Talking Baby

Naomi has been doing a lot of “baby talk” and I could not really catch what she’s saying sometimes. I wish they invent a tool (like the one in “Honey, I blew up the kid” movie) where he invented a machine that can translate his baby’s babbling for him to understand what his baby is saying…..*wishful thinking*
Anyway, Naomi has been picking up a lot of words now. Here are some of the examples: She can say “No more” when we turn off the T.V and when she finishes her food. She can play with sign language too...she will turn her hand left and right indicating “No more” as well.
Another word that she always use is “Bye” and “ta-ta” The funny thing about this is, when she says “Bye” she will said it with an English accent like “Buy-eee” (dragging some more) and wave.
She can ask us to carry her now by saying “pao, pao” (in mandarin means carry). Besides this she likes to play with sounds & effects like when she plays with her balloons, she will said “ka-boom” or “boom”.
When people make the sound “tlak-tlak-tlak” (need to curl up the tongue to produce this sound) she will imitate as well.
It’s amazing how quickly she pick up words…..like yesterday his daddy was reading a car magazine and she said “Kar” referring to the cars pictures on the magazine cover. She likes to watch Banana in Pajamas now…and she can say “nana” referring to the B1 & B2 characters….at least she’s not watching only Barneys now =)
She can also call babysitter’s children “kor-kor” & “cheh-cheh” now too!!
Day by day she’s learning something new and I’m very happy with her progress so far…
