Wow alz your first one was putting several words together at this age - that is really impressive! We are a long way short of that! DD has a few words - alot that she says when she is copying what we are saying and a few that she says unprompted, and yes, a few animal noises. Trying to think what they are....mum, dad, nanna, book (ba), bath (ba), ta, cake, cat, baa baa, duck, moo, bye, clap (she says clap when she claps - quirky!) hooray, tickle. I think that is all of them.
When Alannah was going to a speech pathologist (for eating issues, not speech) she asked what words Alannah was saying and said that at about 13 months just mum and dad and perhaps 1 or 2 others was fine. So yeah, very few words is fine at this stage.
And I think what you are saying about talking and motor skills is right, they seem to have their mind on one or the other and excel at that. Alannah is going fine with talking but isn't walking yet so she fits that rule also.
For christmas we are having a day this weekend with my family and then christmas day with DHs family, so we are not hosting anything. My family do is about 4 hours drive away and DHs family is about 2 hours away so travelling for both but not too far.
Fleur - the animal noises are very cute aren't they, we also get trumpeting elephants and fish that go 'moom moom moom' (that makes sense if you remember Ernie and Bert and their gold fish on Sesame Street).
Leesa - What a cheeky little one, and a bit sneaky also? Hope he is enjoying the car bed!
sagres, lol@ the fish saying moom moom! That's cute.
Leesa, what an adventurer you have! The car bed sounds very cute. I am thinking about a bed for Pie, she sends most of her time in our bed anyway and I am thinking if she had her own little bed I could put it up against the side of ours... maybe it would encourage her to be in it a bit more. I don't mind her being in with us, but she's a very restless sleeper & demands her space, so I spend a lot of the night getting kicked & pushed. It would be different if she would just cuddle up & sleep! but she doesn't seem to like cuddles in bad.
I forgot we also have 'yay' & 'uh-oh' - I was reminded last night when I was on the computer & she was whinging to be picked up. And I said 'hang on a second' wanting to finish what I was typing. So the little monkey just switched off the computer at the hard drive, then clapped her hands & said 'yay!' teach me to keep her waiting
Hello Ladies!
It has been sometime since I have been on here! My due date was this groups but I ended up have DD July 8th 09. I think my baby buddies group ended and I remember some of you so I thought I would join in
So it seems we have quite a few special little ones turning 2 soon! Any birthday party plans for anyone yet? We are just doing something small with close family and friends, and a special 3D cake (most likely Thomas the Tank!).
I'm a bit concerned about DS' speech though - how much are your LO's talking these days?
Yup, DS turned 2 at the end of July and he was spoilt rotten lol. Did u have a party or do something else special for the occasion?
I've been feeling a bit bad though as I've been (at times) a bit hard on him. I have been expecting too much from him, I keep forgetting he is only 2, because he plays with his older sister (3.5 years) so well and similarly (you could hardly pick they have a 16 month gap, in fact many people comment and ask if they are twins). I think I'm getting better now, with only DD1 it was easy to gauge where she was at developmentally. But I've been expecting things of him that DD1 is capable of, and that's not fair on the little guy.
Anyway, enough of that whinge lol!
Wow, and having another bundle too! DS is now a middle brother too. I had DD2 in April 2011 . You will have a great age gap there !
