My boy, the chatterbox

A picture of Joshie before he went into the swimming pool. Hubby was splashing water at him and he kept on giggling when the water splashed at his face.

His vocabulary has increased by leaps and bounds in the recent weeks. So far, he can say the following words:

mama or mi mi - when calling his mummy, he has actually said "ma-mee" a couple of times but usually it's "mama".

up down - he will lift his arms up and down as he says those words

shesk - shake

qua qua - quack quack, when asked what sound does a duck make. He would also spontaneously say "qua qua" when he sees the picture of a duck.

mao - meow, when asked what sound does a cat make, or when he sees the picture of a cat.

dar - deer

a - when he sees his alphabet chart

go

ah-zoo - when he/somebody sneezes

oh-oh - when he/somebody drops something

dow - when prompted to say "do re mi"

That's all I remember for now. He has been talking a lot but we can't really figure out what he wants to say yet.

He can also point to his head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth and ears when prompted to do so. Will also stick out his tongue when asked "where is your tongue?"

And previously he would only growl when he sees a picture of a tiger/lion. But now he also growls when he sees other wild animals like the bear. I wonder why........maybe he's grouping all the fierce animals together? =P

My little boy seems to be very musically inclined. He loves to sing and would dance along as well. Previously he would only shake his bum-bum, but since he turned 1, he has added more moves. He likes to sway his arms from side to side and move his body sideways as well. It's such a joy to watch him dancing away. How nice to be a kid huh? No worries at all, everyday just eat, sleep & play.
