Celia is starting to talk more!!!
Just in the last few days she is really picking up. :) I was thinking I would really work with her for a month or two and if I didn't see much increase in her speech, I would ask to have her evaluated. But, I figured she would start to talk more.This last week she has started saying words Nicholas says. New words she can say: 'owie', 'bus', 'fish' (sounds like -ish), and MOMMY! She said mommy on Tuesday for the first time. It sounds just like how Nicholas says it, but in her little girl voice (he he he). She is trying more first letter sounds too. Its so fun to see her getting going.
A friend of mine mentioned giving her choices and having her say her choice even if it doesn't come out just right (like milk or water); and then praising her for her attempts. So when she wants out of her crib, she has to try to say 'down' before I will get her out. I've been really asking her to try and the last few days she tries before I ask her too.

Good for Celia!! She's probably hearing Nicholas and learning from him too. I notice K&B are picking up more words, I think that this is the age when they really start motoring on talking. It's so fun. Go C!
ReplyDeleteYAY is right!!! This is fantastic news and I know she is just going to take off now. Watch out-- she may be a chatterbox really soon! ;) But really, I know this makes you feel so much better, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah Celia! She was just waiting for the right thing to say! Pretty soon she'll be chatting up a storm! That's great news! :)
