I’m a proud little mama because in the last week Matea has started saying all kinds of new words. Before that she had a vocabulary of maybe 8-10 words. We are part of the Connections program from the Child and Family Resource Council in our county, and they send out evaluations to be filled out every couple months to help track your child’s progress physically, mentally, verbally, etc. Well, at 15 months Matea was far below average verbally, but she at 18 months she just met their standards for verbal communication (she had 5 other words besides mama and dada). I wasn’t worried and knew that she would begin talking more someday. But it is definitely a different experience than Eli, who was so far ahead in verbal communication!
Well, in the last week Matea has added more than 30 words to her vocabulary!!!! It started out with “turtle” (which is the cutest thing you will ever hear in your life and I have no idea how she learned). And here’s the list of the others that I can remember:
- diaper, on, off, football, up, all done, hot, dip, cup, nook, book (it does sound different than nook too), bowl, sticker, hamper, trash, apple, duck, e-a-go(for Diego), Dora, wash, water, zipper, go, bowl, pretzel, snow, jaguar (very cute this one), hippo, sock.
And I can’t forget the two words that cousin Noah taught her – taco and mammal. She has no idea what they mean but she loves to repeat them and make Noah laugh. It’s adorable. Our little girl is quickly becoming a chatterbox!
