Sophie’s words
penny February 29th, 2012
Ajay can I are able to recognise a number of words that our daughter has been uttering lately. Here is a list of them, and some other things she has been consistently showing. A number of them she has been doing as far back as six months old! We just realised now that she has been talking so much (Kicking myself, I should have documented these ages ago!)
As of leap year day, 29 February 2012 (she is now 17 months old)
Can actually say the sound:
Topeee = Sophie
Dada/Papa/Dapa = when pointing to her father
Mama = either pointing to me or my breasts (!)
Lala = her grandma, lola
Mamam = food
Dait = light
Dat = clock
Ka = Car
Aw = owl
Mo = Elmo/more food (this can be confusing, have to take into context!)
Popo = hippo
Hays (whispering) = eyes
Hosh = nose
Chi/Chin = her chin (so clear!)
Sh = Orange
Nana = banana
apt = laptop
ap = up
daaaaan = down
Bo = ball
Chichee = Hello Kitty
Puuuuuu = Winnie the Pooh
awoooo = ouch (while holding her head, no matter which body part she gets her ouch)
Baaaaa = Bye
A-a-a = Hi (like a singsong do-mi-re)
No-o-o = no
Sound effects:
hoo hoo = dog
Mmmmm = cow
(squeaky sound with lips) = mouse
(similar squeaky sound with lips) = fish
Signing/action/dancing:
Milk = 2 hands as if milking udders
Eat = one hand as if susubo ng kanin nagkakamay
Sleep = along with fake snoring
Donkey = one hand flapping above head (hee-haa as the Wiggles do it)
rooster = Cock-a-doodle-doo signing above head as Wiggles do it too
“arms go up” = both arms go up
jump = jumping a few times ending with dropping on her bum
kiss (with so much laway!)
Ba! = peeeeeek-a-boo! or eeeeeeeat bulaga!
pointing to things/body parts when named:
shirt
hair
eyebrows
tummy
hands
fingers
feet
legs
toes
cheeks
ears
mouth = she doesn’t point though, but stretches her mouth wide!
teeth = grinning to bare her front teeth!
tongue = not point either, but sticking it out
She loves books. She will run to her bookshelf every morning and pull some of them off the shelf, digging for what she wants. She will bring these books to you and grunt, asking you to read it aloud with her. At almost any book, when you show signs of starting to open the pages, she will shriek with excitement. The book she most memorised (as her mom has) is the Eyes, Nose, Fingers and Toes. We need to get our own copy of this book, we’ve borrowed it a few times from the library.
She loves Elmo and almost all other Sesame Street muppets, Hello Kitty, and will smile when seeing other characters like Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Tinkerbell, etc.
