Julia's latest words

Julia (18 and 1/2 months) suddenly seems to be adding a lot of words to her vocabulary. For a while it was "ball, duck, ma ma, wa wa, nummy nummy" and a few select animal sounds. Here are the latest:


-"Noooooo!" (VERY often these days)
-"Hullo" and "Ba-bye"
-"Sigh" (outside)
-"Baby Dedus" (Baby Jesus)
-"Blaaa!" (when getting dirty diaper changed)
-"Djoo" (shoes, she now says the "ooh" sound in shoe and moo- big improvement!)
-"Boo" (boots, her favorite kind of shoes to wear)
-"Sah" (socks)
-"Juze" (juice)
-"Sheeze" (cheese)
-"Teece" (teeth, when she wants to brush)
-"Buh" (book)
-"Baa" (bath)
-"Bah" (block)
-"Arah" (Hurrah in "The Ants go Marching")
-"Ma ma ma, Da da da" (She actually says these to the correct parent now)
-"Oooooh" (when looking at lighted tree or anything really pretty)
-"Weee!" (when going down a slide or doing anything fun)
-"Ho ho ho" (surprised me with this one when I showed her a Santa ornament! I think Jonny was saying it to her at the store when they saw Santa or something.)
-Most all animal sounds, but the new favorite is "Neeeee" (neigh)
-A few names, "Bulah" (Allyson's friend Bella!), "Unta Ta" (Uncle Todd who gives her a treat and says his name every time he sees her - which is several times a week since preschool is at his house), and an occasional "Di-din" (sounds like Jillian and/or Jordan)
-She also "sings" a lot, babbling in a somewhat melodic way
-Oh, she knows quite a few signs too (bath, water, eat, milk, book, sleep, finished, points to all body parts, etc). We are working on being better about signing with her.

I hope our Christmas Celebration will include that little darling, since the last time we saw her was probably 6 months ago. Lets do Kneaders in teh morning of the 23rd... will that work?

Oh MAN she's cute. Todd is a smartie with the treat and name routine. I'll try it when I get there . . .

I love when they start to say all kinds of things. It is so fun to just sit and listen to them talk. She looks adorable in her hat!!

I love that the pic of Jonny and Julia is only half of both of their faces.

What a great amount of words! I can't wait to hear them. It shouldn't be hard for her to learn my name. I mean, it's her's too after all. I've been thinking for a while that I want to start calling her Ju em, instead of Ju ju or something to remind her of her great middle name.

THanks for the obese dog link...I'm sure my dad will love to hear about it!! So funny

Drew said...

Ha ha, in fact, all I heard her say tonight at all was "Noooo!" even when she meant yes. I loved her pigtails though. Too bad I showed up late and you had to take off. We'll hang out again soon!

LOL, I totally missed out the whole "learning how to talk" since I'm deaf and all that! It's nice to get to learn a little about how baby sounds like when they learn to talk! Thanks Melody for the lesson about the hearing culture!
