Word count

by dr-nick Email

Pleasingly, I'm managing to beat my recent average of one post per month. The daily grind is just that - grindy, and it doesn't feel like there's much of individual import to recount. I guess this is as close as it gets; we've counted up the words that Jess can now say (in no particular order):

  1. Horse(y)
  2. Cow
  3. Hot (accompanied by fanning of the hand in front of mouth and blowing)
  4. No
  5. Oh dear
  6. Book
  7. Dog
  8. Tea
  9. Nanny
  10. Hiya
  11. Hello
  12. Bye
  13. Peepo
  14. Boo
  15. Duck
  16. Daddy
  17. Cuddle
  18. Kiss
  19. Nose
  20. Ear
  21. Socks
  22. Shoes
  23. Hair
  24. Teeth
  25. Sheep
  26. Mummy
  27. Baa
  28. Moo
  29. Quack
  30. Jess

I'll add to the list if I can remember any more...

Edit: some more words include:

  1. Yum
  2. Baby
  3. Juice
  4. Row (row, row your boat)
  5. Tree
  6. Bird
  7. Beep (as in the noise your tummy button makes when pressed)

I should mention to those who aren't parents that they do understand quite a lot of words that they don't/can't say. In Jess's case, this includes dolly, milk, breakfast, dinner, eat, chair, bed, wash, nappy, and poo among others...
