A Vocabulary Lesson

The twins are just about 16 months old now. I've been noticing that they had started to pick up several new words, especially Luke who seems to say a new word almost everyday now. I thought I would post a list along with the translations for our friends and family.




Things Makenzie can say . . .

kah = cat


Mama = MumMum


Baba = Baba (daddy in Chinese)


Ahjay = Jake


berr = bird


dare = there





Things Luke can say . . .


MumMum = MumMum


Baba = Baba


seewal = cereal


dawh = dog


dwop = drop


heeygo = Here you go.


boohm = go boom (fall down)


dowit = throw it


bip = bib


Ith = Goliath (his toy lion)


gup = cup


Zawwo = Zorro (our cat)


Rhrrrrrr = vroom


pawp = poop


dinkhoo = thank you


thissss = this


all dun = all done


bah = book


bawh = ball

As you can see, Luke can say a lot more than Makenzie at the moment. I don't doubt that this will change soon. The pattern seems to be that Luke will start to do something new and just about when he has almost mastered it, Makenzie will start to do it and master it right away.
