Isabelle has started speaking. She can say, “Mama”. She`ll point at somebody or something and say, “Mama” which either means she is confused about her parents or it means something else to her. It means anything from, “Give me!” to “Look at me!”
She`ll say, “Dada” sometimes but not on queue. I told her if she could say, “Dada”, I`d do anything for her. Play with her, take her to look at something interesting or　buy her illegal drugs. Anything.
I`m still waiting.
Congrats!
[...] just read two blog posts about baby talk (Mama on Undercover in Japan and Words and things on The Smell of Little Pong) and have to add my own [...]
Most babies tend to say Dada first, at least in English. Maybe that’s the difference with Japanese babies. You’re teaching Belle to speak Japanese, right? Still waiting for mine to say anything. She only giggles at this stage.
Kei said mama first. We just figured it was easier for her to say than dada… Now she says plenty to me, including “I love you, Daddy,” “Daddy pooted,” “Daddy want to brush your teeth,” “Daddy read it,” “Daddy open it,” etc… Of course they don’t all sound exactly correct, but we get the idea.
Don’t worry, it’ll happen soon enough.
lol. she’s growing up!!
you might not have long to wai for her to make requests of you to run to your dealer. Haha.
Taking a break to enjoy the track and field?
My son’s word is Andy.
Andy is the family dog.
I was (and am) screaming:
“Andy Shut The F*ck Up Or I Will Come Out There And Kill You!”
Needless to say, I hate the dog and am proud that my son also wants the dog to shut up.
