Words
Friday, July 15, 2011 at 11:15AM Margot doesn't have a baby book. I meant to do it, but well, I mean to do a lot of things. I can track back to a lot of her firsts based on other events that were going on simultaneously. She started pulling up to stand right before Thanksgiving, got her first tooth a couple of weeks before Christmas, started walking at a family reunion mid-February etc etc.
For whatever reason, though, I feel a strong urge to catalog her speech development. I guess just because it is so cool, like seeing the inside of her brain!
And so, in the order I can think of them, here are the words Margot says so far:
- Cat -- was "ca!" but now she trys to say "kitty" so it comes out extra weird
- Dog
- Duck -- everything with a bill. Lately she is working the "ck" sound which she adds after a pause
- Owl -- cutest one
- Sheep -- well, no. All sheep are "baa". Cows too for whatever reason
- Bear
- Cheese -- she loves the stuff. Wakes up in the morning asking for it.
- Teeth -- when it is time to brush them
- moon
- star
- Ball -- I think this was her actual first word
- Block
- Baby
- Belly
- Socks
- Shoes
- Beans
- Dad -- da
- Bye
- Maisie -- May. She really likes her Maisie book
- Banana -- Maybe cuter than owl. Says "menomena," partially cultivated by Adam
- Bottle -- ba
- Eye -- while she pokes yours out
She says "mama" a lot, and probably more clearly than any other word, but it remains to be seen what "mama" means to her. Sometimes it is me, more often it is her, and here and there it just seems like a fun sound to make real loud.
Sometimes, too, she'll parrot what you say, practicing the noises. Kids are rad.

Moon! Awesome.
I realized since writing this that to her, the moon is the thing that projects onto the wall above her crib at night. It is not a thing in the sky, and not even the thing in the book with the great green room and the mittens. Haha.
