow ones.

Last night I stole her yellow night night and held it in my mouse. We sometimes fight over it this way and she loves it. So she was tryhing to pull it off my mouth and said: “mummy no bite Emma yellow night night”. That’s the first 6 word sentence ( count “night night” as 1 word), pretty much a full sentence, with a few grammatical errors but very good for her age. At least I didn’t expect this.

I know a few days ago, she also said something that was about 5 words long, but I can’t remember. So we are definitely progressing.

We are understand the concepts of, and can say these words: big and small; up and down; dark and light. We know some colours: blue, yellow, green, pink, purple, black (in Chinese). We count to 3 in English and we say 1,2 and 5 in Chinese. We also know there are 2 something and she will say things like: 2 fish when she sees 2 of them.

I’m sure there’d be more and more fun discovery as she learns to talk more.
