Word(s) of the Day
Around 18 months of age there is a 'word explosion' where children learn 9 new words a day. We'd like to try to keep track of Isis' progress.
11-30-07
Charlie - the name of grandma's dog, saw a picture of a Basset Hound in a book
11-29-07
Done
Bath
High - who knows if it's just the same as 'hi'
11-28-07
Isis is 19 months old today.
Orange - she called the tangerines 'apple'. I told her 'orange' and she repeated it
Bye-bye - said it in the car
Spice - I told her the food was too spicey
11-27-07
More - not very clear, she likes her food
Yogurt - says it as 'ag-gaak'

More words
These words aren't in any order, just a starting point for this blog about her word explosion phase.
Happy - started a few days ago.
Baby - she recognizes pictures of other babies and herself
Bunny - her favorite toy is a stuffed bunny, and we have 2 pet bunnies that live indoors. She doesn't say this very clearly
Mao - not the leader, the noise the cat makes. She repeats the cat's meows, she learned it from her parents
No - surprising that she learned this late, and I'm happy that she doesn't use it very often. If she's starting a tantrum then she says it a few times and walks backwards out of the room.
Puppy - Jason's parents have a Basset Hound
Apple - can be the word for any fruit
Isis - pretty cute, she draws out the first syllable
Hi - she doesn't always say this to strangers
Hot - she came up with her own sign language for this: holds her fingers up to her mouth and blows on them while shaking her hand side to side
Um - this summer she played on the phone and said "Um, this?" over and over
Ball - I have a cute youtube video of her playing with a bouncy ball
Uh-oh - something falls down, it's 'uh-oh'

Isis's First words
1. Bob. Her first word was Bob. I was too tired to realize that she actually said a word. She was about 7 months old.
2. Dada. She usually pats her chest because that's what Jason did when he taught her the word, he patted his chest to teach her that his name is Dada. I don't think she understands it though. She says a version of dada that means 'thank you'.
3. This? Maybe her second word, but definitely her most used word. She points to something she wants or wants to know more about and says "This?". She combines signs with This? to ask for what she wants.
4. Momma. Only in dire need of momma.
Her first signs were toilet/potty, bed and sleep, eat/food. And lots of pointing.
