Language explosion

[Lauz_1601]

I was watching an interesting programme the other day about language development, and it was really interesting, anyway at the moment Ella is saying new words everyday and I cant keep up, I love seeing her grow and develop and learn new things each day, its so rewarding to think, I helped her to develop and learn

Yesterday I woke up, ella was sat next to me with her teddy pointing at its nose saying "nose nose" she must have remembered the word and decided to say it unprompted. And again this morning she had my book, pointing at a picture of a cake saying "cake cake" Iv never tried to teach her that word, she has just picked it up.

she can now say all the facial features, eyes, ears, mouth, nose and also toes and knees, and can make little sentences like "go on there" "there you go" "dont you dare" "its a bear"

I just think it is amazing how their little minds work, must be like sponges, I am doing child care soon, and I cant wait to learn all about development and learning!

Aww its brill isn't it?
Jack learnt potatoe yesterday lol
Its great when they just do it and it proves that as parents babbling away all day to them does have some effect
My fave at the moent is "go way" usually said to Emily

 

[Lauz_1601]

go away hehe thats a good one to know! Ella said weetabix this morning too, which surprised me becuase thats quite a difficult word!

Yeh it justproves they do actually listen to what were saying lol although half the time choose to ignore it!

 

[Jo]

Lmao too right
He knows so many words it really suprises me sometimes, though he does pretend to be mute around a lot of people
How many words are they meant to know by now??
*toddles off to look it up*

chloes fav sentence at the moment is...

callum.. dont you dare!!!!!

 

[Lauz_1601]

Ella is the same, when she's around people she doesnt know she can be so quiet and just stares at them, like at home she will sing and dance and do actions, at tumble tots she is such a people watcher that she just stands and watches quetly lol.

On the prpgramme it said that at around 18 months they will say around 50 words, I thought wow thats alot then when I actually started to count ella's words she can say more! you forget half of the words they can say

Gonna do a count up of Jacks words, I love how they say stuff only parents can understand though
Emily used to say "Gigam" this could either mean shoes or a drink LOL

 

[Lauz_1601]
