So Meer is really beginning to talk – it’s just a matter of us adults understanding which words he is saying! The first word he said was LIGHT – his favorite thing at the time. And then he said THIS, and then THAT. His recognizable vocabulary includes:
Light
This
That
Mama
Dada
Danger
Flower
Dog
Tortoise
Yes
Light
This
That
Mama
Dada
Danger
Flower
Dog
Tortoise
Yes
Sawa (Swahili for ok)
Good
Nice
Two
Out
Shoes
I am just THRILLED to hear him say YES before learning the word NO! For some reason it is all important to me to minimize the amount of times he hears "no". Apparently it is shocking how often we hear it as children. NOT that I don't direct his behavior, but luckily with Meer, he is sensitive enough to be guided with facial expressions and little grunts! Well - that is me for you - all weird!! Anyway - he is really beginning to speak up a storm - it is SO enjoyable to hear! ;-D
