holophrasis

At my age, I should only be able to speak between 10 and 15 words. My vocabulary is much more advanced than that. In addition to meowing like a cat, barking like several kinds of dogs, growling like a bear, and roaring like a scary dinosaur, here are the words I can say and understand the meaning of:

bath

bear

belly

bird

book

bug

bye

cat

clock

cute

D (I recognize the D from my shape-sorting barn)

deer

dog

down

duck

hippo (this is my word for water because there is a hippo on my cup)

light

mom (or mam, as I call her)

night night

no

oh no

puff

rainbow

that

uh oh

up

wow

yum

Some words, like taco, have dropped out of my vocabulary. But I had no reason to say taco anyhow. Since I spend so much time on my words, I cannot count yet but it looks to me like I might have more than 10 or 15 words in my vocabulary.

I am also starting to learn about some other languages. First off, my dad started speaking to me in Spanish and now Hector and Trinity do too. Jolanda sings to me in German and Swiss; she has taught me lots of neat songs and games from Switzerland. sigh, she leaves in less than a week.
