One of the most enjoyable moments of being a parent of a one-year old is teaching first words. I tend start with animal noises because it seems to take part of their natural mumbling and transfer them easily into something more meaningful. Right now one of the most enjoyable things we do with Gabby is get her to say “What does a Sheep /Cow/Lion say?” In addition, we of course are teaching other words like “Bye.” Just past week “Bye” went from “Baa” to “Bye.” Of course though that also means that the sheep went from “Baa” to “Bye” when he talks!!! We will get her to straighten it out but, it is so fun to watch how much children change in such a short time. Just 14 months ago she was born – now we are walking, playing with Michael and learning words!! Although she is our third the miracle of children and their development still amazes me!
