From time to time, I go overboard thinking how mean we are with Amélie, trying to get her to figure out three languages at once... She is pointing at a lot of things lately, with notable "aaaahhh"s, clearly showing that she would like to express something close to "gimme that thingie there"...
A few things she seems to have gotten down so far:
uhoh - that thing people say around here after doing something wrong...
doudou - the little puppet given by tata Aïcha
ahoooo and miaou - from her favorite book, the Doggies
Not very elaborate, but a start... I also find solace in the multilingual families board, and in the association of multilingual children...
From these sites, it seems that she might not be talking till she is 21/2 years old... i.e. a whole lot more "aaaahhh"s to come... keep swimming!

If it's any consolation, Amelie's vocabulary at 12 months is pretty close to Esme's at the same age--I don't think you have a thing to worry about!
Thanks Emily, this definitely helps :)...
