Zara's first 3 syllable word
Zara spoke her first 3 syllable word 2 weekends ago when I was reading her bath time counting book to her which has a page filled with butterflies.
She immitated when I said butterfly. Her version sounds something like "putter-pie". Now, she kept mumbling the word putter-pie, as though to practice her talking skill.
She's picked up quite a few words the past 2 weeks, like :
Kai Kai (go out) - tai tai
Walk Walk - woh woh
Park (Play ground)- Pak
Bath - But
Duck - Tuck Tuck
Mr Blue (her softtoy) - Boo
Car - Uhhhhh Uhhhh (with 1 arm raised and moving horizontally depicting a moving car)
Aeroplan - Uhhhhh Uhhhh (same as car, but she'll be poining her finger upwards)
Daddy - Pa Pa
Zara - Sa-ah
Apple - Ah-Per
Full (饱饱) - Ba-Ba
However, she's still not calling me mummy, mama or anything yet. And sometimes still confuse me with herself. When I asked, "where's Zara's nose?", she'll point to mine; but when it's "Where is che-che's (Samantha's) nose?", she'll point to Sam's.
Maybe she thinks both of us are one entity, that's why when I'm around, she still clings to me like a koala.

zara - Gordon also learning to talk now. He'll only call me Mm-Ma when he's desperate. But, he's learning something new everyday, it's amazing. I love watching him talk.
mei - hah, i've never tried that before, should try it out on Gordon one day.
It definitely takes a mother to know what her baby is saying... lol
Is Zara usually talkative??
aww congrats to zara on another achievement!
Soon you are not able to catch up with the words she are learning everyday.
So many comments, getting popular ler you.
Well done, Zara! :)
Hmm..i guess all babies call their mummies last..maybe they really think we're them and they're us...haha..;p
Wow, Clap clap, zara clever girl!
It's ok one, teach her more "mum mum- makan", she will call mama soon. :P
BB can called everybody including kakak at 14 months but not me. Now, he calls Mommi every day loudly.
mei,
let me try that out. I heard about this, but haven't tested it on her yet.
samm,
it's really amazing right? And you just don't know how they are motivated. Some difficult words they can say it, but easy word like Mama, they won't even attempt till later.
helen,
you are right. Sometimes hubby missed it as well, don't know what she's trying to say until I pointed it out.
She's very talkative, but most of the time, it's just making 'noise'.
dinah,
thanks.
jason,
And soon, she'll start to 'pok chui'.
blurblur,
I'm anxiously waiting for her to call me.
allfeel,
I tried. Different tricks, but when she hear the word mama, mummy, she'll not want to repeat after me.
u will be jumping all over when she first calls u! :))
I am too happy to react when ethyl calls me...and she shouts "Mommy" when she sees me...ur turn will come! :)
fannie,
I'm still waiting..
