Gemma's words

It has been a long wait for this mama! Gemma is our latest talker of the bunch, although that expected due to her super early and strong gross motor development. Still, a mama likes the reassurance that vocabulary development brings. In the last week, we have been hearing words consistently. Previously, she would pick up a sound, use it randomly for a few days and then never use it again.

In use, we now have:

Hat (haa)- pats head when she sees a hat

Ball (baal)- when she see a ball, wants the ball, is holding the ball or when someone takes her ball away (which happen frequently)

Book (bk)- this one is hard to tell if she is saying ball or book. I usually have to look around to see if there is a ball or book. And I get it wrong at least 50% if the time.

Hi (ai)- to everything. William, Amelia, the school bus, cars driving by while we wait for the bus, dolls and other toys, to daddy, but not to the lady at the grocery store.

Belly (buh)- and lifts her shirt to reveal adorable belly

Amelia (mei)- very hard to catch and understand still, but it is coming along

William (lim)- ADORABLE. Kills me every time. Again, somewhat difficult to distinguish from her other random babble. William totally lights up when he hears it though.

Baby (bayb) when holding a baby upside down by the foot.

Woof - when she hears the neighbor's dog barking or sees a dog outside.

This little monkey made us wait, but she was usually able to get her point across using body language, facial expressions and her adorable little pointer finger.
