baby thoughts & baby babble
This past weekend, we (GongGong, PoPo, Uncle Wade, Mommy & Daddy) went to eat with YiMa for her birthday. (We won’t tell how old YiMa is this year.) After dinner, Uncle Wade put me on his shoulder and I had the most unusual experience…touching Uncle Wade’s buzz haircut. I had never felt anything so spikey!

For documentation purposes, Mommy think that I ought to write the words I know how to say. Mommy can see that I am learning at a fast pace now and it seems that everyday, there is something “new” I’ve learned how to to do.
For now, these are the words I can say:
– Mama. When I want something, I say “mama.” It doesn’t mean that I know who Mama is.
– Dada. Sometimes I know who Dada is.
– Baba. (Mandarin version of Dada). Again, sometimes I know who this is.
– GongGong. I’ve only said this a few times, but I think I know who this is.
– Tu To. This means “turtle” and I definitely know what these are!
– Nei Nei. It sounds like “milk” in Mandarin, but I don’t mean milk when I say it. It usually means I am frustrated because you won’t give me what I want.
– NaNa. Mommy & Daddy are still not sure what I want when I say this.
I have also mimicked GongGong, PoPo, Mommy and Daddy when they have said the names of fruit and vegetables to me. While they are not perfect pronunciations, it is obvious that I am trying to copy the sounds and my attempts make everyone giddy!
