Amélie is starting to talk more, and her vocabulary is growing everyday... Here are the high frequency utterances we have observed (i.e. the stuff she says most often):
'wertur' - she wants to pick up her blanket (couverture) and go downstairs with it in the morning. Funny fact: when coming back from daycare, she sees the blanket and points to it saying 'bankie'...
'cheal' - only with dad to ask for her cereals in the morning.
'chaussu' - shoes are still a very big source of fascination for our little one. Everytime there is a pair in sight, she points to it and alterns between 'chaussu' and 'shoes', just to make sure you get want she says.
'wawa/leau' - she loves playing with water and starts knowing that she has more changes to get to play with it when she asks mom for 'leau'.
'woofwoof/doggie' - Amélie is crazy for dogs, either real or in the form of stuffed animals. She is very attached to her 'woogies', our family stuffed dog.
'moo/vach' - she knows the name of most of the farm animals, but her favorite is by far the cow.
'do-doi' - Portuguese for 'it hurts', we all caught pink eye while in DC, and we explained to her that we all had to put drops in our eyes because of 'do-doi'. Now she uses it to describe any booboo she gets.
'cars' - Her current favorite DVD, and when mom says 'Super Amélie, cars en anglais et voiture en francais', Amélie generally responds 'woatu', close enough :)!
'jus/suco/WWWOOOOOAAAAH': last one is used when the parents do not provide the requested juice fast enough...
Her favorite word?
Não - Of course! Note that it is said with perfect Brazilian Portuguese accent... We can only conclude that the language choice for this word must be based on the frequency of occurrence... mmmh time to beef up your discipline skills mom!
