Mike's musings

Jo's language

Made a list of the words that Moo and I can remember Jo having said over the past few weeks. We've not spent long on it, and we've not included words that she's only said once, plurals or possessives of other words (e.g. "daddy's").

again, and, apple, atchoo, baa, baby, Bailey [a friend of hers], ball, balloon, banana, bang, bath, bear, bed, bee, bib, bike, bin, bird, biscuit, blueberry, boing, boo, book, bottom, bowl, boy, bubble, bus, bye-bye, camel, car, cat, chair, cheese, clap, clock, cuddle, daddy, dear, dog, door, down, duck, ear, eye, flower, gate, girl, got, hair, ham, hanger, hat, hello, hot, Jojo, keys, knee, lady, latch, leaf, light, loo, lovely, man, me, milk, mirror, mole, moo, more, mouth, mummy, music, nana, neck, no, note, off, oh [as in "oh dear"], orange, over, pear, plane, plate, play, please, poo, pop, potty, rain, raspberry, roar, round, run, shoes, sleep, socks, spider, splash, spoon, stairs, star, steps, stick, stone, stool, tea, thankyou, the, there, tiger, toast, toe, tree, tummy, Turtle [her cousin], two, up, upstairs, walk, wash, watch, water, wee-wee, whoops, work, wow, wrist, yellow, yes, yoghurt, yum

That's 134 words. She's 16 months and 3 days. I think she's a bit of a star.

We had good time today - Moo had an optician's appointment, we bought some phonics books for Jo, we went and signed the paperwork ordering my new car for next week, and then we went to the Leigh-on-sea folk festival. Not very big, but some good music. Jo had a good time, and had her face painted with some flowers on her cheek.
